The L will remain to be R143s and R160s. They are the only cars capable of running on the L, and there is no good reason to move them from the L. R179s will not be CBTC equipped upon delivery.

 

Excuse me do you work down here? I talk to supervisors and superintendents who tell me what discussions have been going on about the equipment.

the R42 is still on the saw it at 111th st middle track an hour ago, i have picture proof

 

I seen it Tuesday, North motor was 4210

Also got the word this weekend the 32's will be back on the

I'm telling you, Don't be suprised to see 143's to the The is a hot line, full of trendy starbucks drinking MAC book having hippies. They will cater to them before the poor

The 68A is like MTA's babies. 68's first to the or before the 68A. I've worked some 68A's that look like they just came out the factory.

68A on the would be a nice change.

I'm hearing friday night, so lets see what Monday brings. Its already getting a little chilly.

IDK if Dan05979 was being serious, sarcastic, or an idiot, but what he said would be the absolute worst thing to happen for the . Sea Beach and Astoria riders would be super mad to see their awesome, beloved R160s replaced with junky old R46s (they look ugly there anyway), though I am sure a couple of people I know who wished the and looked like a certain fatso at my school would love this. The was the first train to get the R160s for a reason: it ranked worst in the State of the Subways Report Card for three straight years. The also got them for this reason, leaving whiney Brighton riders with only 25% R160s until it was discontinued. The "big event" of the weekend is the bus festival in Downtown Brooklyn, which I am sure will be chaotic with all you railfans fighting over stupid things.

 

Back to this topic of the , I hope the swap is permanent because R46s look better on the and R32s look better on the . The R46s are also fatter, slower, and have more problems than the R32s, so they should run on the part-time local.

 

Watch who the fvck your calling an idiot homey.

I think this weekend is the "big swap" R-160's to the and 46's to the

I got the letter to come in for the drug test for T/0! Yes! MTA here I come! 4 years of waiting and having no life are over!

 

hahahaha having no life just started buddy. I can't wait to see how many open people resign or get thrown out now. Keep it moving.

Ehh.....

The promotional list for Train Operator has been exhausted. We are hiring 40 T/Os on 10/22; 40 T/Os on 11/12 and 40 T/Os on 12/3. they have to be coming from somewhere. Therefore, the open-competitive list has not been terminated. The people at the top of the list should be getting called for medicals any day now. Along with this , we are also hiring 10 C/Rs on 9/24; 20 C/Rs on 10/8; 20 C/Rs on 11/12; 20 C/Rs on 12/3; 12 ATDs on 10/1 and 10 TSSs on 10/1. Divisions will be announced for all hourly positions on the Tuesday AFTER hiring. This will be the only time I will put this out, so if you need to know, copy this post to somewhere you can find it. You may now all go back to your rumor-mongering.

 

RIGHT out of the Schoolcar Horses Mouth!

 

Hmmm....Who wrote that!

My check was never messed up.

I have a family friend that is a train operator and he told me today, they have already called off the OC list. He let me know around 16 people that he knows went back to being conductors and they are notifying TO's over the radio that they have, he used some abbreviation but I think he means overtime, available everyday. He said they need TO's. When I called a 347 number today, the lady that answered told me they haven't called off the list yet and she didn't know if the recording was correct or not. My friend was very sure they have called a class from the OC list already. He will let me know more when he goes back to work after his 2 days off.

 

NO ONE FROM THE OPEN LIST HAS BEEN CALLED YET

I have to wait untill June 2013 to upgrade my phone! Why!!!!!!!!! I'm not paying close to $900 quid to buy a 64 gig one. I'll wait.

Speaking of which, what was the reason for the swaps anyway? As I understand it, the being fully underground, the compressors on the R32s overheated and the A/C shut down.

 

But, technically, the cars do go outside, when they go to 207th Street yard. Is that not enough time for the compressors? The spends a significantly large portion indoors anyway...

 

Lights and air comfort are supposed to be shut down when layed up at a yard. But most of the trains get layed up at the underground yard after 168 and at Euclid.

I'm liking that Nikon D600 coming soon...A lesser model to the D800 and somewhat more affordable, or should I just get a D7000 kit for $1200

And where are the extra cars coming from for the ? The OOS R32s lurking around the system or R46s out of JAM?

 

If this happens.

Don't know. Maybe the Jamy 46's will stay on the or . I operated in a 5500 series 46 yesterday on the Very clean car, well the one I was in.

Si

I don't know if this was discussed but I heard today Next year will be the last swap, in other words all 32's to the

Just orderd my apple iPhone 5 case from otterbox, can't wait!

Quite frankly, I'm sick of ALL these trains. 32, 42, 68, 68a, 46, 143 & 160 all have there own problems.

2 More weeks before they swap is what I heard from a dispatcher. BTW this R-42 had roaches at the C/R's position. I wanted to throw up, I wanted to take it out of service but I just wanted to get back to 207 and go home

I can imagine...standing all the way from 207-Far Rock = no fun

 

Maybe they need to bring back the R-10's and have you guys work from in between the cars

 

Hey I really can't complain because back in the olden days befor transverse cabs it was all standing, heat and aggrivation for the crew.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, it's for the transit museum.

 

I never wear panties.

oh hell no, I want em back on the already, i want the 8 car train back lol

 

 

So does everyone one the

I'm hearing 32's might be on the for a while longer, I hope its not true, I'm working the on sunday I'll be asking.....
