They can still go to the and have the run R46s and 10 car R32s, move the 8 car R179s to ENY, and move the R160s to the . Or the R46s can be kept as spares until the R211s come in. Either way, we have to see what happens when all the R179s arrive. The MTA "opted against lengthening G trains, as originally planned" (AMNY). The MTA confirmed this information to the media.

I'm saying that in the distant future I believe some R32s should stay around for lengthening the at the very least. And this is plans for the shutdown effective the end of April. Nothing said about the end of the year or rather by fall 2019, when all R179s should be on property. Again, let's see what happens.

I’m sure if they wanted to do that, it would have happened already. They didn't do it yet due to the R179 issues and etc. Once all the R179's are in then you'll probably see 10 car R32/179's with full length R46's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a matter of when and how. The MTA has been changing a lot of plans. 6 months ago we all thought that the C would have a full fleet of full length r46's by now and the 8 car r179's on the C caught a lot of people by surprise. So things are still subject, but I think that by the spring we'll get a better idea in terms of car assignments.

Recently, the lone 10-car set was placed into service as of late. 162 cars = 3050-3069, 3074-3205, 3010-3019 delivered through December 28. That's all confirmed. Am unable to establish proof that there have been deliveries since then as yet. If not, there's a hold--and more delays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted February 16, 2019 Share #7532 Posted February 16, 2019 Has no one been keeping track of what times this thing leaves the terminals? Chances are, it's going to rum the same schedule every weekday. This would not only allow us no know where the train is, but eliminate everyone asking all damn day! You guys are railfans! This is what railfans do! Before the net, this is how we found trains. Terminals only. We can use the actual published shcedule to make the timepoints along the line. But someone has to say "hey, it's thr blah blah blah out of 207. Amd keep track of it front there. Someone go back in this thread and find the times from Sunday so atleast this Sunday every other post won't be "where it's at? " 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's what they usually do. Twice this week I got to Rockaway from work passing it going to pitkin. They would have one schedule for weekdays, one for Saturday and one for Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around not long passed this time, I've passed it twice this week leaving Rockaway OOS. When I respond to a post in particular, I quote it, for future record.

U-BahnNYC Posted February 16, 2019 Share #7540 Posted February 16, 2019 3 hours ago, MysteriousBtrain said: Why not? As soon as all R179s are on property, there are more than enough cars to make at least 22 full length sets. Assuming all R42s and at least half of the R32s go, that's about 10 sets that can stay for the . Might as well use them to their advantage. Also remember that because Cuomo tampered with the shutdown future assignments have to change up for now. As soon as all R179s hit service, hopefully the can turn full length. Yes but with the shutdown no longer a thing, there probably isn't a push to get full-length trains. In that case, the can continue to be a mix of R32s, R46s and R179s (8-car) while the 10-car R179s are exclusively on the since, we can all agree, it needs them the most. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule is NOT exact and is just an estimate. The trains don't always leave at the same time every day, which is why I put a slash for the times on some trips. And those trips highlighted in red are impossible so that's a very uncertain time frame. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted February 16, 2019 Share #7550 Posted February 16, 2019 Honestly, the reason why people are always saying "where's the R179 ?" is because they don't wanna be stuck waiting at a specific station for a long time just for the train to arrive/pass by, especially since the is the longest line there is. But yeah, it does get annoying when the pages of this thread are cluttered with these types of statements. I have a few solutions to this problem: -Waiting at Chambers St or Fulton St. It's in the middle of the line, so it'll take the same amount of times to catch it coming from Queens/Brooklyn and/or Inwood-207 St. -Asking friendly transit personnel who work the to get word of where it is/and its intervals. -Riding an R46 or R32 either uptown or downtown to see if it passes the R179 heading in the opposite direction. If you see the R179 heading in the aforementioned direction while on the R32/R46, you can get off at the next stop and chase after the former on another . -Be patient and wait until the other 13 10-car sets are all delivered and placed into service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
