trainfan22 Posted January 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2008 Because they dont have enough sets for the , The line will receive R160s instead, plus they're quailfing crews for the 160s.

Pablo M 201 Posted January 20, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2008 Sounds all too strange putting new cars on a part time line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted January 20, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2008 At least with the R160s on the W, it will be easier to change the signs to/from a N or a W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-Trizzy2609 Posted January 20, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 20, 2008 Something is off here. trains getting R-160's?

Also, has anybody seen the recent R-143's on the ? Is their a possibility the mught get new car too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted January 20, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 20, 2008 IF the line has R160s, the will get a few sets now and then, as with the R68 that appeared from time to time before the R160s were here. I don't think the entire line will be R160 and they will go on the though, but I don't know where you got your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he got it from Subchat, beacuse I posted it on Subchat they are qualifying (W)iskey Crews on the R160's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North-Eastern T/O Posted January 23, 2008 Share #23 Posted January 23, 2008 The Line is not getting those T/O CCTV right now, there only for OPTO service and as of now theres no plan to run OPTO on the next pick. There CCTV they need to install are for the C/R at the station that need them. Once there in the R160's will run 24/7. One thing they better move fast. After that 12-9 on Sunday 3 trains of R42's went down and had to be pulled OOS. One that I had on my first trip went back out and started going BIE, The first time the poor T/O had to walk around the train in the Bitter cold just to find nothing. Then it happen while the train was standing still at Myrtle Ave with a TSS on board, Train was pulled. second one went out with Door problems that could not be fixed. Then my last trip my train at Cleveland st the whole train would not respond to full power from the controller. I called it in after leaving BWJ just in case it did not happen again, well it did kept happening. I was pulled out at Myrtle Ave on 2 track and changed ends in the station and was sent to the yard. ENY is not keeping up with the R42's anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
