Umm, No. i for one find this Aquafina girl’s announcements very unprofessional. This is Yet Another picture of as to why the LIRR and it’s crew is treated and paid better than New York City Transit. 

Nah... you're just hating Awkwafina's announcements are fine and entertaining.

Bruh, no one really knows what's going to happen. I will assume the C is going to be all R32's if they can help it. I think that would be the easiest solution without having to swap cars back. The J/Z have to make service with whatever they got 42's and 160's, maybe a few sets of 32's. A train probably getting 46's back from Coney, it'll be interesting tomorrow. 

That's true because there were refurbished R46s on the . Mind you, 207 treats their R46s like shit.

I think some of the R143s have these motors and will be expanded to the entire fleet. R142s, 160s: don't know. 

R142 1211-1215 and R142A 7775 have these new door motors. The R179s  need these.

As of December 3rd 2019, Coney Island and Jamaica Yards are preparing for the CBTC signalling system for the Queens Blvd Line    and apparently ENY's  cars as well. Jamaica is planning to swap their R46s out for most of Coney Island's R160A-2, R160B Siemens/Alstom cars. When the swap is completed, you'll see R46s more on the  and  Lines. Since the R46s aren't CBTC compatible, they'll be at COney Island permanently.

Why couldn't the MTA have 's run via the  line to Church Av or 2nd Avenue, 's running their regular route, 's run via 4th Avenue Express to Coney Island,  trains running via 4th Avenue Local/Express via the  to terminate at Bay Pkwy and/or Coney Island and  trains run every 16 Minutes to/from Bay Ridge to avoid congestion and have those 2 car  sets convert into 2 4 car units to shuttle passengers to Prospect Park and have 2 2-car units shuttle passengers to Franklin Avenue where they can use the ,  ,  , and  trains as a alternate.

What is your camera dude???? Amazing!

@Deucey @Gong Gahou Thanks. I stand corrected again.

It actually did start with the Lexington Avenue Subway.

I stand corrected.

Can I please know about where you make the signs? I really want to make my own.

The IND Subway opened in Winter 1940. It is also know as the "Independent Subway System". The current lines for the IND are the  and Rockaway Park . The current subway cars that run on the IND Subway is the R32, R46, R68/A, R160A-1/2/B,/BS, and the Lemon R179. In the future, the  is underway of starting the Kawasaki R211 in 2020.  You guys can talk among yourselves.

I think both fleets can do 50 years of service easily. They have been well maintained their entire careers and are stainless steel.

Lol R262. It's just like R62 2.0 in a way! 

The R62/R62As are already nearing 40 years of service, so they will need to be retired soon. However, I don't see them leaving anytime soon (probably not until 2028-2030)...

Dude how you insert pictures similar to that B Train Pic of urs.

That's always been the plan

 

Do the math

If the shutdown had happened

The was going to run every 3-4 mins

The and was going to see service increases 

Meaning more 8 car trains are required.

Even with all the 8 car R179 in service, there would still need to be an increase of R160A-1's for future CBTC on queens blvd. The remaining would go to the to form 8 car trains. There wouldn't be enough R160's to cover the (G). Hence half the R32 fleet would go to CI to supplement the line. 

 

Now that the shutdown isn't happening 

 

The might not even need the R32's, the is still going 8 cars. If there's enough tech trains then there wouldn't be a need for R32's. 

 

This was confirmed by numerous sources but as we all know plans change. 

 

At the end of the day the majority of R32's will still be on the and 

 

 

Just talking about the  and  part. That is SUPER true because,  since 's are single tracked in the tunnel and  and  ridership has increased a dozen 50% and the  has increased 35% ridership.

The  is out between Crescent St and Jamaica Center, so all detours have to be through Manhattan/Penn 

Yeah but, if ENY commuters want the LIRR, they can take the  to Lorimer.  to Queens. Then  to Jamaica Center

It's so excruciating to hear that  workers are always getting tormented physically. This time beside my previous comment, a FEMALE train operator was physically punched in a face at Coney Island- Stillwell Avenue terminus while departing it on the  line on Monday. Beside that fact that bus operators are protected by the NYSL, but motormen/women aren't. The report made it to News 12 this morning. She said that "I don't want my brothers and sisters to go through what I did on Monday." I forgot the operator's name but sh had a swollen and a purple eye. I just have no words for MTA crimes nowdays. Ridiculous.

All of that is true. The main reason Skip-Skip ended (why the was eliminated) was because Skip-Stop wasn't that popular on the IRT Broadway/7th Avenue Line. 

if you want to talk about the IRT, lets continue the discussion here.  

 

 

Sure thanks!!!!

Today, we will take a look of the diversity fleet of the IRT Lexington Avenue Subway Line. It's the only subway line to serve the east side of Manhattan, until the opening of the Second Avenue Subway at 72nd, 86th, and 96th Sts. Regular subway fleet along the line in Manhattan, and especially Brooklyn and The Bronx such as R142/As on the / lines & R62As on the . Special appearances features R142/As on the *, R142As on the , and the R62/As on the *. Also featuring, the train via Lexington Avenue Line. Please enjoy. NOTE: R142As ran on the Line from 2000-2018, when the line's NTT's went to the Line for CBTC automation in exchange for the R62As. R62s made the in-service debut on the in 1983.

 

The  ran some R142As this year but yeah, officially in 2018.

COool topic!!!

The IRT (Interborough) Subway was the first to open the subway in 1904 starting with the Lexington Avenue Line or current  line in Manhattan. The IRT runs in all boroughs except Staten Island. The subway holds 7 Lines include 2 express ones and a nostalgia skip- stop that ended in Spring 2005. The lines are the  and the legendary retired skip- stop  train. The stocks of the IRT is the R62, R62A, R142, R142A, and the R188.

Question, would a split on 7th Avenue and Lexington ever happen?

For example, downtown trains operate via 7th Avenue to Bowling Green and uptown trains operate via Lexington Avenue.

Who knows... maybe!

No. Just saying that this has been discussed.
