Robert Bosco Posted October 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 28, 2009 AKA R130. Damn, does that interior look good or what?! I'll go with "or what"..........it looks like you can sit 20 people per car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted October 28, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2009 I'll go with "or what"..........it looks like you can sit 20 people per car lol You're right...I wonder why that is. The "A" car seats 24 while the "B" car seats 28; the "A" car in an R142 seats 34, and its "B" car seats 40. The R130 holds more people with the extra space not occupied by seats however. Oh well...the R130 is still my favorite A Division car nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted October 29, 2009 Share #14 Posted October 29, 2009 The R110a had personality. The R142 is just a bland, cookie cutter car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 29, 2009 Share #15 Posted October 29, 2009 If they had gone with the R110A interior, they would've just had one color and still remain 'bland'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technology on those cars when ordered was brand new and much more expensive. By the time later cars came around such amenities as air bag suspensions etc had come down in cost which is why the per car price was smaller...not to mention the R110 orders were for 10 and 9 cars respectively so they were "one off" type situations and more expensive because of the design that went into it vs a larger order where that cost is more spread out.

FamousNYLover Posted October 29, 2009 Share #19 Posted October 29, 2009 I wish I got to ride them! Nice picture though! Me, too. I think they should bring up R110 on for Holiday Season every Saturday. Or bring it up on for METS, for Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard its broken, maybe they should tow it to the transit museum and keep it there with the other non-working classics they have there (R11, R16, R30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concourse Express Posted October 29, 2009 Share #23 Posted October 29, 2009 Last I remember, the R130's were moved to Concourse Yard. Does anyone know if there are any plans for these cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share #24 Posted October 30, 2009 They should give it an SMS and im sure they can do that. it would be cheaper to just tow it in as is, get the R110B up there next to the R11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted October 30, 2009 Share #25 Posted October 30, 2009 I say scrap it, recover extra space for storage in the yards and the MTA will get more money to help offset it's budget issues. Plus it will also cut down the amount of "They should run it on ** line" posts online.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
