mark1447 Posted July 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2009 Seeing that the is already getting R40M/R42s and now R32s. Since it has(or had) R46, doesn't it swap cars with the over at 71st? Similar to the at Flatbush.. which swaps with Revenue142s Middays and Rush Hours. If it does swaps , now how can it with the R40M/R42s, if the R46s were used... Maybe it should stood with the Revenue46s? Im happy about it seeing new(Old) cars, but still improving service can be difficult now. Unless im wrong..

R44 5278 Posted July 2, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 2, 2009 Wait, seriously? I thought that the V was made to be all R46 so it won't be a hassle in sharing fleet with the F. Either way, the T/A is finally making sense in putting old equipment on a part time line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted July 2, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 2, 2009 I think the is 100% R160 now, and the will be R160/R46 with a scattered R32 (Henry saw one today). The will also see R42s during the rush but the is now Jamaica's SMEE line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quick b/c the first trains that I saw at Canal St on Tues. morning was an R40M/R42 E train. I also saw another one at Queens Plaza also designated for the E on that morning to Queens. Thank god I missed that first R40M/R42 b/c I boarded an R160A just minutes afterwards. Unfortunately, it had a broken FIND system just like other R160As.

LRG Posted July 2, 2009 Share #16 Posted July 2, 2009 Guys, just because the is part-time does not mean anything. The has R160s, as the does. The ( has R68s, like the does and sometimes the . So the face that the is part-time and uses old equipment is not fully justifiable. Nevertheless, I can't wait to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted July 2, 2009 Share #17 Posted July 2, 2009 If the is really becoming all SMEE's, perhaps, the TA is looking to preserve the cars longer than expected. Preserve, meaning, run them on a Part-time route, as well as, an all underground route.. You never know with the TA... If they feel, that they might need to hang to these cars a bit longer than anticipated, than perhaps, saving the need for them to run on an outside / elevated route(s), this is their way of trying to preserve these cars... Underground only.... Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, you mean R142s, not Revenue142s...R is just a prefix added to Rapid Transit stock. Anyway, about your question, yes the two fleets used to swap cars and now they won't be able to. However, as the gets more R160s it will bump R46s to the to replace the R40s/R42s and the will eventually be all R46 again (by the end of the year by my estimate). Nope Saw an R40M on the , The is not 100% R160 yet. SWEET! Thanks for the info, I need to get my last ride ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
