subwaycommuter1983 Posted March 21, 2018 Share #5401 Posted March 21, 2018 First clip courtesy of DJ Hammers I guess those r32's/r42's are going to the G. The second clip is on the newest set of r179's being transferred to Pitkin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they're very old cars, they need more maintenance than the rest of the subway cars. I wouldn't if it's done more than once a year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C train mess is a reflection of the bad decisions made by the MTA in regards to the r179's. And to top it off, all sets of r179's are OOS. "Bravo" MTA and Bombardier. It's not the MTA's fault. And R32's/42's are not part of this discussion guys. On 3/20/2018 at 5:46 PM, Via Garibaldi 8 said: So in other words there's a lack of R179s for service? I was wondering why they had the much older trains running on the . That explains a lot. Adding salt to the womb... They've been on the forever lol. The 179's have been testing on the and there are only 3 sets anyway. So technically as Cait Said none of that was really on topic. These trains haven't really affected or changed service in any way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted March 23, 2018 Share #5410 Posted March 23, 2018 Earlier tonight I seen one of the 179 sets being moved around ENY yard, eventually, it went inside the barn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s atrocious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those trains are in so bad shape as well as some r32's. And we are getting extra r179's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may look like trap but they still run good to me, their HAVC works good, etc. Railfans in recent years seem to over react as to how bad the 42s really are.

However, that will not account for the boost in service on the line, nor will it make up for any other service increases, like the current push for 10-car trains and "full-length" trains. While not optimal, the 42s -still function well enough that they can be retained in order to ensure service can be made through the duration of the tunnel closure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAlam Posted March 23, 2018 Share #5415 Posted March 23, 2018 Any word when the R179's will go back in service? It seems quite odd 3 set would go into service and then get completely pulled from service like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much more vandalized and feels like their rusty tin can frame will fall apart at any moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I still fail to see how 5 measly sets of R42s do anything to help. There will be a surplus of 480-ft trains once the R179s all arrive, more than enough to push the R160As to the and make the all R179 during the shutdown. And, like you mention, the will give a few of its sets to the , effectively rendering number of train sets a non-issue for the Eastern division and Now, lets assume some R32s go to CI and end up on either the or supplement R160s. The 68s from the and move to the , and the give up a few R160s to Jamaica. Jamaica then gives some R46s to the , and once the 10-car R179s arrive, so does the , effectively making the "full length." Again, where do the ancient R42s play a role? This is the scenario I envision, though I could very well be mistaken, hopefully not though lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted March 24, 2018 Share #5420 Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) The is getting the majority of the R32's while the is getting some (40-60 cars) The going full length by having 80-100% R46. The R42's will likely go to the as well. The 12 sets of 10 car R179's will be on the alongside the R32's and R46's with 3 sets of R42's. The is TBD at this point but its rumored to be 8 car R179's or R160A-1's with 8 car R32's. ENY is currently receiving the R179's first with the 3 sets in service as of now. Plus if most or all the 60 foot smees are on the (A), It would require a high spare factor thus keeping the R42's until the shutdown is over.

Keep in mind the A has more subway cars than the C. Therefore, if all C trains consist of full length r46's, the A will still have r46's in addition to the r179's and r32's. The question will be what would happen to the r68's on the G. It should go to the B or D trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
