trainfan22 Posted June 18, 2019 Share #8280 Posted June 18, 2019 It felt like the 160 order went much faster than this, even when Kawasaki batch was finished and only Astom was building new 160s. Wish it was possible for the TA & Kawasaki to make the 211s come this year rather than next 😄 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when they wanna save 12.4 million dollars for cars. These R179’s are the Forever 21 to the H&M.

I'm pretty sure that those 12.4 millions that they saved are being spent doing damage control with the r179's and to maintain the the r32's until the r211's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted June 19, 2019 Share #8290 Posted June 19, 2019 That and they still don't fully trust the R179s to hold down service, which is why nothing has been retired yet. 4 hours ago, RailRunRob said: So with the shutdown not happening.

There was only one set of R46s moved to Jamaica Yard. However, I do believe that there are a couple of 10-car R32s at Pitkin. Will double check when I go to work tonight.

I guess it is normal for new trains to be taken out of service very often during the first few months of service to inspect them and address any issues. It happened with previous NTT'S. It is better to address them now and not a few years later like it happened with the r46's and r68's during the 70's and 80's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTABFan3746 Posted June 22, 2019 Share #8300 Posted June 22, 2019 Just in case anyone is looking for them, the R179s are back to back on the Line (Currently riding 3010-3019 at Howard Beach and the other one should be around Jay St (3238-3247 departed 20 minutes earlier). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
