ctrain Posted February 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2011 I was reading the 1980 to today article on NYC Subway.org and found these retirement dates that the TA released in 1981 and they are way off. The planned retirement dates for some BMT-IND equipment is even more interesting: * R-27: 1995 * R-30: 1997 * R-32: 2000 * R-38: 2002 * R-40: 2003 * R-42: 2004 * R-44: 2007 * R-46: 2011 Link: http://www.nycsubway.org/articles/history-nycta1980s.html It's close to the bottom.

Joel Up Front Posted February 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 19, 2011 The MTA got its game together after the 1980s and started maintaining everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted February 19, 2011 Share #5 Posted February 19, 2011 The R44's were retired a bit late. It was suppose to leave in 2007 they left in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted February 19, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 19, 2011 Everything from the R32s down is "late". Maintaining your property does wonders for their longevity. Who knew?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
