The R32 Brightliners

[EE Broadway Local 18]

Do you like or dislike the R32 Brightliners and if you like them, which lines have you ridden them on?

[INDman 414]

There ok, I only like then because they are the only "classic" NYC subway car left. I won't mind when they are gone though as I like the actual system more then I like the rolling stock (recent rollingstock) and I still get to work with some of the classic cars Low-Vs, Arnines, and Rebirds. I have ridden them on the ( lines.

[SoSpectacular 771]

I don't mind the R32s, I've only rode them on the and lines in the past.

[LRG 217]

R32s are the greatest of the greats. I'll truly miss these cars when they go but at least I can still ride them everyday on the at my own discretion because I live along the line.

[bveguy 20]

I like them, but not as much as the slant

You better back away from my Slants!!!

I don't like them. They look cool, but they're slow, and always cause delays. I like the slants.

[INDman 414]

R32 are ok, but I'd take an R1/9 any day.

hated them avoided the train for 17 years because of them just a very ugly car in my opinion

[lilbluefoxie 820]

Ive rode them on the and , I think I might have had an R38 one time when i was going to Ft Tyron Park, im not sure since back then i didnt know how to tell the difference

[INDman 414]

The R38s were alot better then the R32s. When they were new, they had alot of new features.

[KNIGHTRIDER3:16 198]

I do like these

but 38's were always hotter

[LRG 217]

Is that an R32 train at Nostrand Avenue??? DAAAAAANG!!! Now that's retro.

Pro: they have an RFW

 

Con: they're f'in loud

 

I'd rather have a quiet ride than a chance to foam...

If you think the R32s are loud, get ready for the Arnines this weekend.

Heh...bring your earplugs for the 53rd St tube!

 

Or go deaf. Slowly.

 

Up to you.

*G.O. Splitting the in two Sections:

1. 205 St and Broadway-Lafayette St via the line

2. Broadway-Lafayette St and Coney Island.

I always have all my PPE.

I rode the Arnines last year plenty, I know how their ride is. They're a special event though, not a regular ride; people don't really have to deal with that at least twice a day every day.

So that's why you're deaf.

I wish it was that simple. Been this way since before elementary school.

when did they use R32s on the Express and lines?

[INDman 414]

R32s were on the Frankie in the early 90's but I don't know when they were on the Quincey diamond.
