Robert Bosco Posted February 20, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2008 Is there a paticular reason why paticular cars run on certain lines? I would love to see a change, like R42's on the or R68's on the . Is there anythig preventing these changes from happening, or simply "it is what it is." I know that BMT/IRT can't mix.

R32 3348 Posted February 20, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 20, 2008 Different cars are assigned to different yards, which is the reason why. This is a list of what I think each car runs out of. R32 - Pitkin/207 St Yard , Jamaica Yard R38 - Pitkin/207 St Yard R40 - Coney Island Yard R42 - East New York Yard R44 - Pitkin/207 St Yard R46 - Jamaica Yard R68/A - Concourse Yard (2500 to 2706 or something) ((D) / Coney Island Yard (R68 2706 to 2924 and all R68A) R143 - ENY Yard R160 - cars 8313 to 8652 belong to ENY Yard , while the rest and all R160B belong to Coney Island Yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted February 21, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 21, 2008 To trainfan22 - thanks, I don't really know IRT yards except East 180th Street and Corona Yard. To error - I think FPY is only a storage yard, and they gave up the R143s becasue the M runs R160s for the shuttle now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted February 22, 2008 Share #9 Posted February 22, 2008 I don't know the difference between R160 A and B The base order R160A are numbered 8313 to 8652 (4 car sets) and 8653-8712 (5-car sets) for a grand total of 400 cars. The base order R160B are numbered 8713-8842 (Alstom ONIX AC Propulsion) and 8843-8972 (Siemens AC Propulsion) for a grand total of 260 cars. The only differences include slight differences in window size, window sill protection (the R160B have a steel covering around the windowsill to prevent vandalism IIRC), propulsion (Siemens R160B) and car manufacturer.
