ABQ RIDE Posted January 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2011 I was wondering, after the the R32s are retired, does anyone think the will get new R179s, or will the R179s be instead be assigned to the and/or and the will get hand-me-down R46s? I personally think the will probably get R46s, probably from the . The reason is because 207th Street Yard is the reefing yard. The didn't get any R160s, and I would be very surprised if it gets some R179s. Does anyone have their own opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2011 The R160 never found their way on the Eighth Avenue Line, because the R160's blew out the transformers on the Rockaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2011 Oh I forgot about the . The R160s were supposed to actually replace the R32's on the , and originally too, but the transformers thing again was a problem. Also don't think the R46's are going to stay for long they are suppose to leave too. To be replaced by the mythical R211. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 24, 2011 I think this is the game plan: 8 Avenue R46 R46 / few R179 (10 car sets) Jamaica Yard ALL R160 (thats what Jamaica Yard Wants) C.I. / Concourse yard will stay the same, except R179's on the (, and those leftover R68/A's to the... well... I dont know :confused: ENY Yard R160/179 R160/179 R143/160 R160/179 The R32's on the and R42's on the will be retired, R179's / R46 will take their place. the (SIR) will get R179's as well. now Im not saying any of this will happen, just what I would do.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 24, 2011 The (, and (D)'s are supposed to get their replacement cars in the 2020's. Coney Island Yard doesn't want to easily part with those R68 cars, because I think from some reading sources they are easy to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted January 24, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 24, 2011 It may never happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing an R68 or R68A on the . That might look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #10 Posted January 24, 2011 well heres what it might be like in 2025 (if were still here ) R179/R211 R179 R211 R211 R160 R160 R211 R68/A's R160/179 R143 / 160 R160 / 179 R160 / few R68A's R160 R179 / R211 Frank Av R211's When it gets built then Ill make that descision..... R179 Remember: R68/A's & R62/A's retire in 2025. Something newer than the R211's will have to replace the R62/A's... & I dont think there will be enough R211 to cover the R68's, so something for that too.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 24, 2011 Why does everyone care where the New Technology Trains are going in the first place. We aren't the . We aren't the one deciding on where the cars go, and we won't even know the contractors or the looks of these cars. Stop foaming over them, and watch where the will put them. Just sit on your horses, and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #13 Posted January 24, 2011 The R68's when the time comes would most likely head out to the open ocean, and be sunk to form artificial reefs. They will go where all subway cars went, and the R62's would also follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted January 24, 2011 Share #14 Posted January 24, 2011 hold it: new plan... Pitkin yard R46 R46 / 179 C.I. / Concourse Yard ( R179's R68's R68/A mix of R68/A, R160 & R46 ENY Yard R160 R143 / 160 R160 /179 R179 Jamaica Yard R160 R160 Alstom / seimens R160 R160 seimens / 179 (SIR) R179 I had forgotten the R160 from C.I. will go to Jamaica Yard, so there wont be enough R160 to cover the . thats where the R68/A's come in, but that still wont be enough for the . some R160 seimens will still be at C.I., and a few leftover R46 will go to C.I. to make up for the .

lilbluefoxie Posted January 24, 2011 Share #19 Posted January 24, 2011 I had forgotten the R160 from C.I. will go to Jamaica Yard. and where are you coming up with this?
