I remember that very well cause that was around my birthday. In fact, on my birthday, 3/26/09, I caught a R32 on the and on 3/27/09, I rode my first R160 on the . I loved both trips cause it was old school one day and new school the next. It was perfect.

O/T, but why is my handle a tag in this thread?

[MattTrain]

The was fully R46 at one point? I remember seeing R32 subway cars here and there too before the R160s came along.

The was fully 46s for at leat 10 years between 1980-90 before the 46s were rebuilt and then was all 46s from 1991-2001 when the came and then the got rush hour 32s.

Between 1991 and December 16, 2001 (when a certain Queens Blvd local debutted) the was 100% R46. Those were the days.

Thank you for clarifying the info.

I don't think the was 100% R46s, I remember riding R32s during that time every once in a while.

Correct; the ran 32s but not that many. However, when the was introduced, the lost some 46s so they could be shortened to four cars and the 32s that ran on the went to the .

The was a 100 percent 46s along with the for the whole decade of the 80s. When the 46s were rebuilt in 90-91 the got 32s then when all the 46s were rebuilt the got 32s the was 100 percent 46s the was a 100 percent 46s and so was the . In 2001 with the creation of the the got rush hour 32s.

I'm talking about the '91 to '01 time frame Forrest Glenn gave.

The also ran R32s until December 2001. The was NEVER 100% R46s even before December of 2001. There were still a few 32s because the and the had them too. When the came about the ran R32s here and there but one would have a better chance riding them.

[Grand Concourse]

I too remember seeing R32s on the G in the 90s.

Thats incorrect the was a hundred percent 46s after they were rebuilt until 2001 i ride the everyday do you

Then how did I ride R32s on the as a kid?

[nel070]

I too remember seeing R32s on the G in the 90s.

 

The was a 100 percent 46s because they used all the married pair of engine cars to make it six cars. After the 46s were rebuilt they gave the 46s to the locals and the

You might have rode the(F) in 90-91 when the 46s were being rebuilt but after the completion until 2001 the was 100 percent 46s. There was a breif period in april 1994 when the got the 46s and the ran 46s and 32s but that was for about two weeks.

No it was not in 90 or 91, this was more around 98. If it had been 90 or 91, I would not remember it.

[BSmith]

IRG5784, you are not correct. ne1070 is absolutely correct when he said the and were 100 percent R46s. You did not find R32s on the or in the 1980s for months at a time and perhaps there were years in the 1980s when no R32s serviced either line. Only when there were mechanical problems were the or using other type of equipment during that period. For people who have been riding the or in the 1980s, the R32s always felt like substitute trains although some younger riders may associate the R32s with the .

 

The also ran R32s until December 2001. The was NEVER 100% R46s even before December of 2001. There were still a few 32s because the and the had them too. When the came about the ran R32s here and there but one would have a better chance riding them.

[LRG]

The ran BOTH 32s and 46s...not so many 32s but a majority of 46s in the timeframe before 2001. I don't need to ride a line everyday because even back then when I was nine I still knew what was going on. I rode a 32 in 2000 so what you said about the and being 100% R46s is false.

 

Then how did I ride R32s on the as a kid?

 

I did too, even before December of 2001.

 

The was a 100 percent 46s because they used all the married pair of engine cars to make it six cars. After the 46s were rebuilt they gave the 46s to the locals and the

 

Wrong, it used 8-car R32s and 6-car R46s until 2001 when it was shortened to 4-car R46s.

 

You might have rode the(F) in 90-91 when the 46s were being rebuilt but after the completion until 2001 the was 100 percent 46s. There was a breif period in april 1994 when the got the 46s and the ran 46s and 32s but that was for about two weeks.

 

Again, the used a majority of 46s; there were still 32s in the mix albeit not that many until the gave up its 32s to the in 2001 when you began to see more than usual.

[nel070]

Incorrest absolutely the were all 100 percent 46s and the was exclusively 32s with an occasional 46 from 91 to 2001 then the got 32s because they gave up trainsets to the not going to argue with you. Because its obvious you have no idea what you talking about and dont ride the everyday. But you should stop giving mis information and listen to those who know.

[BSmith]

That's right. I remember some riders being thrilled to get the R46s back but it was short lived. Some were confused during those 2 weeks or so and thought the R32 (F)s were (E)s. Personally, I never want to see an R32 or R42 on either line again. Time moves on. I will miss the R44 as it debuted on the and was a truly marvelous, modern, quiet, train with a much nicer interior than its predecessor, the R42. The R46 is a refined R44 and though the interior is dated now, it is still attractive and it's a pleasant train to ride aboard.

LOL!!!!

 

I think it's the other way around buddy because YOU are the one who has absolutely a single goddamn clue as to what you're saying. FYI I lived in Queens from 2000-2001 and again from 2003-2004 so the lines I had used during my time out there were the and . IND is contradicting your claims too so maybe you need to get your info straight cuz no one's buying it.

 

Try again, you failed epically :tdown:

[INDman]

You (nel070) have still not asnswered my question. How did I ride several R32s around 98 and 99 if the was 100% R46s?

[LRG]

And what would happen if the TA decides to slip a 32 on the again? There's talk of that happening so you'll just have to put up with it. A train is a train who really cares?....

Thank you. The , and were not 100% R46s because there were still a crapload of R32s at Jamaica and those trains were used on other lines.
