Quill Depot Posted October 1, 2012 Share #1002 Posted October 1, 2012 Calm down, Mr. "This community is going to hell because everybody fights with each other." It has been in hell since before you came. Once a thread passes 3 or 4 pages a war erupts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Express Posted October 2, 2012 Share #1005 Posted October 2, 2012 I just want to know how many cars are going to each yard, since the and SAS are supposed to get them. For the millionth time, we do not know. How many times has that been said now? Please read before you post. We have to wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 2, 2012 Share #1006 Posted October 2, 2012 I just want to know how many cars are going to each yard, since the and SAS are supposed to get them. For the , it'll be enough so they can retire all the R42s and be all NTT.SAS is still a while to go, but will probably require at least more than a handful of trains. , I'll just wait on if they get either just the 10 car trains or a mix of both 8 and 10 car trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted October 2, 2012 Share #1007 Posted October 2, 2012 You know how the is... They probably just keep the being 100% R46s like the , , and the Rockaway Park Shuttle...or give R68s or R68As... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depotofrelax Posted October 3, 2012 Share #1010 Posted October 3, 2012 I am lil confused why Kawasaki Rail Car wont built R179. At least my opion Kawasaki Rail Car will have chance to built R211. At least we are riding mostly Kawasaki Rail Car of New York City Subway system . Choosing another car company to built R211. It will look very bad I just saying. People like riding Kawasaki Rail Car Subway rail Car R62 , R142A , R143 , R160B I hope they have chance to built R211 it will look bad for them i just saying some know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Bombarider made the R142's, and 62A's, and people were fin with those. Not to mention Bombarider was over $150 Million cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted October 3, 2012 Share #1012 Posted October 3, 2012 What confusion? Railcar contracts go to the lowest bidder. Bombardier gave the best offer. Kawasaki isn't the only railcar builder on the planet. So what if they have already built other fleets? It's the same with buses. Various fleets. And how would it look bad? They've been building rail equipment for the US since the SEPTA trolleys in 1981. it would look bad for kawasaki if they built a fleet of lemons, not that they lost the 179 contract. If anything, Bombardier can use this as a redemption in a way. Truck problems in the past with both the 142s and the Acela HSR sets didn't look good for them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted October 27, 2012 Share #1013 Posted October 27, 2012 Art Vandalay was right. 65 four car sets and 8 five car sets to equal the 300 car total. http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/121029_1400_Cpoc.pdf page 13 of the document This will limit where these trains can (and likely will) go. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m7zanr160s Posted October 27, 2012 Share #1015 Posted October 27, 2012 I are disappointed. They are essentially ordering cars for one line. I guess people will be running for the train for the next 45 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted October 28, 2012 Share #1025 Posted October 28, 2012 Good call Art! I for one thought otherwise. Now my question is, where on earth would 4 full length sets go to? That's simple; to the , to get rid of the handful of 46's there (which will probably go to the as spares; especially since the will never be able to borrow from the again. ) Also says the R211's will be "Next Generation design". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
