Grand Concourse Posted March 23, 2010 Share #79 Posted March 23, 2010 can't be, this one uses question marks. Heh, then again even he started making actual statements and replying. This compared to when he just asks something and never come back and later to start up the same thread again. this guy is from Japan and Chipper10 isn't. D'oh. Didn't see the little flag.

Art Vandelay Posted March 23, 2010 Share #82 Posted March 23, 2010 Individual cars are assigned to yards, but cartypes are assigned to lines. The N is assigned 10 R160B-1s and 220 R160B-2s. The W is assigned 50 R160As and 50 R160B-1s, the Q is assigned 90 R160B-1s. (At least, were as of 09/14/09) That isn't to say that R160As don't show up on the N. They do, they just aren't assigned there. R160A-1 and R160A-2 are not actual designations. That said, outside of the first test 5 car units, the 4 car units have stayed east(BMT/IND), and the 5 car units have stayed in the southern and queens divisions(BMT and IND).

R32 3348 Posted March 23, 2010 Share #86 Posted March 23, 2010 No. That was the whole point of ordering R160s, why would they revert back to using only R143s? They wouldn't have enough trains then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted March 24, 2010 Share #94 Posted March 24, 2010 they don't need any more than what they have. the complete set of 143s with some A-1s to maximize capcity. But don't forget, ridership may still be increasing on the , so a few extra sets of R160A-1's might be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfaner100 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share #95 Posted March 24, 2010 So, since the 32 R160A-1 cars from the option 2 order won't come with CBTC, what lines in the Eastern Division will they run on when they are in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princelex Posted March 24, 2010 Share #96 Posted March 24, 2010 I have a questions as well. When the ordered the R143's, did the number of cars ordered fill up the entire line at the time for 2001/2002? Were the R42's that were on the extra trains to help with the load or where they always there at that time? I was in the military at the time and I was always under the impression that they did not order enough R143's trains to fill up the , whether there were more people riding the or not.

Art Vandelay Posted March 24, 2010 Share #97 Posted March 24, 2010 In general, no, the new R160As will not have CBTC so they will not see L line service. However, if ENY happens to have no spare CBTC cars lying around, they will send out an R160 set without CBTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
