  1. Caught boith blue and white R160s on the (N) today.

     

    Nice! I'm still looking forward for a time to put some 68s on the (N) !

     

    Well the R is turning at 57/7 so turning the Q there would cause more congestion. And with the QBL mess it would make sense to send the Q to Astoria to help the N and 7

     

    Well that is true. If that's the case, extra trains should be provided to increase service reliability. 

  2. Yeah true. I think (not sure) that timer in that location is to prevent station overruns at New Uterect/62nd on the (D) since the platforms can barely accommodate a 10 car 60' set or a 8 car 75' set. I think thats why they got that timer there. Its a tight squeeze for the T/O in terms of timing the apply of brake correctly from 40 MPH to the 8/10 car marker if going West End express in the case of the (N) GO or in general.

     

    That, and the speed. The express S/B can reach as high as 46mph at 55th St! Imagine, as it continues, it'll enter the 62nd St station at like around 50mph. As a result, train shakes, and the door panel will scrape the platform edge. 

     

    Arriving to the station in 50mph, that's going to be hard for the T/Os to brake!

  3. Next fanning mission: (N) Express via West End weekend GO (pending). Over and out.

     

    I'm also looking for that, but in my opinion, the express S/B is better for speed, but problem is that a grade timer (30) before 62nd St and Bay Parkway makes it slower for the trains to enter the station.

  4. The ENTIRE R142A fleet is going to be converted to R188s,  The R142's will have FIND displays installed.  As for where the displaced R62A's will be going, watch for some interesting fleet assignments over the next few years.  Eventually, I see all lines except the 2 and 5 running mixed fleets of NTT's and R62/62A's.  The 62/62A fleet should be rebuilt with AC propulsion, digital signs, automatic announcements, and CBTC capabilities.  I'd also like to see the entire subway fleet made FRA compliant.

     

    Ok, smart one...

     

    *sarcasm*

     

    I've seen worse.

     

    Wallyhorse with his around -15 downvotes on a thread he started with a bunch of proposals I believe.

  5. Okay a**hole, now you're trolling. You're no better than the foamers thinking there is still an R32 (G) out there. Actually scratch that! There is... oh f**k, it's a R32 with the garbage train. Yeah, you troll.

     

    And Happy Boxing Day!

     

    Happy Boxing Day!

     

    And this is me when I don't get enough sleep.... and is crazy.. lmao

  6. Shut it, I make bank. Huge bank. I made the holiday for hundreds of people in the porn industry this year. How about you?

     

    Really? I thought you manufacture over a million dildos a day, operates 24/7 , and machines were sped within 69mph from 66mph.. THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE NOW!!!

     

    I'm just awesome and eating Warheads right now!

  7. Horrible, just horrible.

     

    For your trouble you'll find better mobile porn in Playboy and Maxim. Just ask for the black bags at Newsday.

     

    Porn isn't my interest, but I know it's yours..

     

    It ain't going to solve anything man! 

     

    @Realizm: OHMYGOD. LMAO

  8. IF you guys can get a good T/O on the (N)

     

    before entering New Utrecht Av N/B, the train can hit on the curve around 35+ on MAX PWR.

    before entering New Utrecht Av S/B, the train can hit on the curve through GTs at 42mph on MAX PWR (no braking). Explains why GTs there are useless.
