LRG Posted October 31, 2009 Share #27 Posted October 31, 2009 i dont hate them either but they getting annoying. Thank you! I mean, they were okay at first, but it's evident enough now that it's really starting to get boring and annoying every time I hear someone bragging about R160s! Put it this way: let's say a dude had a chance to have a whole day with a hot girl. He'd probable blow her off and decide to ride R160s all day instead. People need to get real!

LRG Posted October 31, 2009 Share #29 Posted October 31, 2009 lmao oh wow. nah, i tried to avoid taking them on the , but for what? i STILL get them............. on the . That I understand. Some places you go, you really don't have a choice. When I'm doing an errand or heading to school, I don't care what I get to, I'll get on an R32, R42, R44, R68, R160, as long as I get to where I need to go quickly. When I railfan, I'll jump on a line where I can catch anything but R44 and R160s (I'm not a fan of either cars) unless I don't have a choice (e.g. the is all R160, so if I want to railfan the , which I rarely do, I have no choice, but If I'm taking the , I'll catch an R46, or better yet, take an R32 train).

R32 3348 Posted October 31, 2009 Share #30 Posted October 31, 2009 Sounds like hella fun Luis.R68A`s are hard to find on certain lines considering that only 200 cars have been built.I haven`t been riding the rails lately,but hearing stories like this makes me want to get a metrocard and go.:tup: You're right. Too bad there's 425 more cars that look exactly like the R68As...(just pointing that out, on the whole I agree with you) Thank you!

LRG Posted October 31, 2009 Share #37 Posted October 31, 2009 How? Put it this way dude: with the new fleet coming in, the subway is now losing its variety when it comes to the types of cars we have. Don't get me wrong, I really don't have a vendetta with the R160s or any NTT. Heck, my favorite NTTs are the R142As and R143s (R130s too, although it's a NTTT (New Tech Test Train)). What makes it boring is this: 1. The loss of the railfan window on the B Division 2. As I said above, the loss of variety when it comes to the design and aesthetics of the subway cars. It was cool seeing them when they were first rolling in (they tested them on the , my home line!), but with the replacement of the R38s, R40 Slants and Straights, it's getting boring.

I figured that the R38s and the Slants would retire at this time or ahead of this time, but it is time for the R42s to go. I'm surprised they're letting them retire in 2010 though.

Question: when you saw those six R42s, did you go by the yard? If so, did you manage to see any trains in the yard at all? I agree with you on the . From what I heard, they may go back (do a trade: 50 R32s from 207th to ENY, and 50 R42s from ENY to 207th), but it's not set in stone yet cuz it'll only happen when the R42s retire so they can have easier access to 207th Street Yard.

mark1447 Posted October 31, 2009 Share #48 Posted October 31, 2009 I would have to agree about the R68 old news, same applies for R68 .. And R32 (!
