There has never been such an issue with the R142As. But there has been such an issue with the R62A back when they were new.

Yes and the deliveries will most likely be ongoing till then..

Actually, they have a long way to go, as from what I've read the cutover won't be finished before early 2016. It's gonna be a lot more years of work going on...

What he basically suggested is for the system to stop improving, to stop ordering new cars. I'm all for maintaining both new and old cars properly, but eventually everything has to be replaced no matter how well it's maintained. Yes, 40 years should be the limit!

I'm well aware of that. I was just pointing out that having new subway cars is better than running the old ones until their wheels come off... That's what he basically suggested.

If anything, they should have ordered more R160s. What you suggest, basically, is for them to run cars until they break down and then rebuild them. Absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic. It's an irresponsible way to run the system. No one said that the R62As aren't safe. Even the R32s are safe. But that's besides the point.

There was NYPD and EMS activity for someone requiring medical assistance.

Due to ATS system maintenance the countdown clocks will be offline on A division lines on Saturday from 7a.m. to 7p.m., according to a tweet from NYCTSubwayScoop. I didn't wanna create a separate thread for this, as it isn't that important, so I thought this was the appropriate thread.

It was at 111st. I don't know if there's such a limit.. Don't worry though...

There was a police investigation.

There is no train service at Nevins at this time..

I agree, but don't they spend more money by running both the and the into Manhattan? Normally the latter would be a shuttle requiring only 2 T/Os, I believe, but now it requires more..

No problem! Just check on planned service changes on mta.info and you'll find all the info you need there..

Yes, the is running at night this week.

What was the reason for this?

I would assume the R160, but I don't know..

Question: I wonder, how are rail conditions identified? do they have to use a track geometry car, or can they be identified in any other way?

Found this on sub chat. R142A at Willets Point

The ride may have made her nauseous, but her reporting did the same to me...
