RollOver Posted August 22, 2012 Share #801 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) NYCT have people called engineers who, if needed, can figure out how, design, and built a second track, with proper money allocated. And as far as NTTs on Fulton, according to East New York's post, who is very credible in my book, stated the preliminary plan is to have 179s on the A and C. Until it's proven otherwise, everyone else's assumption is mute unless your higer up or have an even more credible source. Just because one fleet got moved to 207 four years ago to die doesn't mean that it's where all cars go nor does it nullify that line to get NTTs. Where were the R40M's when they were retired? The32s, 38s and 44s were already assigned to 207 when theybwent bye bye. That was coincidence. How was that coincidence?......... 207th is home to the cars that are at the end of their careers. And I am pretty sure MTA NYCS train conductor Snowblock said so, according to here at [http://www.nyctransi..._40#entry569612] And IRT fleets have nothing to do with the scheduling of retiring B-division cars. *sign* Read my last post on the previous page again, I NEVER said that! I said how would making the being based out of 207th solve anything? Shouldn't 207th focus on retiring old subway cars? The has 240th yard and the 137th lay up tracks......

Far Rock Depot Posted August 22, 2012 Share #802 Posted August 22, 2012 R211 replacing 46s are still not written in stone. 179s were to replace the 44s and he sir 44s. 44s got scrapped early, replaced by 46s. SIR isn't going to get 179s. It's one thing to pay attention. It's another to follow the mob and already bring up 211s. As far as a credible source within the MTA, once again, the plan to now is to have them for Fulton and jamaica lines. Now how are you going to go around mentioning a contract, that hasn't even been written up, cause the engineers haven't wrote up the specs yet, because others, who most don't even work for the mta or probably aren't even out of high school yet, say so, against the info of someone who we have all know to be THE person who always takes the time to pass us credible info? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted August 22, 2012 Share #803 Posted August 22, 2012 Sure 207 is where trains go to die. They get scrapped there. Shipped off on barges from there. But name me one fleet other than the 40 slants that were purposely moved there to die? And comments like snowblock's "go to die" remark I've heard before. From long time friends who are employees wih the MTA. It's called an inside joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T to Dyre Avenue Posted August 22, 2012 Share #805 Posted August 22, 2012 I find it cheesy and highly unlikely for the 207th to be the home for the , unless it shares with the . Chances are for the fleet to still use older trains so they can retire the day they die at 207th. Cheesy? How would it be "cheesy" if 207th became the new home for the train? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted August 22, 2012 Share #806 Posted August 22, 2012 I could see the yard switch being TEMPORARY while 240th gets work done.

Art Vandelay Posted August 22, 2012 Share #809 Posted August 22, 2012 The R40s and R44s were never assigned to 207 in recent history. The R38 is the only fleet assigned there to be retired recently. R32s were retired out of Jamaica, with a few retired from Coney Island, Pitkin, and 207. The R40Ss were retired from Pitkin and Coney Island. The R40Ms were retired from Pitkin and Jamaica (perhaps a few were pulled when assigned to Coney Island, but I do not recall such occurring), and the R42s were directly retired from damn near everywhere, with the exception of concourse. The R44s were entirely based out of Pitkin. 207th street shop which provides the A/C with 222 R32s has absolutely NOTHING to do with the retirement of subway cars. IINM it isn't even the actual location cars were stripped prior to reefing. I believe all that was done by the overhaul shop, but I could be mistaken as I have not been there in many years. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe C Posted August 22, 2012 Share #812 Posted August 22, 2012 There's only one trackway that leads to 207th yard from the IRT B'way/7 Av Line, so no. The 207th yard is the 's home while Pitkin's home are the & RPS ... Just because there is one trackway from the going to 207th St yard doesn't mean a thing,that yard is big enough to maintain the lines subway cars alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted August 24, 2012 Share #819 Posted August 24, 2012 Alright already guys, I'm sorry okay?...... Whatever............ I'm just forgetting this and just moving on with my life and only caring for what's more important in my life since all these trains and buses are the 's so now I don't care what they do. As we all have a life and a family as well as our own things, aaaaand on top of that if you adults don't like kids like me then why do you or I care? I may be a troll, foamer, etc but that doesn't stop me from being who I am, a human and nothing more. This is a public forum and it's indeed true that everyone does have different views but at the same time we do learn from our mistakes. So weather I'm "imature" and "foam" as some here are saying (not just only here in this thread) and whatever kind of generation you have, I for one don't judge based on age and environment. I simply get to know them first, socially. When I grow up, I'll be an adult too but also reflect back on how I was treated when I was young. This is just opinion.

RollOver Posted August 25, 2012 Share #825 Posted August 25, 2012 The only reason why the wants the to use R179s and for East New York Yard to continue maintaining a third car type is because the is the only line assigned R32s (depending on the season of course.....) and that the R143 fleet is a low order with only 212 cars (regardless, the ridership still increased hugely and needed more trains besides the R143s and its 64 R160s) which had resulted in some R160s being sent for the from the .
