  1. This is why I stressed this. Have the R211s go to Jamaica, Pitkin, and 207th. Have the displaced R160s go to Coney Island...
  2. But then again, this isn't a weekday, I live infront of Concourse, and on weekends, especially Sundays, the yard is still pretty full, in addition to the and those 4 's there. And to what you said about C crews, literally they could use A crews on those R179s. (my take)
  3. The link is invalid, and I was referring to @Calvin's comment about what lines they are assigned to...
  4. thats like going to Alabama Avenue from Chauncey, and taking a to Bway Jct, and then a to the next stop lmao
  5. This is only if they exercise. The R211s go to Jamaica, and pitkin first. The remaining ones can go to Coney Island, along with the R160s.
  6. Coney Island is just starting to take care of them, but these R46s should be really displaced by R160s. My take
  7. This is true, but they're better off receiving R160s, why? Cause Sea Beach, 4th Avenue, Crosstown, and Brighton CBTC aren't coming no time soon, but the next line to get CBTC is 8th Avenue, so the newest trains running with the newest CBTC system, kinda goes good for one another.
  8. if you think about it, the was actually the first, because of the R160s coming in, not being swapped in.
  9. Is MTA really asking for kids to pay for a bus ride? I thought kids were free...
  10. Exactly, because Jamaica is so greedy. You can equip the trains with CBTC, and send em right back to Coney Island.
  11. This is why I'm saying in the R211 thread, if MTA does exercise, have the R211s go to Jamaica, Pitkin, and (32 4-cars) for ENY, have the displaced R160s go to Coney Island, so they can get their R160s back. At the end of the day, R211s are going there anyway, so R160 s have a possibility of getting displaced.
  12. Well Brighton, Astoria, and Brighton riders with hit the hardest by this. Alot of people are not happy about the R46s on the , and they aren't even railfanners. I think one time, Brighton's residents complained about the R46 on the in 2001. If I'm not mistaken.
  13. Operators get to choose what train they want? Did not know that.
  14. That is true but there is one part of the R160B Siemens propulsion, that the R142A has as well.
  15. They should. And those things will turn 50 this year. And I think its 2022 or 3... But the SIR should be a priority because they're older than the R46, and are in worse shape, 2023 is far away..
  16. Well the R142 and R142A chimes aren't as loud as the R160Bs. For some reason the R160As have quieter chimes. And nothing would go wrong, because thats why there is a warning for the closing doors. No matter how the chime sounds.
  17. I swear I hope the R211 has the R143/160/188 chime tone, I don't like the 142/A/179 one besides, every train has atleast a A division twin. Like the R179 with the R142A, and now the R211 wit the R188
