I think the trains are back as R46. So long train as R46, you will be missed.

one of my most memorable moments on an R46 was getting stuck on one for 5-10 minutes cuz of some problem around Smith-9th Street in 2009.

 

R46s were also the first subway car I rode in, oddly enough on the back in 2005.

A T/O left his cab unlocked on an . I would have stayed in longer but tons of people were looking at me.

[Ftrainfan]

Ok! I have one...

 

every day I took the train from 1997 to 2010 , getting an R46 on my most favorite line was a very memorable day. From the day I did stand up on the to cheer up a friend and made the other passengers days with my jokes from the very last NYC subway trip for my older cousin who's in philli going to college now. the will Always be remembered for carrying the R46 with respect!

 

But My most Favorite R46 moment was when I introduced my 7th grade classmate to the train. He said "Wow! It looks and sounds JUST like the but it's longer! How they do that?" That's when I Laughed my ass off and told him "You know , the is not the only train in the system with these models. Look at the , and the and you'll see what I mean."

I remember an R46 breaking down in the Rutgers Tunnel at 1 a.m., someguy in the other end of the subway car whipped out a blunt and boxed the whole car. (Mind you, its the last car, me and my ex are at end B while the pothead was at end A). He keep puffin till the train moved. At York, the doors opened and plume of smoke just rushed out the train. Best memory of the R46s on the for me.

There was an R46(F) a few weeks ago and they only putin very rarely a 46 when something happens like a big gap or something.But I love how the R46's on the swayed and moved they are quick,comfortable and quiet feminine cars that I love.Easily fall asleep on one b\c of the swaying.

Jezz, you're making it sound like someone died. It's not that big a deal.

 

LOL, I love how that's the only negative post.

 

 

Anyway I remember being on an R46 F programmed as Coney Island-bound, but we were Manhattan-bound. I thought it was funny. Lol.

Thank You! Someone else that almost falls asleep on a R46 b/c of it's nice suburban design. I knew I wasn't crazy! That happened to me a month ago on a rainy day when I was on the going to work! Good thing the announcements kept me from totally crashing!

So you're saying as a passenger you were inside an R46 cab? First of all, why did you even try to see if it was unlocked or not?

 

The other passengers knew you had no business being in there.

 

STAY OUT!

I told you in prior thread that even though you haven't seen an R46 on the F for awhile it does not mean you'll never see one there again. If one needs to be assigned to make service, it will run.

 

Memories are very short around here.

There is one car that should be remembered. The R44s even though they are not off the active roster yet and even then when they do retire you'll still be able to see them stored at the Concourse yard until they decided to scrap them.

They will be remembered for their unique sounds.

 

Whatever they cost brand new, I don't think there was ever a car that NYCT has spent so much money on the make modification after modification after modification on, GOH not withstanding.

 

Those cars were a major headache, caused lots of overtime and cancelled trips back in the day.

 

Because of the tight cab, operating personnel will not be missing these cars in the slightest. I haven't spoke to the C guys lately but I do know many of them and I doubt if they're too happy being stuck with them temporarily.

My wife takes the every day. She misses the R46's because she had a better chance for a seat.

I'll give you this from a passenger standpoint: the R46 seat is much more comfortable than the R160 seat as well.

Alright, I miss operating the 46's on the Fox. Lots of fun back in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Those cars were and STILL are VERY comfortable to operate.

They are not going to run NEW R160's on the C, essentially a part time line: lays up overnight and many times does not run or is severely shortened on the weekends.

One of the best experiences I had with an 46 was when it had to go express from 18 Ave to Kings Hwy. I was sitting in the window seat enjoying the smooth and fast ride as it was swaying from left to right.

 

Another great experience was whan an operator had the cab door about one or two inches open. I was peeking through with much curiousity - just watching the speed and the t/o operate the controlls from Neptune Ave to Coney.

With all due respect, which "peepers" do not know, is the reason why the cab door is open one or two inches is to get some cool air in there because the cabs are quite hot.

 

When you block the doorway to look in, you're blocking his air supply. Again, when you or anybody else does this, it is unintentional that you are doing this.

I know, but I do stand one foot back or so when I do want to see out that partly open cab access door

 

Also, I have some R46 F-Line train movies here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, they were shot out front since the RFWs had no ads or newspaper clippings which are now there these days, in fact, during my visit one week ago, all the R46s I got had an ad in it's RFW thus forcing me to sit down and look all over the car interior.
