OK, so that matches the schedule so far as this week's set: 3194-3197. We must therefore assume that 3190-3193 arrived LAST week (December 14). Maybe 3200 will be under the agency's Christmas Tree at 130 Livingston... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted December 21, 2018 Share #6911 Posted December 21, 2018 It's four sets now. ATH is right. On another note, the is very close to losing its last sets of R32s. They're down to just two sets of R32s at ENY, and at the current rate of things, it's inevitable that the R32s will finally leave ENY within a month or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I loved riding the R32's on the for the longest of time just for nostalgia. Happy to see more R179's and NTT's entering the line however... 44 minutes ago, Around the Horn said: It should be 4 sets by my count... 3150-57 3158-3161/3166-3169 3162-3165/3170-3173 3174-81 Yup, I'm pretty sure it is four, wonder how long the R179's will last on the ?

Coney Island Av Posted December 22, 2018 Share #6913 Posted December 22, 2018 3182-3185 and 3186-3189 will most likely enter service soon since it's doing burn-in on the latter. 3190-3193, 3194-3197, and 3198-3201 were all recently delivered within a week of each other. This means there are only 48 cars (6 trains) left to be delivered for the four car sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, what's left to be delivered of the four-car sets is: 3070-3073, 3201-3245. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5-car sets needed (and possibly still need) extensive modifications. Even the original spec for 3050-3057 was different from the newest spec, which is why 3058-3065 was the first set to enter service.

More or less, that’s temporary because the plan for the train shutdown is to have trains be full length before the shutdown. So likely the will use R46’s. As for R32’s, I’m not sure what the plan is for those and I’m not in the mood to speculate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta see until April I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the plans for the C becoming full length become delayed as a result of the delays in the 5 car r179's. Let's see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
