  1. I agree, it will go a long way to improve the interior of these old trains, the last 32 I was on had peeling paint on teh walls.
  2. Thanks to the magic of Photoshop and NYTransit who took the photo, I present to you, the preview of the SMS R32 interior:
  3. I understand, however I am still wondering if it will mean more R42s showing up on the during off peak times
  4. I cant wait to see how these trains look all shiny again with the R160 painted interiors one of hte best part about hte new trains is the bright, inviting interiors instead of the dingy yellow and beige colors the older trains have
  5. that should be interesting. That yellow and navy blue scheme is a bit depressing looking.
  6. does that mean the R42s on the will show up more often or it'll just mean less R160s as spare in East NY yard. When I Was in the city last sunday, there was only 1 R42 set on the the other 4 were laid up.
  7. so is this the one thats gunna make these things last to 2017?
  8. Metro North is like an alternate universe, its like the LIRR but the fonts are wierd, the trains have the seats going the wrong way, the same dude is talking about Grand Central instead of Penn Station, old trains actually run outside of rush hour, diesel trains have single decked cars instead of double deckers, the stations look clean, and arent falling apart, and even the conductors are less grumpy on Metro North.
  9. my power is back on as of 5pm today, thanks for the concern :)

  10. I cant do anything untill my power is restored at my house, all the files for my site are on my desktop computer.

  11. the site hosting them is down, they arent on the current version of my Subway photos website.

  12. they were taken off the site when i changed my subway site around to be more about train photos. I probably should find a way to put em back up

  13. we wont see all the M8s for several years at the rate this is going. And I only made mention of that because I believe they will keep the M6 cars and possibly some M4s because they are going to need em, when you factor the M8 totals after subtracting about 60 of them for SLE.
  14. Shore Line east is getting M8s as well
  15. bring back the door closing bell from teh M1/3!
  16. Not really, the needs the special R160 sets that it has because it uses CBTC and has only one person per train operation, the 32s cant do that because they lack the technology and the full width cabs to properly open and close the doors.
  17. 1 - R62A 2 - R142 3 - half R62 R62A 4 - half R62 R142 5 - R142 6 - mostly R142A some R62A 7 - R142 R188 S - R62A A - R46 some R32 (will get all 46s when 179s come in) B - R68A some R160 C - R46 some R32 (will get all 46s when 179s come in) D - R68 E - the remaining 42s R160 (will get 179s) F - half R46 R160 (will get 179s and move the 46s to pitkin) G - R68 J - R160 some R32 (will get 179s) M - R160 L - R143 some R160 N - some R68 R160 Q - R68A R160 R - half R46 R160 (will get 179s to share with E and F) S frank - R68A S rock - R46 Z - R160 the 179 order cant come fast enough in my opinion. Staten Island - a special fleet of 179s should be ordered for the SIRT, no handmedown 46s
  18. the Off topic lounge, the place to learn how ****** up the world is lol
  19. Jon, it says it on my site banner
