lilbluefoxie Posted November 21, 2009 Share #101 Posted November 21, 2009 So if the gets half R46 and halfR160 and the gets some R160s, wheres the extra R46s going? to the and ? Also if they are going to take the 68s from the and make it all R160s where are the extra 68s going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted November 21, 2009 Share #102 Posted November 21, 2009 If the R and V were to get R160s, I would guess that the R46s would end up on the A/C. But, according to current plans, the R and V will not get R160s, so this is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted November 21, 2009 Share #103 Posted November 21, 2009 The R42's are going and from what I heard from somebody, That the R32's will be last, The R42's at ENY are rotting out bad and plus the MDBF on the R42's are very low so I dobut that the R42's will survive another 8 months, That R32 at CI is a long term G.O. Train, That would mostlikely be the Last 60" SMEE in passenger service. And I dobut that ENY would want an R42 back from jamaica. Thank you, but let everyone find out the hard way.

Grand Concourse Posted November 21, 2009 Share #104 Posted November 21, 2009 So if the gets half R46 and halfR160 and the gets some R160s, wheres the extra R46s going? to the and ? Also if they are going to take the 68s from the and make it all R160s where are the extra 68s going? At this point the 'dumping grounds' for any displaced 75'car train would be the A/C. But I highly doubt it would make much sense to send R68s from coney island to Pitkin as it would give them an extra fleet to deal with. Now if the G was ever transfered to Coney Island and given R68s [just my speculation], then that would free up some R46 sets to displace. Now as for the R46, that makes more sense as the A already has a bunch of them now and such a transition would be easy to do. But I also read rumors that MAYBE Pitkin or 207th might get R160s as well, but I can't be too sure about it. I mean sure the politicians might demand new trains on the A/C, but realistically [when the R32s are all retired and some R44s], an all R46 fleet would be ideal.

R32 3838 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share #105 Posted November 25, 2009 If an 3rd Option Order or R179's (who Knows) Will go to pitkin, I has been said already, Back to the R42 topic, Jamaica has only 40 left, a set went to scrap last friday, ENY still has 50 R42's left, On one note About the R42's, If the goes 10 cars don't Be surpised if the R42's made a comeback to the ©harlie (10 cars) But I doubt it, Who Knows what the TA would bring to table when it comes to the Retirement of the R42, Who Knows the might be the very last line to have R42's.

R32 3348 Posted November 26, 2009 Share #107 Posted November 26, 2009 There's 50 R42s at ENY, not 20. Jamaica had 50 R42s a couple of weeks ago but 2 R160s came in service since then so Jamaica should have 30 R42s left now. If you're hunting for an R32/R42 then wait at the middle of Lexington - 53rd. That's the halfway point of the line and you should only wait half an hour at most for one to show up. If you're hunting for an R32/R42 , one leaves Forest Hills at 2:55 and Bay Ridge at 4:33. I think the 7:59 out of Forest Hills is also an R32/R42 sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll have the chance tomorrow to get an R32/R42 Train at 2:55 PM At Forest Hills? and btw I was thinking about catching an R42 Train tomorrow if I can.

MAA89 Posted November 26, 2009 Share #110 Posted November 26, 2009 I got an R32 train, with 3932 and 3933 the lead cars, at 8th St-NYU yesterday around 3:30 pm. I took it to Whitehall St and decided to do a round trip on the SI Ferry just for fun (got the Andrew Barberi both ways). On returning to Whitehall-South Ferry at 5:00pm, I was waiting for an or a when, surprise, the same R32 I rode earlier came around. I took the to Canal St and transferred to the to take to Broadway Junction, and got an R42 set. I don't remember the car numbers, but I think I was in 4792. Anyone wanting to ride R32s/R42s can follow this pattern, assuming that R32 and R42 trains always run at the same time on weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 26, 2009 Share #111 Posted November 26, 2009 Always cool to catch the same train you rode on only hours earlier. Related, but about buses: I took a B41 bus #8870 and basically spent an hour at TS and when I got home, 8870 showed up at the Junction and I took that home. I certainly did not expect that.

BroadwayBuffer Posted November 26, 2009 Share #112 Posted November 26, 2009 I didn't even know there were any R-32s still on the . Then by coincidence, I'm running late and caught that one around 4:30 yesterday at 86 St N/B. I was going to CTL, but only took it part of the way.
