  1. Most of the daily riders already know the trains they take everyday even if the signs are messed up. As long as the trains are moving and taking them to their destinations is what they care most about.
  2. Yeah they are going to do whatever they want on line. They probably really don't want to use R46 on and to keep them on . Just like the probably really don't want to use R32.
  3. They probably want to be more uniformed and want more of the R46 on for LCD signs at Ditmars Blvd, and for LCD and because most R68/R68A cars does not have 96 St destination rollsigns the same reason how they are using more R160 on for LED signs. They also are probably trying to keep R68/R68A on 100% similar to using 100% R68, and some train cars are also stored in Concourse Yard in the with . Just like how some are also stored in Coney Island Yard with . They are trying to be uniformed.
  4. Does the have any R46 cars running today? Are there any R32 cars running on ?
  5. Crazy how all of these train cars are swapping all over the place around the same time.
  6. will mainly use R46 and R179 for normal service and then use R32 for Rush Hours or some Off Peak runs if they need to use some. Also glad they are putting some R46 back on some full length trains and used with R179.
  7. Just like / / . Circle is Local and Diamond is Express usually during AM and PM Rush Hours.
  8. The remaining cars of R32 eventually need to be gone from passenger service. 2020 should be their final year just like the current R42. They are long overdue and all were suppose to be have been gone around the same year and time, when they retired the other Subway Cars Redbirds/R32/R38/R40s/R42 and then they retired The Subway R44 because they were in bad conditions. After when they finally retire the rest of R32 and currently R42, The B-Division will have in service R46/R68 & R68A/R143/R160/R179. The A-Division currently has R62 & R62A/R142 & R142A & R188.
  9. That means we are on the same Train. Right now at Far Rockaway station.
  10. I am currently now on the R42 and I will enjoy the ride and with other riders. This is a Special Day.
  11. I could to live right in Brooklyn and not far too from Line.
  12. R62A R142 R62 R142/R142A R142 R62A R142A/R188 R46/R179 R68/R68A R32/R179 R68 R160 R46/R160 R68/R68A R143/R160/R179 R143/R160 R160 R46/R68/R68A/R160 R46/R68/R68A/R160 R46/R160 Rockaway Park: R46 Franklin Av: R68 42 St: R62A
  13. Yes R46 invasion are all over the place now. They are currently on some on few on Rockaway Park and sometimes on . They are going no where yet and far from retirement. Even though the Subway R44s are gone. We have R46 in the Subways and R44 on Staten Island Railway still going strong. R211 we will be waiting a very long time for them to come and we are currently finishing R179 orders and trying to resolve some mechanical issues. They are also some R68/R68A invasions going on they are currently on some on few on , PM put in on and Franklin Av .
  14. You could tell MTA Subway Crews are getting beyond tired of using R32 and R42. And I don't blame them for that, because they were supposed to have been retired already.
  15. Did all of the R179 cars returned to service today?
  16. Remember R42s were previously retired earlier this month and then returned to service because R179s had some mechanical issues and so far now they are all fixed so R42 has again currently returned to retirement until further notice or for good.
  17. R179 are back in passenger service so R42 are not needed now and are put away in storage.
  18. New subway cars let riders — and smells, and creeps — move freely By David Meyer and Tamar Lapin January 21, 2020 | 5:49pm First look at MTA's new state-of-the-art subway cars.MTA Get ready to smell other straphangers from several subway cars away. The MTA on Tuesday released a sneak peek of its upcoming “open gangway” trains, in which all the cars are linked via one long passage. Images of the under-construction cars show a seamless corridor with wall handles between the cars — instead of the heavy doors and rickety platforms on trains currently riding the rails. The new design should increase capacity and allow commuters to move freely around trains — but also mean unpleasant smells, sounds and people will no longer be confined to one carriage. “They have benefits and issues — less worry about falling [in between cars] but no escape from someone you’re trying to get away from in your car — think performers, odiferous and, or dangerous individuals, pizza rats,” said Lisa Daglian of the Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to the MTA.
  19. I think opened gangways maybe unsafe for the Subways, but I could see them using gangways on the Staten Island Railway.
  20. Airtrain is Free at Federal Circle, Lefferts Blvd, and Airport Terminal stops. Only at Howard Beach and Jamaica you have to pay.
