Off topic, but does anyone know what happened to R32s 3370-3371, 3630-3631, 3786-3787 and 3836-3837? I heard rumors that they were returning to service.

Was Ulmer Park supposed to get D4500CL's from Charleston because I saw #4324 with Ulmer Park decals. It was still operating on the X17J anyway. Here is the picture:
I see text, no MCI lol.

Anyone know why R142As 7481-7485 are testing on the Dyre Ave Line?

7816-7821 & 7827-7854 are either still in the 207 shop building or E180 St yard building, this is my guess/opinion.
I think only up to 7832 will get onto property, and 7833-7898 will be delivered in late 2013 to early 2014.

Just a random thought/proposal like the thread says, but I was wondering if it would be possible to run subway service on the Atlantic Avenue and Far Roackaway Branches and create a direct subway connection to the future 2nd Ave. Subway at Hanover Sq. via a new tunnel...

3726/7 is roaming around with the
posters still up (and the sign that still says B 90 St -to- Mott Av).Any word at all that the swap is happening this year?
Maybe they failed to remove the signs lol.

Why is it taking them so long to deliver the last bus of the order? It should of ended back in december 2011.
Maybe the engine has continuous problems, and if I remember, was replaced like once or twice (and maybe even thrice).

I thought CBTC will go everywhere eventually soon. Aren't the R160s on the
, 
, 
, 
and 
gonna be CBTC compatible? I would also like to include the other NTT fleets (R142/142A).They could, but it's too much work.
Two things:1) Just like R179s going to the
, can someone explain the logic of them going to Jamaica? By the time that the 5 car sets of 179s arrive, Phase I SAS should be almost done. Therefore like always specified.2) I'm confident that the R211 will be CBTC compatible. BUT. That would mean giving the
and lines R160s.EDIT: I thought about it and, point 2 ACTUALLY makes sense as it would, for the most part, simplify maintanence as Pitkin would be all NTT.
I was thinking that R68s and R68As might go on the
and Rockaway 
; the is the old line fleet as far as I remember...0 -
yo dead ass, i just posted that as my status, and you just reported it LOL!

I'm waiting for someone to explain the logic in the R179s going to the.
Keep waiting, cuz there is none lol.
I think that the R179 4-car sets will be split between the
and the Eastern Division Lines ( 
/ / 
and maybe 
) while the R179 5-car sets go to Jamaica ; they were talking about QBL CBTC and how new trains would have them...0 -

Apparently some MTA PDF file says December 2014 for the test train, but I could be wrong.

They probably won't be until late 2013-early 2014... and they won't even reach property until around 2 years later

I do remember rumors of the 8 inactive R32s being prepped for service again, and some of them are even back. But yeah, I do wonder why the 10 work cars were restricted to such service...
