207th Yard Car Wash is out of service

Maybe it ran express from Utica to Euclid?

When M/K got the cars to be GOH'ed, some cars needed more work than others. So, if one car of a set was finished and the other wasn't, rather than hold the completed car, they mated it with another car whose natural mate was not finished also. So, we wound up mis-mates. Additional mis-mates off the top of my head are 3444/3777, 3445/3468. There are many, many more. The complete list of mis-mates are in the Retired/R32 section in the following website: "nycsubway.org."

Now what?

It's all show at these busy high profile Manhattan stations. No "customer" is going to mess around with THEM! But ain't happening at these low profile stations on the outskirts of the system and in high crime neighborhoods. There will be lots of "customers" who won't pay, who won't want to, who claim they have no money, despite some of them dressed in expensive clothes, jewelry, shoes, and the skells who they just want to get rid of. 2 cops at a station "making sure" everybody pays simply isn't happening. Why? Because the cops want to go home to their family at the end of the day. Can you blame them? how would you handle it if YOU were the cop? Look at PO Diller who got killed the other night. Just going up to some dudes blocking a bus stop, with the intent of getting them out of there. Now he's dead.

No. The operators at College Point do whatever they want. It's a total lack of supervision.

The worst performing ones, no matter which yard they are assigned to, will be retired first. On this board we have no way of knowing if the ones recently transferred to CIYD, right now presumably to increase the spare factor, are good performers or bad performers. A good performer today, can very well become a horrible performer next week/month because they are all old and tired cars. Which sets will be the first ones to be retired are made by the suits downtown. I wish you guys would hop on the R46 train and enjoy the ride, rather than always wanting to be the first guys to find out the order of retirements............whenever that starts to happen.

Not 154 (thats an R44), but 1054.

I'm waiting to hear who the first person will be who complains that he didn't get his final pictures of these OG's.

Technically that's Stillwell Yard. And it looks like it's amongst the work trains, so maybe something is planned for those cars. A clue would be the day "SimplyMyself" saw them and took the video vs, the day "zackster" saw them last week.

IDK. But I do remember 402.

Wasn't 402 the car that hit and pushed the bumper block toward the drink at Tottenville some years ago? If so, that car is off the property to my knowledge.

You're not getting that because the propulsion today are AC motors. "Classic Propulsion" are DC motors. AC motors are more dependable.

Who said? Since the "coneheads" are new buses, procedures can change.

It's not necessary to list transfers between JFK & FR because they share the same fleet and are listed as one depot on all Bus Rosters.
