Brighton Express Posted August 27, 2012 Share #877 Posted August 27, 2012 The R42 was ordered in the early 70's and the R32 in the late 60's... :/ There are no cars left from the 50's lol... you'd be able to tell. For example. NO A/C... I am sure both the R32s and R42s got an overhaul. The only reason people don't notice it is because the R46 ovehaul was on a much more larger scale, more people knew about it. I bet that over half of the forums does not know about the R40S overhaul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depotofrelax Posted August 28, 2012 Share #882 Posted August 28, 2012 Will this be final program for reefing the R32 & R42 because almost all of R32 & R42 have been reefed in Atlantic Ocean. When R179 come into service. is it 2 years left to delivery for R179 in 2014? I will make a bet When R46 retirement come . I maybe wrong. They will not reefed R46. Just like R44.

Far Rock Depot Posted August 28, 2012 Share #886 Posted August 28, 2012 If your referring to what cars will get reefed when the 179s arrive, I say none. Last time I heard, they ended the reefing program. Now as to what cars get scrapped, say goodbye to the 32s and 42s. And as far as the 46s, they still got a lot of life in them. I'm almost as old as they are (I'm 35). R179s in 2014? Not at this pace. We'll probably get a pilot set in 2015 maybe. Idk anymore. If it's not one thing it's another. And please try to proof read before you post. It's hard to translate your sentence fragments into something comprehensible. Which is why everyone responds "What?" after you post like their name is Steve Austin or something. Kinda reminds me of Donald Duck on "Duck Tales". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R46's don't have alot a life left in them ether, the ones on the and are doing bad as well due to breakdowns and etc., the Polit R179 should be here by 2015-earliy 2016 (if deliverd late) for testing when the R32's retire half of them will get scrapped, the other half will stay for non revenue service (work trains) for the B division, also another pair will be saved for the Museum.

The R46s are getting rehabbed to extend their life for SIR service, so theyre not a source of concern for the MTA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted August 31, 2012 Share #890 Posted August 31, 2012 There are not enough R179s to bump the R46s over to SI. Therefore, you can feel safe that such will not happen. The R46s are running fine now. No need to retire them early. Don't expect any to go anywhere soon. (for that matter, the R32s have not been performing too badly either.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B17EastNewYorkDepot Posted August 31, 2012 Share #896 Posted August 31, 2012 Im sorry but why would any one in their right mind think the MTA will swap the R143s to the C.. this is the dumbest thing i have heard . first off most of ENYs 160s arent capable of CBTC , im just saying 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted September 1, 2012 Share #897 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I think we've gone thru this in the past pages, there's no need to rehash this. It's not a big deal as train swaps happens all the time. Remember yrs ago the R40s-42 to the and JYD getting the R32s (before it was determined the R40s were a problem for riders because they didn't stop at the same car mark)? If the R179s have more 8 car trains intended for the , then what difference does it make if they decided to send the R143s to the ? They are both 8 car trains and it leaves ENY/Canarsie with 2 main train types. Plus, how hard can it be to equip trains with CBTC if they were built to handle them? As for SI, I will still say they should move the R68s there and save the bother of running the R46s there for 5~ yrs to be replaced by new trains. (take the single R68s off the Franklin S and send them to SI, R46 AA pairs could then be kept for the ).

I am sure it could run R32s if it wanted to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all subway yards will have one or two car types assigned! I can see why R143s being possible for the makes sense (not because of ridership, service increase, and CBTC) but will reduce maintenance costs at East New York Yard and provide better service for the BMT Eastern Division by simply making the 100% R179s, 100% R143s, and the 100% R160s like the so the doesn't borrow any of the other BMT ED lines. Of course, this is just mute disscussion. Just discussing what's possible that would actually help prevent ENY from maintaining a third car.

Grand Concourse Posted September 1, 2012 Share #900 Posted September 1, 2012 Well I don't think there's that many R143s to cover the full line's needs, but I'm saying it's not the end of the world if they were given to the . Again assuming the R179s for the turns out to be 8 car trains over 10 car ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
