R32 Anthony Posted August 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2010 Hello everyone, I am back after some time. I saw today for the first time a R46 on the train this morning. Looks funny on that line. I hope they are not getting rid of any more R32's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted August 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2010 Old news since it was known for some time now, plus they are R44's, not R46's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 CNG Posted August 4, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2010 Hello everyone, I am back after some time. I saw today for the first time a R46 on the train this morning. Looks funny on that line. I hope they are not getting rid of any more R32's. Did it have a gray band if so its an R44, if it didn't its an R46 unless its paired with an R44, then its an R44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 Anthony Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted August 4, 2010 Hey, just remember, I have not been on the website in a while, so any "old" news is new to me. Please respect that. Anyway, I saw a R46 (but it could have been an R44, since it was in the tunnel and could not see it too well) for the first time and I was shocked.

Looks funny on that line. I hope they are not getting rid of any more R32's. R32s had problems with the a/c. R44s that were supposed to be retired are still around so riders can have working a/c. Again no R32s are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 Anthony Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted August 5, 2010 R32s had problems with the a/c. R44s that were supposed to be retired are still around so riders can have working a/c. Again no R32s are going. Thank goodness. I wish they kept all the other older car models too. I also heard that the remaining R32 and R42 will be overhauled again to last for another 5 years. I just hope they don't add doorbells or create a cab in the front like they they did in Chicago on the 2600's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted August 5, 2010 Share #9 Posted August 5, 2010 Yes, but in the end even if they started to retire the R44s earlier, the R32-42s would still be retired eventually. At least now the R32s will still be around a bit longer. Concidering they would be replaced, I don't see them doing anything other than basic stuff to make sure the trains runs for another 5~ years.

R32 Anthony Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted August 7, 2010 I lived in Chicago for a few years, and I saw they rebuilt their trains. They took away the railfan window and seat and built a cab (like the R44-R160's) and they added a PA announcements and door chimes that were not on the original cars.

That's a nice dream to have with the R32 and R42, a full overhaul, but for 5 years and the money MTA has at the moment, I really doubt it. Like other said, they are just going to make it last another 5 years, it is like trying to squeeze the last few minutes of your battery on a phone or laptop before it dies out.

If you seen a r160 before then, there is no need to foam. R160s are junk anyways; no need to foam over a Display. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
