the R62a's are still working good:):tup:.

What he basically suggested is for the system to stop improving, to stop ordering new cars. I'm all for maintaining both new and old cars properly, but eventually everything has to be replaced no matter how well it's maintained. Yes, 40 years should be the limit!

I go with you for saying 40 years should be the limit. 50 years would be fine too! (if the R62a's still works good). and when it retires, it retired. i have no clue if the R62a subway car will be in the transit museum or corona yard in the future. but i have to say that the R62a's are the best subways on the

line just like the R36WF's redbirds.

The 7 line is at capacity and needs the new cars for CBTC ASAP. They cant afford to leave the R62's there for 3 or 4 more dedades. They need to run 7 trains every minute, and that can't be done without NTT's.

at least 20 years my opinion:rock:

I think the R62a should stay on the line for 30 or 40 more years:). it's a really good subway train and it's safe enough to ride. the should really stop ordering newer cars (it's a waste of money). remember how the ordered alot of R160's, well was losing money so bad, that they lost the and and had to force the employees to stop working for a long while in order to save money. so let the subway run and if it retire's, they should rebuilt it:rock:.

"Know one messes with the R62a"

I wish the R32's were on the again

man, i loved to see the r142's and the r188's, but i don't love to see the

r62a's retire on the . what i would love to see is the r36wf going back on the . because it will be the 50th anniversity for the r11,r32, r33wf, and r36wf, and redbirds.(NYCT) old styles,

(7)'s the best
