Pu3rToRoCk8947 0 #8 Posted September 14, 2009 I also remember years ago before the made it's debut on the West End Line and the rebuilding of the R32's,the old West End Line service operated R32's.I would say early 80's at best and the old unrebuilt R32's had the interior powder blue seats,hand grabs,orange painted doors and the exterior doors were dark blue.I hope to catch that R32 ( train on the Brighton Line soon before it disappears off into the sunset.

R32 3838 1,514 #13 Posted September 14, 2009 Im not surprized at this one, There were rumours about CI getting R32's back for Extra (B)/(Q) service along the Brighton, The last 20 R32's will go to 207th st for 10 car service in the upcoming weeks, You might get only 1 set of R32's on the or until those trainsets get tranfered to 207th st yard. I was not out so I just found this one out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Vandelay 783 #20 Posted September 15, 2009 The B needed 2 more trains now that it is local on the Brighton. That is why these were sent over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R32 3348 10 #21 Posted September 15, 2009 How many sets is it? I heard 2 from Jamaica and 1 from 207, but am inclined to believe that it's just 2 sets from Jamaica (unless the 207 sets are spares). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattTrain 3,099 #22 Posted September 15, 2009 R68 and R68As on the are good enough. If I see one though tomorrow, I'm snapping a photo of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Concourse 2,690 #25 Posted September 15, 2009 This is great news about R32's back on the B again. Sure kicked out of Jamaica, but better than to be preped for the ocean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
