Will the (5)s run off Jerome during that weekend or will the Union Port R142s be on the from 149th to manhattan? If its (4)Jerome, I hope I catch an R142A on it!

MattTrain Posted October 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2009 This is a cool G.O. A R142A on the would be nice. Do you like the the R142A's better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted October 8, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2009 I love that G.O!!! A few times in the past, the did use R142A's for that G.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted October 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 8, 2009 HIGH possiblity. It would be impossible to ship over R142s all the way from Unionport because it would be stopping up trains. They usually borrow Jerome R142 and R142As. Since the uses 40% R142A there is no doubt in my mind the will have A here or there. Matter of fact, they use more R142As while the sticks with R142s. Also i think at around 5 PM there is a set to go all the way up to Bedford Park Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted October 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 9, 2009 I will be on that G.O Sunday, so I will find out then. The has very few R142A's now. For some reason it is predominately R142 Bombs now. I rarely see the Junkasakis on there now, with their high dead motor, and due to dead motors, high squealing brake rate.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw like 6 sets R142As during todays Lo-V Special from 167th and 59th St.. What R142s are replacing them then if there are limited R142As? The line's R142As are probaly going though SMS, there six years old and subway cars go though SMS like every six years so thats what probaly happend to them. If the is doing SMS on the R142A then thats shocking news for the R142 originals! They are MUCH dirty compared to the R142As.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted October 10, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 10, 2009 But they run smoother then the R142A. but they are slower going downtown from 86st to 59st cause they hop up and down more. All i like about the R142 is the Roaring noise when slowing down and the smoothness and hissing sounds. But i think the R142 are a tiny bit slower then the R142A.

mark1447 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted October 11, 2009 well i was on the g/o today, but the is running on its union port cars, saw them from 149th to Fulton.. No Jerome cars.. Nor R142As. Dunno about tomo however >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted 5 R142A's when I was Utica Friday night. Still very few compared to the amount they did run before......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar1 Posted October 11, 2009 Share #11 Posted October 11, 2009 R142A appears more modern than R142. R142A have Ads on all walls, compared to R142 where some walls are empty. R142A has a better propulsion sound than R142. R142A is actually smoother than R142. That's why todays R143 and R160 copied the appearance and features more of R142A. R143 has the same propulsion sound as R142A/ some R160s has the same Alstom Propulsion sound R142, other R160s has siemens propulsion sound unknown. However I still like both R142/142A cars.

All i like about the R142 is the Roaring noise when slowing down and the smoothness and hissing sounds. But i think the R142 are a tiny bit slower then the R142A. R142 are smoother, as for the speed into 59st from 86st S/B, or from 42st to 59st N/B, it depends on the train you get. There are slow R142A's, and fast R142's. As for the R142 hissing and roaring, OMG I love those sounds. Overall the R142s are a bit slower than the R142A's, but the only train I ever got to 49mph was a R142. R142A 48mph the most..........

Unless, it is the amount of time it took to get there. I don't care for the Seimen's propulsion as you can always hear it and it makes the train traction motor louder than the Bombardier 142. They both have truck click/clack sounds, maybe more noticeable on the 142s since they have quieter traction motors. I've definitely noticed on the 6 that some of the 142As take off with a bang and strong bump. What's up with that? Have not noticed that on any R142s? I haven't yet or on R143s or R160s. Overall, I like the R142s better and R160s with Alstom propulsion. I also think the 3-note thing is just a more unique sound than the high-pitched wind-up sound of Seimens.

The R142A does not use Siemens propulsion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
