R32 3838

3370/71,3630/31,3836/7,3786/7 those are the cars

I saw it in ENY today, here's 3 options ether it Goes to 207th and sits or it goes directly to CI for SMS or it just stays at ENY for (J)/(Z) service or just to get ENY ready for that type of equipment if they wanted to remove the graffiti they would have sent the 4 cars, not 8 full cars, to be honest, I think thats ENY's train set and they were just keeping it on hold, 207th doesn't really need it they have more than enough, btw 4838/9 is back in running shape, saw it moving around ENY today and IT MOVED on its own power, i knew nothing was wrong with the train, people were too quick to say its a scrap train, obviously its not, just one of the surplus cars Ive heard the same for like 2 years, i know why they want to do this IF they do it

Kinda figuerd they were loaners, but ill be out there looking to get shots of these

I don't get these moves at all, but i knew the NG's were gonna go to ENY, ive said that 2 years ago, what I think what they are gonna wind up doing is giving all the 96 Nova's to MTA bus by the end of this year, most of them would go to LGA first to replace thier Bee-Line orion V's, BP has a chance of getting some RTS back as well, meaning Jamaica depot would ether get More NG's,RTS or get the OG's from CS or QV, ive seen OG's from QV being Maintained (mostlikely trainned) in jamaica depot numerous times so it wouldn't be a big shock, or even Orion V's (orion V's were at Jamaica depot before, Ive seen it for myself, They just never used them (they got sent back) , I know CS is gonna get more Artics in the fall because the MTA wants the Q44 100% Artics in the fall, and i know CS is not gonna give up most of its Orion V's so Jamaica might see something wierd as well as QV

NICE needs to go out of Business, Im sick of the bullshit, they always changing things, they should have lifted everything the same

3525 was from FR, 3523 is the only original BP hybrid besides 3766-83, to me that mileage crap is bullshit, these were well maintained buses and they were sent to a Garbage Dump and they gave us their garbage in return, i rode 3503 on the Q52 and the bus has missing pieces in the drivers area, its ashame how Basiley Park gets F(&cked over all the time, that swap was like 2006 when they took ALL of our good RTS and gavel us 8000's but watch those 3500's are gonna comeback once they are all tore up

Baisleys are good, But they need to go and to me it wasn't a good idea to buy a Orion V to replace 1994 TMC's that were in way better shape than these pieces of junk, Bee-line took care of these, the Streets of NYC tore them up, they need to go bottom line, RTS need to come back to BP ASAP or D6HF's (those are the top two replacements) as of this moment

so their RTS are gonna most likely head to LGA or BP to knock out their ex Bee Lines, those 6000's can make their way to JFK as well to bump some of their RTS off to LGA or BP, BP is short 2-3 buses

the SMS'ed R32's have a shinny truck with new motors, and for the Springs the 60' SMEEs only use the Black Springs, the Blue Springs are for the R46 and R68/A's only, the Yellow ones are for the R62/A's only

The CS arctics are at various depots because the themoking Nova LFSA's are having issues with their HVAC's like one person posted earlier, they are just there on loan, i saw 8866 on the Q17 this afternoon so 8866 is at Jamaica, orion V 5969 was on the Q60 earlier i got a pic of it

The R42's need work, too bad the TA does not want to SMS them, hopefully that would change, but they look really horrible

The R44's needed to go point blank, I rode em, they bodies were shot, the SIRT ones also need to go, Ive seen a picture of the R44's frame, It had NO FRAME LEFT due to rotting, the made the right choice sending the whole fleet bye-bye, as for the R42's its Unknown what they are gonna do with em, I keep hearing they want them gone by the time the R32 SMS is complete, To me that wouldn't be a smart move, if there is talk of extending the , unless that ideas is thrown out , if they need a train they would use a 10 car R32 or R42 for the and they would put a paper in the T/O cab stating this is a 10 CAR train until they lay it up after a round trip.

there are 2 R42's on the , better grab em, i heard ENY wants em back but ill wait and see

they swapped that set, they sent a bad set back to ENY and ENY sent another R42 set back to 207th, so yes theres 2 sets again

