Maserati7200 Posted August 11, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2009 If you were in charge of the the subway roster what equipment would you put where? The only condition: be realistic, lol. I'm really curious to what people would do. Personally, I would put R32's on the and R46's on the . And I'd put back some of the (V)'s R32's on the . P.S. I'm not sure if this should go in the fantasy forum or not, but I think not so I put it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted August 11, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2009 If I were In charge. Ill take over all Redbirds thats in work service and put em in Service B) on the . I would move some of the R62As on the to the and use some of the (4)s R142As on the while the goes 100% R142. can share R62s/R62As B Div: Split the R32s from the and R160s on the and make them all R32s/R160s ( back with R40, I so hate the R68 (B)s!!! [Tho since the R40As are gone, maybe take it off the and put em on the ( while the runs R68s The SIR, make it 100% R160 with the later option orders! [bTW this is just fantasy, nothing real, so any comments against mine, plz dont comment] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted August 11, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 11, 2009 I like the (SIR) idea. Keep the R142As The and would swap fleets Have some R32s replace ENY's R42 until the next R160A-1 order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R160 is a B-Division train car and cannot be run on A-Division trackage. Therefore, your and 42-Street need to be reorganized. Conversely, the R62 is an A-Division car, and cannot run for service (unless you want to cross a mammoth gap between the platform and the car!) Also, some of your line assignments would most likely not work due to the number of a certain type available and the actual number needed for all of the lines being served. For example, you have the R142 serving the , , and services. That isn't counting the aforementioned service error. There just aren't enough cars of that type to effectively run during rush hour on all of those services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1991 Posted August 11, 2009 Share #14 Posted August 11, 2009 For me, I'd switch the & (4)s fleets, I'd have to keep the (2)/(5) fleets the same so that the cars can still be switched. I'd switch the and (7)s fleets to see how the R62As with the circle/diamond work on Pelham, and the R142As on Corona. For the B Division, I'd switch the R44s back to Coney Island, and put the R68s at Pitkin/207th, hopefully making full-length trains in the process. I'd also switch the R68s at Concourse with some of the R46s at Jamaica. Let's see how they fare on other parts of the system. But that's just me up there.

For me, I'd switch the & (4)s fleets, I'd have to keep the (2)/(5) fleets the same so that the cars can still be switched.

I wouldnt think train riders would like to get demoted to R44s, those cars are in terrible shape. For me, I would honestly split the & lines fleet instead of a complete switch. Have both lines share the cars. I like some diversity and that would totally show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcconnell Posted August 12, 2009 Share #25 Posted August 12, 2009 I wouldn't do much to change the current fleet, but I've got a few ideas: When all R160s are delivered, make the completely R160 and move the surplus R46s to Pitkin for use on the and the lengthened consists. Then, move all of Pitkin's R32s to Jamaica and run them on the and until retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
