  1. Again, absolutely not. These people are being HARASSED and that's insane.

     

    If the NYPD is legit investigating these dumba*s foamers and they're getting what they deserve from them and them alone, great. The NYPD and MTA did their job and took care of the people who committed a crime against their property. The railfans should absolutely get in touch with these foamers privately and if they want to go as far as to meet up somewhere and confront them, that's all good. But posting sh*t about them on public sites and narcing on them is going too far.

     

    They deserve every shit they're getting for screwing up that run on Saturday in the first place. You think it's fair to kick, push, and shove others on the train? Keep in mind, non- transit fans were victimized too in that mayhem and people could of gotten hurt. The hell outta here with that bullshit.

  2. I'm starting to feel that this is getting way too crazy. And I'm also well prepared for the sh*t I'm gonna get from some people for saying this, don't care.

     

    I've heard from some people (I'm not on FB and I was barely on the train that day not even up front, I barely know anything about what happened to begin with) that the people who have the warrants out were basically snitched on by the other railfans. They include the guy in the back car, the trainsurfer, and the guy who broke the rollsign. The NYPD did launch some investigations yes because of reports at the time by the train crews, but a lot of it was because railfans who knew these foamers snitched on them. The "honest concerned goody 2 shoes" folks gave out the identities of these people to the police (if not directly, then by publicly shaming them on several public websites as I'm about to say) and the world on FB and I believe there have been some posts on Subchat too exposing them. Some people (including the guys who posted the video of the trainsurfer not knowing the implications of doing so) were harassed to the point of cyber bullying, by "honest caring railfans". That's outright NARCING and taking it too far. Yes, they're f*cking with TA property, no I don't condone it and neither should you, but now you have railfans narcing on other railfans/foamers and to me, that's like these "concerned citizens" who don't mind their own business and narc on people they see doing sh*t like smoking pot, throwing parties, vandalizing property. Again, you have every right and in a lot of cases good reason (including what happened on the 32s) to be angry with these people, but mind your own damn business and let the officials do their investigating. You being a concerned citizen/narc gets you nowhere, and narcing like that usually ends up with the narcs getting f*cked up by the people they narced on and their crew. Of course a lot of these railfans/foamers are fake and too pussy to go out and fight like that, but remember these foamers are already doing illegal sh*t for popularity, and I'm sure some of them at least wouldn't be afraid to go f*ck up the narcs. This stuff is gonna lead to more drama down the road and it ain't gonna be pretty.

     

    I just wanna say again, I'm not saying anything that went down on those 32s was right. I'm not defending the idiot foamers who did stupid sh*t and give good railfans a bad name. But it isn't my place or anyone else's unless you work for the NYPD or NYCT to (directly or indirectly) narc on others to the police, and it's especially not their place to harass people like that. Let the officials do their job and move on with yourselves. If you have a problem with something other people did take it up with them in person., whether that's a private chat or talking IRL. Publicly shaming them and narcing on them makes you look like the weaker person. If they're being investigated by the law then let the law and the law only do the investigating.

     

    So you're pretty much defending the actions of what happened on Saturday by that logic. So it's okay if they make us look bad and it's okay if other transit systems across the country get the same idea that transit fans can't be trusted. That's what you're basically trying to tell me and everyone else on this site.

  3. It's the overall lack of principles being set and morals being forgotten that caused the fallout on the (R) yesterday, MHV. This has nothing to do with users being self righteous. They're just telling certain fans they need to conduct themselves better when it comes to events and fantrips.

  4. I'm telling everyone right now and I've already mentioned this here.

    and on the chat.

     

    There are a number of fans (and they know who they are), who don't give a ratass about this hobby. They don't care about the people who work their ass off to transport passengers throughout this system or the MTA itself.

     

    They're simply using this hobby as a popularity contest and nothing more. They will do whatever it takes to get that one shot or video, even if it kills them or they have to fight for it. I'm still speechless and disgusted over what I heard yesterday. 

  5. It didn't work that well in locomotives or Fairbanks would of been a major player after WW2.  In stationary design it can't be beat but variable throttle they don't hold up.

     

    Yeah, they had issues. They were also ahead of their time when it came to higher horsepower diesels. 

  6. This...

     

    ...about 5 different car classes painted the same red color (and were more or less the same exact thing inside and out) and no one complains, but good heavens the NTTs look the same and everyone catches bitch fits

     

    We also had 1150 R62/62A cars that ran along side with those Redbirds. No one complained about those either. Some members (and they know who they are, so they can't give me that load of crap) are also complaining about getting the very cars that debuted on the (6). I find that funny. Most people really don't care what train runs on that line. Just as long as it gets them from point A to point B.

  7. Why yall getting all mad? I just said something and yall making a whole scene about it. Damn can we all just get along.

     

    Getting along is something that's optional for some when it comes to this hobby, sadly. 

  8. You guys are hilarious. We have a bulletin for doing vibration testing on the R32 (R) for Apr 12-13, for which TWO sets will be used. All of a sudden, we have speculation about the R32's running during the week, on both the (E) and (R) , and the (C) using R46s. What else can we throw in the rumor mill?

     

    Since that's the case, someone really fooled everyone here into believing R32s would actually run on the (E) and (R) . Didn't know about rumors being spread about R46s on the (C) .
