Calvin Posted July 13, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2010 I was wonderin if can be all R160s cause before June 27, most of the conductors are doin well with R160s but now its 1/2 R160s and R68As. I was hopin that Jamaica gives 40 R160Bs (9143-9182) for the to move R68As to Pitkin for ?? Also, can Coney Island gives 1 R160A-2 set (8653-8662) for ?? *This is my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lance25 Posted July 13, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2010 Why do certain cars have to go to certain yards? The is half-and-half. That's not changing any time soon. Also, the R68s aren't gonna go to the for any reason as that line is good with the R46s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted July 13, 2010 Jamaica gives away 40 cars but gets 10 back. Not going to work. how bout this: 9143-9152 to CI and 8653-8662 to JAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Train Master Posted July 13, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 13, 2010 Perhaps this can be better.Jamaica gives Pitkin 40 r160's=40cars in exchange for 32 cars=4 R46 sets.But I would love to see Fat asses on the they haul and run smoothly after I've experienced on the re-routed and (B)'s yesterday and a few (D)'s today.Some R160's were supposed to go to Pitkin but they didn't want em which was dumb.

NX Express Posted July 13, 2010 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2010 Jamaica needs all the R160s it can get for the and lines. ENY needs R160s for the . Therefore, CI is not getting any more R160s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bveguy Posted July 17, 2010 Share #10 Posted July 17, 2010 Does it really matter which car goes where? As long as it gets you from point A to point B reliably, then it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted July 17, 2010 Share #13 Posted July 17, 2010 Seriously why would the be fully R160B there are no more R160B cars left and there would be no more extras because Kawasaki stop construction of the cars in early 2010. The chance that they will restart production is very low. Besides the is fine running half and half. Even if they do make new cars I think some of them should make it to the and lines seeing that a majority of the subway lines have had or has new cars.

R32 3348 Posted July 17, 2010 Share #14 Posted July 17, 2010 Before the cuts the was all R160 while the was half and half. Now it's the opposite. You can't have both lines be all R160 unless you take R160s from the other yards. The and both get more ridership/are generally busier during rush hour than the (N)/(Q) so giving them 75-footers with less doors per train would make things worse. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Calvin Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share #15 Posted July 18, 2010 Why not give 30 R160s to Jamaica and let the get a few more R68s. should run R68s though but i like it 1/2 new and old on the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted July 18, 2010 Share #16 Posted July 18, 2010 It doesn't matter. Why the hell are some people so obsessed with pointless car moves just for the sake of "seeing" a particular rollsign or LED on a particular train car type? The New York City subway system is not your own personal model railroad layout. There is nothing "weird" about wanting to learn more about transit, or being interested in it, but there is something DAMN weird about people who can only think about the system, what cars go where, and what they WANT to see because they think one sign looks better than another, or they want to hear automated announcements for a particular route, or they want to see their favorite car numbers assigned to a particular yard. Trust me, when you guys feel yourself behaving that way, it's time to log off the computer, go outside, and think about something else. Find a pretty girl and see if you can assign her to YOUR yard (do NOT use that as a pickup line though...) and you'll be making progress...

The , and is fine not the , I rather the to be half and half, You have an idiot that thinks that an R46 is going to go thru that cut. That was the reason why the is what it is now, This whole general manager thing is very stupid because they have no exprience and if they did you wouldn't have these bullshit car assignments the way they are now.

Zman Posted July 18, 2010 Share #20 Posted July 18, 2010 The got the 68A's and the went 100% R160 because the changes northern terminals during the overnights and weekends (from Ditmars Blvd to 57th St). Rather than having to crank a bunch of rollsigns, it's simply easier to put the older stuff on the where sign changing isn't required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T to Dyre Avenue Posted July 20, 2010 Share #25 Posted July 20, 2010 The fleet assignments are fine the way they are. There aren't enough R160s in CI to completely equip both the and lines. Even if there were, what would you do with all the R68s and 68As assigned to CI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
