The J got all the r160's that was displaced to the C in addition to the 12 8 car r179's. Does the J really need all those 8 car trains (r160's, r143's, and r179's), especially now that Canarsie shutdown has been changed? In my opinion, No, although the M still needs a few more trains. The MTA needs to do something in regards to the surplus of 8 car trains. The G will be the only option once the C becomes full length with the r211's. With the getting a service boost, they need the surplus of R160's at ENY yard. The R143's are unreliable, spare factor has grown because of it. The R42's would likely go to Coney island as originally planned or storage. With the getting a service boost as well, it's obvious the R46's at pitkin (13 trains worth) are being pushed out. It's ether Jamaica getting them to push out more 160's to CI or directly to Coney island for service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell if the money for congestion pricing will really go to the MTA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes or like @R32 3838 the G will get the 8 car r160's from ENY and ENY gets the remaining 8 car r179's from the C. It could happen either way, but the G will definitely get 8 car trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we need is for ENY to get more R179s since everything there seems to get scratched up or vandalized in one way or another. The newest subway cars deserve better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ether Jamaica getting them to push out more 160's to CI or directly to Coney island for service. The R143’s ARE reliable and NO R46’s are leaving Pitkin. NO car transfers are happening until R211’s pass passenger testing and is in full time service. If you don’t work in RTO in the B division, don’t assume, that’s how rumors and unnecessary banter starts. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdbf says otherwise with the R143's If Coney island is getting R46's from Jamaica they'll need more due to spare factor. Pitkin or 207th is going to loose something. There's a surplus of R32's at 207th right now. With 12 more R179 10 car units coming, something has to move. It's logical for the R46's to move and it won't be much anyway. Again common sense, if the goes full length then the 8 car 179's are moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 20, 2019 Share #7995 Posted April 20, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if 207th keeps 3070 - 3073... so they have an spare 4 car set. If not, out of 11 trainsets I would imagine only 8 or 9 sets would be in service on the at most with the other cars as spares or getting inspected in the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that indeed happens, I'd assume 3238-47 would be on the test track in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
