Cait Sith Posted March 3, 2008 Share #29 Posted March 3, 2008 oh lord, more rust will start on the R40s They will no longer have the "Coney Island Classics" title in their name since they did run on every line that served that station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted March 4, 2008 Share #38 Posted March 4, 2008 I find it rather boring that only Alstom proplusion R160s are running on the N atm. When they had both sets running, anything could've happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they had both sets running, anything could've happened. Funny thing about that. Back in August, waiting at Canal, comes in an R160, 8723 in particular. We were waiting for the . Comes in another R160 and the two people I was with thought it was an R160 ranging from 8713 to 8842. Little did we know, once it got closer, then it slowed down, we knew what we were hearing and we knew to get on the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, the R32 will remain on the and lines. That train will remain. All of the R38's will be replace (temporarily) by the R40S and the R42 until the next option of R160 cars are delivered.

I dont think the MTA is going to give jamica yard R160s LOL. If half the R44 fleet is getting retired then why ALL of them is getting heavy work done on them? something just doesnt add up its likey that the could get the R68As since the MTA wants to extend the line to ten cars...

The R44 will not be getting the overhaul previously stated because MTA has purchased option 2 of the R160 order (which is the R179). Because of this order and the other R160 orders, MTA felt it would be best to do minor repairs. With the R160, they are only replacing the R38. The R32 will remain on the , , and lines. The R40S/R40M will replace the and ©'s R38s until the R160 order will be delivered. Some R68A will replace the until the R179 is delivered in 2009.

Oh so the MTA changed thier minds about giving the R44s heavy work. Oh and do you know what type of populsion systems these R179s will have?
