Car Assignments

[Robert Bosco 0]

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. (Qx)

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

You forgot the A div R160.

 

R142-180 st yard 239th st yard jerome yard

R142A-westheaster yard (6x) jerome yard

R62 livonia yard

R62A 238 st yard 207 st yard corna yard (7x)

[error46146 1,007]

the Fresh Pond Yard also has R42 and 143's for the M line as well

 

the Livonia yard also has some 142's for the 2/4/5

 

i think the 4 also shares the concourse yard with the b/d

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.

[error46146 1,007]

yea, but its still a yard lol

Let me break this down more:

R32- and come from Pitkin and 207 Street. , and come from Jamaica Yard. The and rarely use R32s

 

R38- and from Pitkin and 207 Street. Sometimes you see R32s and R38s mixed.

 

R40[M]- (, , and rarely the . The would use an R40 after a Yankee game or during a G.O. They are stored in Coney Island yard. Some R40s are stored at Concourse Yard for ( service.

 

R42- , , come from East New York yard

 

R44- and the Rockaway shuttle from Pitkin and 207

 

R46- , , , come from Jamaica

 

R68- lower numbered come from Concourse and run on the , higher numbered come from Coney Island and run on the , , , , and during some G.Os

 

R68A- , , , and come from CI. Just like the R40s some might be stored at Conc. Yard for service.

 

R143- only the and come from ENY

 

R160- I don't know the difference between R160 A and B, but I do know that the 5 car sets run on the and and come from CI, and the 4 car sets run on the , , and and come from ENY.

 

IRT breakdown next post

[PATCOman 196]

R62- stored at Livonia, there are a few on the too that are stored at Mosholu

 

R62A- stored at 240 Street, stored at Corona, Times Square Shuttle stored at Livonia IIRC. IIRC, there is still a set of R62As still running on the which comes out of Livonia. There also might be a set of R62As on the . I'm not sure if its there still.

 

R142- and stored at either 180 Street or Unionpoint or 239 Street, stored at Mosholu

 

R142A- stored at Mosholu, stored at Westchester Yard.

[R32 3348 11]

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.

[error46146 1,007]

not all 160B's have siemens. some of the 160B's have the regular one
