Was Jamaica the first Queens depot to get RTS?

Once you in single digits, That's it. Like West Farms Orion 7s (Its chump change). Jamaica depot was the first Queens depot to get RTS right? It would be dope that Jamaica was the 1st and last depot with Queen's RTS.

I find it funny when to voices mix in the same announcement. (Jessica) "THIS IS A MANHATTAN BOUND VIA THE 7TH AVENUE LINE,(Dianne) the next stop is, 96 st." You literally got some chick screaming at you. And then it goes to a nice peaceful grandma voice. But imo, the entire A division (except is good to my ears. All the B division announcements I dislike except the , , and

Dianne sounds like the old lady that sells Italian icees for a dollar.

Can't they just use parts from the recently retired Gen CNGs to repair it. It's only about 12 years old.

To me, those Novas are better than the Xcelsior's.

Is the Q88 Queens Village longest Route? Also, were the GREEN Orion 7s exclusively sent to Queens Village and Manhattanville?

How many RTSes are at Ulmer Park?

The only thing with the is 145 Street. When the goes to Harlem, the R142s skip 145th. So how would they handle that?

That's because the sucks @ss on the Express and in general. The and run faster than the . Its just that skips stops. The only true Express portion is Fulton. CPW is stop and Go.

What's the Ghettoest Mall in all the land? My bets on Kings Plaza.

I know its early to determine car assignments but what's more likely? The and get the new R262s. Or use the R262s on the busier Lexington Avenue lines and move the R142s/A from the to and ? I would prefer that the R262S go to Lexington so that the open gangways can be used to fit more people since Lexington is very busy. I would also put them on the aswell since it could share cars with the and since its the longest IRT route. And the Older tech trains work 7 Av.

At least it's not Gun Hill dirty

Besides RTS. I don't see the old gens as being old. These buses age very well. These buses dont look like old buses. RTSes look like they're old. But old gens nah. Guess the public considers old gens old.

To be honest, I thought all the RTSes were going to end at MTA Bus in LaGuardia or JFK. LaGuardia especially because they always used to get buses that were about to retire. Like the 6500s from Fresh Pond. And LaGuardia has an extensive history of getting all the older RTSes before retirement. And were the last to run the 1996 RTS. It would be cool to see Jamaica Depot get the last RTSes because the RTSes in Queens (imo) were the best maintained ones. Now excluding MTA Bus, Queens Village and Jamaica took real good care of those buses, and mad fast too. Besides the RTS is the face of Jamaica and its legendary routes like the Q83 Q17 Q5 Q85 and ect.

I bet that Ulmer Park will be the last depot to have them

Enough for them to call ems

I don't think any train can beat the . The AM rush is brutal on the Local and Express. You will have to let trains pass and wait for the next one just to get some standing room.

Do SIR Train operators make the same as NYC subway operators?

When Trains are converted to work service, do they have specific procedures on how they are to be implemented. In the case of the 62s/As, would they take out side rollsigns and seats. Would they take out the gates on the front of the car to make it look like an R127/R134?

Fairpoint. All I can say now is that the R62s and R62s better be ready for being the next work trains.

Yeah, forgot about the open gangway. That would greatly improve the service and overcrowding.

I hear you about that, but at the same time is completely underground and its using R32 and R46s which are much older than the 62As. Now yeah, the is heavily used so those doors might need some work on it but overall. Many subway lines are using old car types underground. Half of the is underground and has a good amount of R46s, The is completely underground with R46s. And the is mostly underground with R46s and R32s. So to me, those 62As have a lot more life in them.

There's no need for that but if they were to do something like that, I'd rather have the run up Brighton and the up west end. But won't do that. They would have to change the signs at all stations. And it's not like the equipment is going to change, so it really doesn't need to happen.
