R32 3838

I doubt it, i know like 2 line supervisors DON'T even Want the R32's on the but of course they were forced to have em on there, thats why they just took them off out of nowhere in the end of 2010, but if this is in fact True, Jamaica and ENY is gonna be pissed, Jamaica Needs its R46's Back and ENY needs its R42's back unless ENY can fix up that R32 that they have sitting in their yard and have it for a spare train just incase they need a train, they need to end this bullshit already and have everything back to normal, it doesn't make sense anyway, the spends alot of time underground as well, the still had very Few Hot Cars (better than last year) they Need to just send them somewhere else already, its gonna result to that anyway, the cars have about 5-8 years left in revenue service, and i know they aren't gonna do this for the next 5 years, the (A)/© needs newer equipment, as much as i hate to say this, give the damn or R68/A's already, the R68's would be perfect for the that would shut everyone up IMO.

2 more week to a month things would go back to normal, theres no offical date on when the R32's will return to the like this person Mentiond: http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=1175446

4823 is still at QV saw a pic of it at 165th st bus term

Agreed, I said the same thing, but when sometimes 207th don't have any room, besides they are scrapping R44's so thats taking up space, but it is odd to have the cars in FP yard until it got transferd to ENY where they are at now BTW nothing new with the cars really, they are in the same spot since the day they got there

oh hell no, I want em back on the already, i want the 8 car train back lol trust Me guys I can't STAND the R44's and yes theres a picture going around of the R44 being rehabbed, but THAT might just BE a museum car thats why i said rumor, and to be honest Subchat has way better sources on there than this site, they may flame eachother to death but when it comes to the real deal they are right on the money, on here theres too much foam

since its almost labor day, thing may get back to normal, but its unkown when they will start swapping equipment, BTW there is an R44 being worked on in the 207th st main shops (not stripped) rumors saying its for the museum others are saying they are bringing them back, ( i hope not) : http://www.subchat.com/readflat.asp?Id=1174976&p=1#1175131 this Fall is gonna be intresting

those R143's are gonna stay on the , made it clear that those cars are for the , i see the R160A-1's going to 207th but not the R143's MTA didn't waste money getting those cars ready for the ATO and CBTC upgrade for nothing, i don't believe they are gonna send the R143's to the i just don't see it happening

last night about 4 R32's ran on the during the overnight along with 1 R42, the made it clear that they want to send about 64 R46's to SI to replace those R44's out there, its in the capital program

yeah those will be the A-A units and some ABBA units, 6170-6258 are the cars that will go to SIR, as for the ones in the subway they aren't getting another rehab, they just received their rehab 2-4 years ago

From what I heard the R188's will have the same systems as the R142A's

The R46's don't have alot a life left in them ether, the ones on the and are doing bad as well due to breakdowns and etc., the Polit R179 should be here by 2015-earliy 2016 (if deliverd late) for testing when the R32's retire half of them will get scrapped, the other half will stay for non revenue service (work trains) for the B division, also another pair will be saved for the Museum.

The MTA Hates the depot, I GOT PISSED when they took 3500-3522,24, 3523 is still at BP, they also took 3759-65, people clam its a milage thing, To Me that BS, they just wanted to take our good buses like in 2006 when they took ALL of our good RTS, its a shame that BP is getting Junk, but BP will fix 139 up, they are in the garage being worked on, but I agree with you, i don't mind RTS but when they gave us these orions then i knew these buses weren't gonna last, Esp. on Jamaica Ave on the Q110

R42's 1969-71 R32 1964-5 You should read what I wrote, instead of being imature

Ive been saying the same thing, but Its best to keep quiet on the R32 part, you should know now that the R32's are the most hated cars amd once they leave these same clowns will be whining oh i wish the R32's would have stayed and etc., a train is a train, a good chuck of r32's are gonna stay anyway mainly for B divison work service so let THEM whine and bicth, at the end of the day the R32 gets the last laugh

i heard 2014 but it can be earlier and I don't think pitkin wants the R32's btw for anyone who doesn't know the R32's are ONLY mantained at 207th st Shops

I still doubt it, too many people are throwing more bones out there, the MTA made it clear that the r143's were staying on the , it would be a big waste of money doing that, they should just give the new cars and get it over with, or send them the R160A-1's instead, but you never know what can happen

Exactly, Don't believe that bullshit, the R143's are staying on the , they spent all that money getting those cars to run by itself

The R143's WILL NOT go to the , why in the hell would MTA spend Money on modifying those cars for the line just to put em on the those R143's are for the for CBTC as well as about 50-64 R160's with the red dot thats on top of the number boards, the made it clear that the R179's are going to the (subject to change) the R143's were bulit for the , if that were to happen, the would have to spend MORE money modifing the R160A-1's to run for ATO service, I don't believe that R143 going to the bullshit, eventhough i would like to see R143's on the , I just don't see it happening, the R143's are all modifed to run in ATO as well as those R160A-1's that have the red dot on top of the number board, so it wouldn't make sense to send cars that are ALREADY modifed for ATO, they might send the R160A-1 cars to the that would make more sense but the R143's aren't going anywhere

Humm 9080 got sent back, Now I think what JFK is gonna do, I heard alot of drivers at JFK are complaining about the RTS (i have no clue why, they are good buses, but its about the legroom)

I doubt it, some of the SMS units still have A/C issues just some of them

I know The R46's that are on the are not work horses no more they perform Just as bad as the R32's and R42's if not wrose than both people just favor them because they are comfortable, they run like shit, the Jamaica ones run much better and perform way better than the ones on the , it seems the R42 is doing better on the than on the

at BP, I saw the workers pull Out Old RTS Parts from the Stock Room, They are making sure they are ready

if the R179's are gonna be in 10 car sets mostly then something isn't right, (meaning the might not get these cars or the goes full length)

Some people don't like to read at all, sadly, but We will wait and see what happens

they shouldn't be talking when the R46's are garbage and run like garbage
