Nova RTS 9147 Posted May 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2010 This is to my knowledge (i.e. Don't take this as the sure answer) - To which extent, I don't know ( - Either one or two trains that serve during the weekday. - Depending on which weekend, you might see it on this route.

MattTrain Posted May 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2010 I believe up to five R-32 sets are running on the . The ( as said before only has that one R-32 set, and very rarely you might see in the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted May 29, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 29, 2010 Affirmative. Alpha runs a couple of them, I rode one myself Monday. I'm not exactly sure (so don't quote me) but the Quincy could run that set during the weekend when the Bravo is not running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted May 29, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 29, 2010 The runs several R32s (up to 5) during rush hour, and I would assume some during midday as well. The ( runs one set during rush hour, which is sometimes seen on the during rush hours (I don't think so on weekends) but it's very rare. If you wanted to fine that lone CI R32 on the you would have to wait on the Brighton line stations (like Atlantic Ave.) in case it was on the instead.

R32 3838 Posted May 30, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 30, 2010 - 1-2 trainset would run all day(it depends other wise Rush Hours) (- Depends since they like playing musical intervauls, step 1:AM Rush Hours Only, step 2: All day, 2 major intervauls that it has been on for this past month, eather the 8:30 or 9:28 out of Brighton Beach and Step 3: if its in that Middle track at Brighton Becah It would be pulled out just incase if a train is taken out of service( R68/A breakdown) Or If its in that Middle track at 145 It would be the 4:08 out of 145 (last out of 145 start of the PM rush) , Just Pure Luck, The last time it ran was during the midnight Hours on the Last week of march, I got the R32 on the day after Thanksgiving, Monday might be a good day to look for it. : Just put it this way: YANKEE SPECIAL, or any othe speical even at Yankee Stadium like the Boxing event on june 5th (saturday).

bstar1 Posted May 30, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 30, 2010 That's funny because I've never seen an R32 on before. From the time I first started riding the subways, I've only seen the same R68 sometimes R68A on . There was a few times when I seen them use R40(Yankee Special) only.

YankeesPwnMets Posted June 1, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 1, 2010 I wont be surprised if they start taking R46 and R160s from the and run them as a special from 2 Av to 205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted June 1, 2010 Share #12 Posted June 1, 2010 Why? The borrows trains from CI yard. And although the lays up trains at Av X, those are still Jamaica yard's trains. So if anything that one R32 set and mostly R68As and R160A/bs could be used, but not R46s/R160s from the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenue X is a satellite yard that the uses. You have to regard the length of the line in general. The main yard is based around the northern end of the line, so you do need a satellite yard near the southern end, in case if you want to add more trains or have storage for additional trains. While the (D)'s home yard is Concourse, it does store some trains at CIY (for similar reasons as the and Ave X), but its base equipment is based out of Concourse. Similarly, the ( uses Concourse as a satellite to store some trains for rush hour service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted June 2, 2010 Share #17 Posted June 2, 2010 What station you wait at doesn't really make a difference if you're taking videos. It just depends when you're waiting. Rush hour is a good time to wait for the R32 (A)/(:P/(Q). Chances are you won't find it on the as often as you will find it on the (, so if you are looking for the Coney Island R32 then don't wait at stops where only the Q stops (like along Broadway). Just wait along the ( line or along the Brighton Line. Just don't wait and take photos/videos at stations where you have taken photos before. So basically, try new stations instead of the same old stuff you already have photos and videos at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted June 2, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 2, 2010 How does a train on a route confuse passengers? Because people don't decide what their train is by looking at the signs. They rely on car type instead. If you are a Brighton line rider and you walk down the stairs to see an R68 on the express track then it is a ( train. However if an R160 were to make it on the express track and all the signs said ( you would think it's a missigned train. An R32 would cause more confusion for the idiots who don't read signs. It's a BS reason not to run cars on a line but that's the logic behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me the people on the brighton to me are more smarter when it comes to looking at signs than the people at 59th, at 59th st/8th some lady asked if (R68) was a train LOL.
