The last time R32s even ran on the was in 2008 right before the R32s left Coney Island. There was an incident where an elderly woman slipped and fell at the Ft. Hamilton Pkwy station. Her lawsuit said that the accident was caused by one of the "old"trains, meaning an R32. After that incident, R32s were removed from the line. To my knowledge this was in late 2007 or early 2008. I think I have gone over this same topic with you before too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted November 28, 2009 Share #9 Posted November 28, 2009 Okay, but I still find that farfetched. Its like saying that the Arnines can't run on the Culver Line because of construction going on that could put the cars in danger. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

If this happened in late 2007 or early 2008, the rumor is either false or it was decided to put the car class was put back because there's a picture on nycsubway.org that shows the R32s on the during mid-2008.

LRG Posted November 28, 2009 Share #13 Posted November 28, 2009 That probably puts that R32 Sea Beach ban hoax to rest. I remember when Coney Island didn't want Slants on the earlier this decade, but guess what--they came back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it means is that they rethought the derision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't a woman have the same likelihood of slipping on the as she would the ? It was the decision made at that time. As with all thing in RTO nothing is set in stone, and things that are set in stone are subject to change all the time. As, the threshold plate on an R32 is narrower then those on an R68 or some of the NTTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
