SubwayGuy Posted February 7, 2011 Share #176 Posted February 7, 2011 OK to square the confusion: There are "school cars" that are stored in yards and used as classrooms. They are not operated by students in the class, they are just used for classroom space to teach them the course. The course, is called "schoolcar". When the class is ready to begin learning using real equipment, the instructors take them out with actual subway trains to practice. These cars are also referred to as "schoolcars" and do not take on passengers obviously since their crews are practicing under supervision. When INDman says the "Schoolcars" are going, he is referring to the ones in yards which are used as classrooms. However "schoolcar" as a course will continue to be taught. And part of that course will still involve practicing on real equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted February 7, 2011 Share #177 Posted February 7, 2011 Those R16s tied the R10s level for the biggest lemons in the system. Despite that fact I still like the R16s. They along with their cousin the R10s were much better in the 1960s. Didn't R16s get transferred all over the system by the late 1960s and early 1970s? Was that due to the Arnines that were braking down and experiencing problems? The R10s were not lemons. They were just never meant to run that long, and were not properly maintained throughout their service life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanatic Posted February 7, 2011 Share #178 Posted February 7, 2011 When are they taken out for practice? Late nights? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tram man Posted February 7, 2011 Share #179 Posted February 7, 2011 Why would they use them to teach new employees how to operate equipment that's no longer used? Plus, almost all of the school cars can't move under their own power since parts have been taken from them. Thats exactly the reason to why i asked, 2 or 3 posts back, what school cars were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted February 7, 2011 Share #180 Posted February 7, 2011 When are they taken out for practice? Late nights? They go out either during the mid day or midnights but they need permission from Comand Center. Meaning that even if it's 02:30, if the road is messedup they may not be allowed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
105th St KK QJ JJ J Posted February 7, 2011 Share #181 Posted February 7, 2011 The R10s were not lemons. They were just never meant to run that long, and were not properly maintained throughout their service life. I really liked the way R10's looked painted in WF colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainFanatic Posted February 13, 2011 Share #185 Posted February 13, 2011 75 St-Elderts Lane A little off topic but my mom's friend said that "back in the day" he used to be part of a gang in which he had fights with another gang from this school as seen in the background (Franklin K. Lane). He said that him and others used to break into the cabs and use the PA system to say random crap that would upset the other gang, which would start fights. He's currently a police officer. I go to one of the four new schools located in this huge building. The four new schhols are here to stay. However Franklin K. Lane, the school is being phased out. Interesting fact from wiki: At the time Franklin K. Lane High School was built, it was one of the largest high school buildings in the world. Each of the four floors is one-quarter mile; walking four times around one floor equals one mile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Paniagua Posted March 4, 2011 Share #195 Posted March 4, 2011 There are eight pairs of Slants left on property: two pairs (four cars) at Concurse, one pair (two cars) at Rockaway Park, and one pair for the transit museum. Maybe they should take the four cars at concourse and couple them with 4392/4392 from Roackaway Park and use them for excursion runs while 4280/4281 sit at the TM with the other car models. Now talk about nostalgia on the move these days! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
