Harry Posted July 19, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2007 The is still using the R40. There's at least still one in use that I've been seeing. It was actually a faster ride than the R68/160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastman346 Posted July 19, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2007 How many R40s do you think the N has running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted July 19, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 19, 2007 How many R40s do you think the N has running? One or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted July 19, 2007 I would have guessed one. I believe this train had the same number as the one from 2 weeks ago or so. I didn't take note of the number then but this time I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted July 20, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2007 In relation, I heard that there are more R68(A)s on the W now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted July 22, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 22, 2007 Plenty of slants still on the B. If theres only 1 left on the N, and a couple of em on the W, then the B def has the majority of the systems R40'S... I dun even see R68'S/A'S on the B anymore... I take the B everyday ( well M-F lol ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Local Posted July 26, 2007 Share #10 Posted July 26, 2007 Hey Harry The W train is currently using only 9 train sets ( according to my knowledge), the B on the other hand has at least i would say 23 - 25 sets. The B is 97% R40 Slant, and the other 3 % is R40M/R42's.. No R68/R68A'S on the B in the past 2 months at least. I ride the B everyday, nothing lol... and i have no clue where those mysterious R32 B train sets went to.. i heard they went to Pitkin yard. o well.. now the biggest thing is this R42 A train.......................

The last time I rode a R68A on the B was back in May when I was still going to school. Too bad those R32s dissappeared from the B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1Toasty Posted August 22, 2007 Share #15 Posted August 22, 2007 Unfortunately the R160 is set to eliminate a lot, if not all, of trains such as the R32/38/40(nooooo)/etc. I really don't wanna see the old trains go, but it's inevitable I suppose... you begin to see them diminish in numbers, and then there's one (redbirds anyone) and we all take videos and pictures and make videos and put them on youtube. Too bad trains get old (but they have a good 40 years), but that's why we have the transit museum, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
