Subway Update

[EE Broadway Local]

where the heck did they get the R195 contract from? was it an immaginary number or is there actually something out there to prove it's possibility as the actual contract number?

 

Unless I'm wrong, Fan Railer: R179, R188 then R197. Maybe they're being planned for the .

[Art Vandelay]

For those who wish to calculate such things, a good estimate for spare factors is a spare train for every 5-6 trains in service. The F will still need R46s even when all the R160s are delivered, even if all of the remaining trains will be assigned to the E/F pool (Which, unless things change, they will be.).

Spoke to a Dispasher today, R160 ran on the ®omeo yesterday, I didn't run today, It should run tommorrow, It might be a put-in also.

R195?!?!?! Provide more info on this when you can...what cars are those supposed to replace?

By the time the R195s are ordered, R68s will be waving farewell.

And as a matter of fact, the R42s that are at East New York will have to stay at East New York for the and the because the 160s that will come in will have to be used by the new especially during rush hours.

 

And the problem with the R142As on the is that the rooflines are too round...one set came out of the tube and it was scratched up like crazy.

Oh, lord...another set of problems...that means that either they fix the tunnel (unlikely) or the R188s will have R62-type roofs (likely).

He's saying let's wait and see instead of continuing to speculate too much.

Sometimes the 62s have a hard time going through the tunnel...not enough clearance.

I wouldn't like that its kinda boring to me having only one fleet on an entire IND Line E,F,R,M.I'm already bored of 68's & 68A's on the Concourse but I still love these slow cans.

The 68's are only slow starters; when they get going, they get going!

They're slow to me period eventho I love em,but the only experienced fast ride on a 68 on the D/B is 34th to W4 S/B & N/B,Tremont to 167th S/B just before the timers and both directions btwn Atlantic Av and 36th St.The Tubes is nice also but other than that they're slow.

Full Jamaica R160 fleet (once delivery complete): 81 trains.

E+F requirement (Including spares): Roughly 84 trains.

 

E+F will therefore not be entirely R160, unless spare factors are lowered or further R160s are reassigned to Jamaica.

 

If the G R and V are to get R160s, they will be at the cost of the E/F having R160s. I rather doubt that will happen.
