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. I did not call you an idiot, I was saying it was not sure of you were being one, though based on my experience, many TA workers are idiots, especially those who yell at us for videotaping or photographing!

That announcement does not really increase dwell time because the Lexington Avenue Line is so packed, it takes a while for everyone to get on or off the train. Usually from my experiences at Hunter College, the announcement finishes playing even before boarding and disembarking is done. The only exception is 59th Street because of the "A free transfer is also available to the train by walking to the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station and using your MetroCard" announcement, which I find lame. If the R62As return to the , your supervisors might make you manually say "This is a Pelham Bay Park-bound 6 train making express stops in the Bronx," which I'm sure you don't want. Nonetheless, this announcement is much better than confusing riders with "This is a Bronx-bound 6 express train," which makes them think the train is running express in Manhattan. The R42s are being retired with the R32s. In fact, they will probably retire before 2015 since they are only 48 of those shit cans at ENY while 222 veterans remain at 207th Street. No matter which service the R62As go to, they will probably not have a RFW unless they go back to the using nine cars like I suggested.

I hope the R62As do not return to the . The weekday afternoon has my favorite NTT announcement ("This is a Pelham Bay Park-bound 6 train making express stops in the Bronx") I doubt the will have a similar announcement when it uses the R188s since it has such a short route. riders will not be pleased to see old cars on their service as it will greatly downgrade it (just like how the suffered the biggest downgrade in history when it switched from R32s to R42s or when the and switched from R68/68As to R40s). Why else was the the first train to get the R142As? It is because Pelham riders wanted them and I remember how happy everyone was when the R142s debuted on that train 12 years ago. I am going to laugh if ridership on the drops or Pelham residents write petitions demanding the NTTs go back on their train (I remember seeing a couple of petitions from riders demanding that the MTA give it new cars, but they all been deleted because that cannot be done as riders on the services that the R160s run on all love them). The R62s should return to the because it had always used those cars and was the last train to be 100% NTTs, so I am sure Jerome Avenue riders will not mind riding a car type that they rode on all the time years ago. In fact, the 's R62As should go on the (making it nine cars like it was before the R142/142As arrived), send its R62s and any spare R62As to the , and put the R142/142As from Jerome Avenue to the . Another good idea is to send all Corona R62As to the instead so that it would be easier to distinguish it from the and . It is funny how people run up or down the stairs thinking their train is in the statin when it really is not (i.e. they need to the or when a shows up or vice-versa) and it is stupid for the and to share cars because of the strip maps. Riders get annoyed when they are need to look at a strip map and the one on the train is that of the route it is running on. Pelham riders would not care if the is 100% R142s or 100% R142As as long as they have new cars.

I agree with your signature. R68s used to be great, but now they suck. Since May, I have been late to school nine times because the
train in front of my 
train broke down. I removed them from my list of favorite subway cars recently. Hope (NYCT) does the right send and swaps some the R68/68As on the with the R32s on the 
. It would be a huge upgrade for all three times. -
nice R46 sign you made for Luis1985. too bad they will never run on the
as they are banned from the Brighton Line. -
yeah, Wikipedia has been trashed a lot since those summer service cuts and car assignment changes went into affect.
-
you learned quite a lot about contributing to Wikipedia in such a short amount of time.

looks like someone hacked into this account. Art Vandelay's most recent post makes no sense what-so-ever!
-
yeah, but so far it has been really hectic to get to school. i am almost always late because the B train has last priority at the DeKalb Avenue and 59th Street junctions.

i just edited my post on the Manhattan Bridge service disruption thread to reply to your post. read it if you want.

good morning! enjoy your columbus day weekend. i am going to shop for boots later today and start wearing them on tuesday.
-
u are right, and right now, i refuse to believe R160s going on the
and 
or R32s going on the 
until they actually happen, though R32s to ENY would be a good thing. -
right now, i am too busy with school to hang out. hopefully, things will lessen in november and december. i decided to take a few videos of the Brighton Line renovation project whenever i can. i also want to get a video of an R46 C when that happens, but other than that, im done with railfanning unless big car assignments come in the future.

we might have saw each other this morning and not even know it. i was on the fifth car of the R32 B train you took pictures of this morning on my way to school.
