R32 3348 Posted June 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2009 The R42/R40 trains are having the R40s taken out. Other R42s are just being put into storage, I would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapid Transit TO Posted June 17, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 17, 2009 During construction/service changes, when your line doesn't run, like the on weekends, you get assigned to cover other lines, not a day off... From what I heard, re-assigned line train operators who got assigned to the for weekend service weren't R160 qualified, and caused a nightmare for supervision.. Afterwards, more SMEE's were put in service on weekends to ease the problem.. Hence the good assortment of equipment running the .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North-Eastern T/O Posted June 18, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 18, 2009 I never get reassigned to the line on the weekends. Most of the time a ether get yard switching or Station switching. As a matter of fact crews have not be reassigned over the last 6 weeks or so. We have been put on the Supplements taking the crews that are going to Far Rock off and EUC to take the trains in for them. Then we take them back to EUC and give them up to the Crews again were they take them uptown. I love these Supplements as a Saturday T/O becouse it make my job ALOT better then 3 full trips on the .

Q43 Floral Park Posted June 18, 2009 Share #10 Posted June 18, 2009 The R42/R40 trains are having the R40s taken out. Other R42s are just being put into storage, I would assume. Huh? The R160s bumped the R46s to Pitkin to retire the Slants. None of the Jamaica R42s replaced the Slants. I assume that with Pitkin having enough R46s to take out the Slants, The rest of R160's will bump Jamaica's r42s to the ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that with Pitkin having enough R46s to take out the Slants, The rest of R160's will bump Jamaica's r42s to the ocean What I meant to say was, the R42 sets that run on the run with both R40s and R42s in each train. Those R40s are slowly being taken out of each train to make solid trains of R42s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
