No not anymore. Once all the R179’s for the entered service that pushed all the R32’s back to the   and  lines.

But do they have R42s?

Do the and still have R32s? if not, where did they go?

Could I have a destination sign done:

A better solution would be to extend the Second Ave. subway west along 125th to the river.

Yes, maybe the goes to the river and the goes to the Bronx?

That sounds sorta  unnecessary. A 125th stop on MNR would be a 3-block walk to the 1 at 125th.

True -- that's why I was thinking "Why would they build that?" But, they might build a tram to supplement the Bx15, M60SBS, M100, and M101 on 125 St, connecting to the and MNR.

Yea, i didn't understad - I thought specific buses were assigned to specific routes. Thanks @Snorunts

Are there any trams (such as the BQX) that actually might be built sometime in the (somewhat) near future? And, am I wrong that there was a proposal to link 116 St to the 125 St MNR station if West Side Access is built?

Just the M100 because its at Kingsbridge, a Bronx depot. Manhattan and Brooklyn depots don’t have any LFS units.

ok - KB depot is on Manhattan Island, but in the Bronx division, right? What buses out of KB have Nova LFS 40 footers?

Which Manhattan/Brooklyn bus routes run all or mostly Nova LFS 40 footers? I know the M100 does, but are there any others?

I noticed today, those 2/3 shuttles in harlem are trackable in bustime. S96B1, S96b2, s96b3 are what you gotta type in

wow! are any other shuttles trackable?

Where can you walk on the Rockaway Beach Branch? I think it is legal if you stay in Forest Park, but not sure. Could anyone tell me where the entrance to walk on the branch is and if I need any special maps/equipment?

Thanks!

Just took one of the special  trains to 145th Street. The signage on the outside of the train says “Last Stop”, and the automated announcements have it as an  to Myrtle-Wyckoff Aves. I guess there’s no program for an M to 145th Street. The look on people’s faces after 59th Street has been PRICELESS, so much confusion and very little signs explaining what’s  happening. The only thing more rare than an  on CPW would probably be the  on the Grand Concourse or the  to Far Rockaway. 

how would the get on Grand Concourse?

Does anybody think that the will build a tram ever?

I was on 3776 a few days ago and that R32 has a howling noise like the R68s

well then it was not 3776. this was an r179

Could you also do the overhead sign with destinations

Of the GWB routes I noticed the 171 is usually your best bet for an older MCI followed by the 175 but both of those use NABIs too. The 186 to dumont is NABIs now, the 188 used to use MCI regularly but it’s been a while since i last tracked or seen an mci on that route.

The 175 has virtually no MCIs -- have seen/tracked none recently. As for the 171, I'm pretty sure it has MCIs b/c it runs on Rt.4 almost its whole route.

I saw 3676 (I think, might have been 3776) at Bombardier's Plattsburgh facility a few weeks ago -- not sure when it will arrive in NY.

If you can't do it, then don't worry bout the 90-92 Sts station name -- there might not be room. @Frankie12345

Thanks and sorry if I seem pushy.

Make a tram with a (14) bullet:

Riverside Park

96 St - Bway

96 St - CPW

96 St - 5 Av

96 St - Lex Av

96 St - 2 Av

Runs down York Av

91 St

86 St

79 St

72 St

66 St

62 St - 1 Av (NB only*) - build connection to

57 St - 1 Av (SB only*)

Runs along Queensboro Bridge

11 St/Qns Plaza

11 St/46 Av

Vernon-Jackson

*Trains have to get onto/off of the Queensboro Bridge, so the exit and entrance stops are at  different places.

I just told you in the Random Thoughts Thread that only the  use R179s or you just ignored me.

Oh sorry did not see that post -- but I have seen R179s on the .

There is a new 10 car R179 heading southbound on the  for a test run. Stopped at 145 and opened the doors on the wrong side at 2:15pm. Couldn’t get a pic since I went by it on a northbound  but the last car was 3272 if that tells anyone what set(s) it is.

There are R179 sets in revenue service.

Also, do any other trains besides the have R179s?
