KNIGHTRIDER3:16 Posted December 11, 2009 Share #27 Posted December 11, 2009 A bit of RT trivia, where did the pantagraph gates on the R42/40M come from? Isn't there thread for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted December 11, 2009 Share #29 Posted December 11, 2009 So what lines did these R42s from CI run on? for as far back as I can remember, all their lines mostly had 68s and 40s, and only recenly 160s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, were talking about R42 that were rebuilt at Coney Island Yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted December 11, 2009 Share #31 Posted December 11, 2009 Whenever it rained water would leak into the interior of the R42. However, the R42 was a much sturdier car than the R32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 11, 2009 Share #32 Posted December 11, 2009 So how does that make the R42 better than the R32 if water can leak into the R42? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted December 11, 2009 Share #33 Posted December 11, 2009 RPC does owns 3350-51, The NYCTM owns 3352-53. Thanks for confirming. Whenever it rained water would leak into the interior of the R42. However, the R42 was a much sturdier car than the R32. What are you talking about? With the R32s durable body AND frame, it's more sturdier than all cars R33-R44.

Joe Posted December 11, 2009 Share #34 Posted December 11, 2009 If the car is leaking water, i'm not inclined to believe it is particularly study either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, once water gets into a car, game over. It will get into places that you can't see unless you have the car up on horses and remove some of the under car equipment. Working at a trolley museum, I have seen this first hand, just because a car looks good from the out side, that means nothing at all if it is rotting away on the inside. Thats the part of the car most people never see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted December 11, 2009 Share #37 Posted December 11, 2009 Door pockets can be one of the worst spots for water, as well as inside the roof, and underneath window sills. Also there can be other structural defects not visible to the naked eye such as car sag, which means the shape and structure of the car has started to go bad. That is actually a much more serious structural problem than rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I rode an R42CI was on the ( in June 2007. Occasionally they ran mixed with the Modifieds so that most could not tell the car types apart and it looked like a uniform train to the average passenger.
