Dj Hammers Posted January 23, 2018 Share #4951 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) And the news I couldn't speak about is finally out! From today's CPOC meeting: "A settlement has been reached between NYCT and Bombardier with respect to liquidated damages. As a result of the settlement, an additional R179 16 cars will be provided as part of this contract, increasing the quantity of 10 car trains from 4 to 12".

No. We’re getting 16 additional B cars, to make 16 additional 5 car trains, to make 8 additional 10 car trains, leading to the 4 to 12 jump in his post. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we will have 120 cars in 5-car sets and 196 cars in 4-car sets 12 5-car trains and 24.5 4-car trains hope this is enough to finally cover the requirements for NTT trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show you can't believe it till you hear it. Now, we can only wonder where (and when) the 10-car sets will wind up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it's more than enough?? Remember the R160s are going off the soon and back to ENY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subwaycommuter1983 Posted January 23, 2018 Share #4957 Posted January 23, 2018 That's good news. I just hope that these 12 10 car trains go to the A or the C. This quantity represents most of the C fleet or half of the A fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted January 23, 2018 Share #4958 Posted January 23, 2018 I guess the 16 new cars will be 3310 through 3325. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means we should start preparing those swan songs for the r42s and even some r32s. With those extra NTT's, I don't think we need so many of these old trains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. It can also go half and half. 6 trains to the and 6 to the C. I noticed that some of you mentioned in previous posts about recoupling some r179's. Will that work with the r160s?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we officially have a surplus of trains, it does make sense to have some sets go to the G, but the r68s need to go to the B, which needs more trains, especially during PM rush hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subwaycommuter1983 Posted January 23, 2018 Share #4966 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I just saw the video and it mentions that all r179's will be CBTC and they're forecasting a delivery completion by February 2019, 2 months before the Canarsie tunnel shuts down.

Well now that the and will both be 600-ft, they can SHARE fleets, just like the and . Ideally, it'd be half/half for each, though, 6 trains each. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted January 23, 2018 Share #4969 Posted January 23, 2018 If the does in fact get the R179's, expect CIY to also get the 10 car units, all 12 sets of them. No sense giving ENY,CIY and 207th-pitkin R179's. Thats 3 yards with the same equipment. Its best to have 2 yards have the R179's. I would like to see the and get these cars but its unlikely especially if the gets the R179's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup this right here confirms that the in fact would get some R32's to supplement those 8 car R179's If the gets the R179's . 132 cars is 16.5 sets, I know the runs about 13 sets but that will increase once the shutdown begins or before it. CIY would need about 64 R32's to supplement the 4 sets on the road and the rest for spares and service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted January 23, 2018 Share #4972 Posted January 23, 2018 If they keep all the SMEE's those 12 sets of 10 car R179's would be enough to give the an extension to 9th ave or bay parkway. I wouldn't be surprised if they extended the in 2019 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
