Whoa!

[LRG]

So I was out yesterday railfanning from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. During the time I was out, I saw the...wait, here's the stuff I caught first:

 

R32s are back on the !

Not really, but the train was signed as an :

 

 

To the Bronx:

 

Then to Queens. But why does this car number look so familiar???

 

 

My friend and I saw this train zoom by heading uptown while we were on the train at Woodhaven Boulevard. We saw two other R46s on the , and they were all back to back. We waited for this at Forest Hills and rode it down to 34th Street in Manhattan:

 

 

I headed down to Brooklyn on a train, and then up to Atlantic Avenue - Pacific Street because we saw something leave 36th Street and at the next stop, we found out!

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not a fan of R160s so much, but when i saw this on the in Brooklyn, sorry to say but...I lost it

 

And to the Bronx again:

 

 

That's all for now. Enjoy!

Cool pics! Nice catches with that R - 160 and the R - 44 ! Why would they need an R - 44 if 75 feet long cars can't be used?

Thanks, and the signs were being messed around with. We went to Concourse and there are 24 cars of R44s waiting to die.

You don't necessarily have to, considering you have the next 40 years to catch it.

Thanks man. The problem was that the consist of the 38s though were gone because some T/O ran their mouth.

True, you have rights to your opinions. I believe they were tested on the not too long ago.

They will be there for along time since the TA does not have the money to scrap them at this time. People taking photos of the R38s had NOTHING to do with them getting reefed, the TA knew they were there the whole time and had always planned of getting rid of them.

They did run on the before, a few times when the was heading to Euclid instead. But in one instance when it ran on the it used crew, and it happened at night.

I think the R44 and R46 have rollsigns and programs for every line out there... such as a R46 (M2)

Thanks. Some 75-foot cars have the Eastern Division lines while some don't....

[R42 M Train]

Nice shot of an r44

 

Also, I think Myrtle can use 75 foot cars because how else would this end up in the FP yard

Thanks! The chances of seeing a 75-footer is slim, unfortunately. Sideswiping on the bridge lead in and out of Marcy Avenue are just one of the many reasons why you'll most likely not see something like that again.