Do you ride the train on a daily basis, I know because when I used to ride the train during the day, service be jacked Up due TO EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS!!! , when they send 's to lefferts and Far Rock, thats because of a stalled train, back then the was 100% R46's, the R46's are overused trains, I ride the R46's on the and they run and should like shit, I ride the R46's on the (F)/® lines they run Much better, and Im always gonna say this the needs R160's , that power issue can be fixed, don't get me wrong sometimes the R32's have issues too on the but not as much as the R46's,if the had the R160's with R32's or R46's the wouldn't be a problem, ever since the R46's became a household on the they drop like flies, have dead motors and brake problems, so I'm telling you how i see this with my own two eyes and trust me plenty of people who work the line can agree, the R46's aren't doing well as everyone thought it would, it has nothing to do with me liking the R32's, People need to see the facts, The R32's have Always been more reliable than the R46's, the R46's have been though 2 Major SMS's already in 2003-04, and late 2008-2010, the R32's have had one Major SMS in 2001-04 (floor replacement, Truck work , HVAC work and etc.) SMS,2006-7 (truck work Phase I's only) and 2011-12 (truck and HVAC work as well as door work)

@ the subway station, the R32s are 10 time more reliable than the R46s, even before the SMS they ran better than the R46s, the R46s are overused subway cars, the ones at jamaica perform better than the ones on the A, before the R32s made its return to the A the A always had equipment problems, this is why I think they should have fixed that problem and put the R160s on the A, the R46s are better for the C due to the fact they don't run as much, the R46s don't do well on the A, they run like shit, last year in the summertime they ran 6-8 R32s during the overnight hours, this year I counted 3-4 during the overnight, it is what it is, so instead of being mr know it all, listen to the facts on why I just said what I said

The R46's run like shit on the , the R46's are unreliable and overused, thats why they have had problems, ever since the R32's popped up on the the has been much better, and the is better with the R46's, BTW ANOTHER R42 was sent BACK to ENY, that Leaves 1 Trainset

Spring Creek is gonna loose all of its Hybirds to LGA, JFK, FR and maybe BP, JFK just got like 4 Hybirds from SC, so the More Orion V's go to SC, the More Hybirds go to those depots i mentioned above not to mention the 3G Orions should be coming soon

10 R42's went back to ENY, saw it last night back at ENY yard

Orion V 175 will be heading to Eastchester scrap, I saw it in BP lot with parts missing, i wonder whats gonna replace it

This has been Mentioned by numerous people especially ones who work or used to work (just retired) in the TA Numerous times, the main reason why they want this to happen (I'm against it, i find it stupid) because one 207th st barn can't hold a full 600" foot train (10 cars), 240th st Barn has to close due to its structure failure (its gonna be torn down) so the new housing shop for the would be 207th st barn, pitkin yard will house all the (A)/© equipment 207th will only be available to store the B division equipment, not shop or maintain them, its obvious 207th st gonna be a strictly A division barn

the don't know shit, bottom line, they don't care what runs on what line, the NYCTA RTO division of Car Equipment and rolling Stock and Yard Supervisors make those choices on what goes where, CI has a New Fleet, thats one major reason why they are no R32's on the , CI would be the best choice for the R32's because its a Main shop, they take good care of their equipment, doesn't matter what it is, 207th lost a lot of people who fix these trains, in about a year or so, 207th st yard will be for the and MOW equipment, everything will come out of pitkin yard, and I doubt they would want R32's, so down the line something will change due to 207th st being an entirely IRT yard, The (A)/© will only store their trains there, the 240th st barn on the will come down

Last Year they ran more R32's than R46's at night, The R32's breakdown less than the R46's, I've been on the R42 at night, no problem at all, those trains need to run, once they run they get all the running time they can get, the R46's need rest, those are the only subway cars that are overused since its debut in 1977, don't be shocked if you see an R32 on the sooner than later, it might happen before we know it, but I'm just gonna relax and enjoy the summer and wait and see

Not really, the uses 144 out of 222 R32's during the off summer months, 14 train sets total, all ENY is gonna need is 40 R32's the would still have spares and yes they run both the R32's and R42's overnight and all day on the , I've seen it for myself while taking the line at night

Yep my point taken, for One, the R46's 64 of them will go to SI 6170 and Up, that would be like 80 60 footers, then you have the 2nd ave subway that would be an additional 7-8 train sets, then you have the return of the so add all that up and see what this order is gonna replace, the R42's won't most likely be here when the r179's come, to me this is gonna be another R143 like order
