Grand Concourse Posted June 21, 2010 Share #53 Posted June 21, 2010 Saw an R68A on the last October. Like said, very rare, but not impossible to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted June 21, 2010 Share #54 Posted June 21, 2010 I would love to see R68/R68As on the As long as they swap them with the that'll be fine. 100% R160s on the has been kind of boring and if they did that to the , It'll be more boring.

VIP Posted June 22, 2010 Share #57 Posted June 22, 2010 Okay We all Know the R44's are currently being Phased out but has been delayed because Jamaica doen't want to give up more R46's And Now the the (N)/(Q), Rumors are flying that they want the to be 100% R160 (I don't support that) and the takes the (Q)'s R68's/A's as for the R32 Set at CI, it is unknown that it is going to be transferd or not. Expect More Changes by when all of this go in effect. HAve a good summer and enjoy. its not what they "want" nothing has been delayed. the (MTA)'s plan is to transfer 5822-6197 to pitkin on the 26 or 27th of june. you wanna talk about rumors? here's an interesting one "(F) trains using coney island R160's as extra's during rush hours or emergencies" as far as the , that line will still see some R68A's but MORE R160's. as for the R32 in Coney, thats being sent to 207th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Train Master Posted June 22, 2010 Share #58 Posted June 22, 2010 I hope that R32 set at Coney Island does stay there b\c them basterds at 207th wanted the 32's from Jamaica and they got them but its crazy how they don't even run everyday.They may run 1set out of the 3 they have or w/e and that's it.Back at Jamaica they ran in specific intervals on the its out of order.I hate seeing good trains sit.Now the one at Coney Island I rather see it at Jamaica where it will do much better b\c they'll use it for work service.Its just crazy how u want it u got it and don't use it.It's b.s I want the 32's off the b\c its boring now the is fine.Those are 45yr old trains that deserve to go 2 a part time line.I hope these 46's will knock off the 32's so they can be sent to Coney Island possibly for the (.

Grand Concourse Posted June 22, 2010 Share #59 Posted June 22, 2010 Calling people 'bastards' because you want a specific train at a certain place? I think you need to calm down there. First of all you don't decide anything and two with the demise of the , there won't be a need for that R32 there and R44s need to go asap. R32s and R46s right now are the only cars going to pitkin/207th. The only things leaving are the R44s, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted June 22, 2010 Share #70 Posted June 22, 2010 You are joking, right...? Does it really matter??? I agree with VIP, the R32s have aged well and despite their age they're still holding up well and can go for another 10-15 years if the MTA decides to. They're the ideal subway car. Stainless steel construction and rust-resistant. They're doing their job and that's all that matters. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them. They handle crowds well, have comfortable seating, and while I don't agree with all of them being at 207th Street at least they're taking care of them unlike Jamaica did.

I like new tech. I don't like really old things. I like design. I'm already looking forward to them new M8's. Whoo! Yeah, it ain't a luxury, but it sure is a business. And I wouldn't want my customers riding in discomfort. I'm glad there are R160's and Orion VII NG's. Things are more spacious and comfortable than they've ever been. I went to school in the city, so I know what it's like to ride 32's year in and year out. I loved when a surprise R46 would roll in on the . The ride was so much better.
