LRG Posted October 4, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 4, 2009 I hope it's not going to scrap, then that would be REALLY bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North-Eastern T/O Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted October 4, 2009 I hope it's not going to scrap, then that would be REALLY bad! I would hate to say it, but I think they might.

R44 5278 Posted October 4, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 4, 2009 For one thing all the R40 roofs are heavily covered with duct tape, which in most cases aren't waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted October 4, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 4, 2009 Tunnels provided more waterprooing towards the end than the roofs sadly, cabs must be a mess and electrical fugedaboudit. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn another R40 slant gone, They should use R32's for school cars, They would not have to worry about the leaking part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is would their doors and A/C actually work most of the time? I mean the R40s does have the best A/C among all the fleets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted October 4, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 4, 2009 For one thing all the R40 roofs are heavily covered with duct tape, which in most cases aren't waterproof. That is not duct tape that is bonding tape, it is much more substantial than duct tape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted October 4, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 4, 2009 They should have put them in a shed or something. Leaving it exposed to the elements would do a great amount of damage to the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman Posted October 4, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 4, 2009 Listen, when they gotta go, they gotta go. No need having to keep two cars around if you're gonna have to keep covering them with bondo all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted October 4, 2009 Share #11 Posted October 4, 2009 I would hate to say it, but I think they might. From what I heard they were leaking badly and school car could not use them most of the time becouse of this. So then it becomes a question of why were thes selected in the first place? Didn't anybody check that these were leakers prior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAA89 Posted October 4, 2009 Share #14 Posted October 4, 2009 I knew LRG would cry over this, but I agree with Zman. 41 years is long enough for a subway car to last, in any capacity (revenue service, school car etc). Its about time the slants get to rest in peace and become a home for the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
