TwoTimer Posted August 21, 2010 Share #12 Posted August 21, 2010 Local recycle works wonders on the Lex corridor especially bet 14-96. Rumors about the swap been going on since I got hired lol. However manual announcements can speed up the trip bet Pelham-96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdi919 Posted August 21, 2010 Share #18 Posted August 21, 2010 i dont see why they would send the 142 for cbtc when the surveys have not even started on the main line for it. they are having a real hard time trying to figure out where to put cbtc equipment due to lack of space from the entrance of the tube to times square. i have been on the surveys and its funny to see how frustrated the contractors get when they see they have to measure the same area 2-3 weeks in a row and find new problems everytime.

Art Vandelay Posted August 21, 2010 Share #19 Posted August 21, 2010 Remember- the options for the cars beyond the first three trains has yet to be taken. if the swap occurs anytime before the full order is signed, we are only talking about 1-2 trains of R62As on the 6 and 2-3 R188s on the 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted August 22, 2010 Share #20 Posted August 22, 2010 I always said this will be interesting and I don't see it working since they have to do a bunch of Modifications its going to cost a good amount of money that claims they don't have.
