JFK Depot Posted January 10, 2017 Share #3452 Posted January 10, 2017 What are the 5 car assignments ? Is it the Q or A ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtoro7 Posted January 10, 2017 Share #3453 Posted January 10, 2017 What are the 5 car assignments ? Is it the Q or A ? Are you serious bro? The A of course. They're running a few 10 car R32s on the A line. In total there will be 5 R179 (10 car) trains running on the A line.

Fan Railer Posted January 10, 2017 Share #3454 Posted January 10, 2017 What are the 5 car assignments ? Is it the Q or A ? Remains to be seen at this point. Some sources say A, some sources say Q. We'll see what actually happens after the 30-day test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what actually happens after the 30-day test. Speaking of which, what is the testing process? We've already had the Broad Channel test track portion and the system wide clearance testing so what's next? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already had the Broad Channel test track portion and the system wide clearance testing so what's next?The 30 day non-revenue testing of the train along the line in which the train will run. This includes stopping at each station making announcements and the opening and closing of the doors opposite the platform.

trainfan22 Posted January 10, 2017 Share #3457 Posted January 10, 2017 They also gotta do the testing with the weights in the car to simulate running with a heavy load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the Mean Distance Between Failure stats... the R46 is doing better than what people think It's the R32s and 42s that really have to go The 32s for mechanical reasons... the MDBF is so bad that it's actually costs more to keep them around but compared to the issues the 42s are dealing with (leaking roofs and compromised undercarriages) they really have to go asap As soon as 12 or so 8 car trains of 179s come in... then we'll really see the end of the R42s The 32s would still remain around until the R211 order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted January 11, 2017 Share #3464 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) February?! That sounds a bit too good to be true... Probably because it is too good to be true. They have to go thru the 30-day non -revenue then the 30 day revenue. And some keep forgetting that is one little thing goes wrong, even so much as an indication light not working properly, the 30-day test starts all over again. And I don't even think they have a full 8-car set to even see service on the J/Z yet. Has the second 4-car unit come in yet?

trainfan22 Posted January 16, 2017 Share #3469 Posted January 16, 2017 I assume the 4 car set is getting the testing equipment installed on it hence why it hasn't ran yet.... but the 10 car set has just been sitting in Pikin Yard collecting dust these past couple of weeks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they test, they don't necessarily have to leave the yard limits. Just because you don't see the train in the Rockaways doesn't necessarily mean they're sitting idly on their hands not doing anything with the train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted January 17, 2017 Share #3472 Posted January 17, 2017 Yeah, they can test things like the sign displays, the HVAC system and the side doors in the yard. They can also get the "little things" done like getting the mechanics and the train crews familiarized with the train. Just getting the first trainsets to run on their own and brake successfully *is* half the battle however, and so far so good in that department, at least with the 5 car sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak41 Posted January 19, 2017 Share #3475 Posted January 19, 2017 What I'd like to see them test is a NINE car train ! (L train service could use that some day). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
