IAlam Posted June 12, 2018 Share #6003 Posted June 12, 2018 So I was taking the and the train went BIE causing it to be delayed. After Broadway Jct the train went express so the C/R changed the FIND system to show all the stops skipped as “Will Not Stop.” Apperently in the R179’s even if the train won’t stop there it stays on the FIND until the train passes the station. Unlike the R160 which just deletes all the stops that the train skips. Lead car was 3089 train and it went OOS at Jamaica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's OOS entirely, the LCD screen also displays "Route Change: This map is not in use." 4 minutes ago, Calvin said: 3134-3135 on its way to NYC I know it's been asked a lot, but are there any updates on 3070-3077? I understand they probably needed to make modifications, but how many modifications were necessary given that it's a production set? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised the five-car sets still haven't entered service as of yet. I heard they're going through modifications instead of testing. But good to hear that what is currently 48 in regular passenger service on the will become 56 in regular passenger service on said line.

They went up to Bombardier a few months ago and they might also be doing tests there since the MTA is short on resources (which was one of the reasons they're doing the mods at Bombardier). Either way, the priority is the 4-car sets, so the production 5-car sets likely won't be built under the bulk of the 4-car sets are done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAlam Posted June 18, 2018 Share #6011 Posted June 18, 2018 Interestingly enough the R179's aren't pushing off the R143's on the line, I saw one running yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, some r32's will have to stay on the due to the fact that not enough 10 car r179s were ordered, but the r32's that do get displaced from the A would most likely go to the or 🇨🇿🍶 Edited June 19, 2018 by subwaycommuter1983 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that the shutdown will free up some more cars to run in service on the rest of the BMT Eastern Division. All 222 R32s will either stay on the or be retired when all is said and done.

Point blank. The does not need ALL 222 r32's. The will still keep much of its r46's in addition to all 10 car r179's. The doesn't need all the r46's from the to cover its entire fleet. As for the remaining r32's and r42's. Not much is going to happen once all r179s are in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs about over half. 144 service cars + 40 spare cars. That’s about over half of the R46s being pulled off the for the like the Summers of 2011/12.

Therefore, the will only need about 70 r32's and they might only run during rush hour to the Rockaways. The rest of the r32's?? They might not run anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they will stay, but they will run on a very limited capacity (rush hour). The r211's will arrive right after the reconstruction of the Canarsie tunnel. Before, we continue to speculate, we need to keep in mind the number of trains that are needed for each line and the number of subway cars that will be available once all r179s are in service. And yes, there will be a surplus!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B Division has been operating with a car shortage since 2010... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
