Roadcruiser1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share #52 Posted March 7, 2011 I think it is most likely going to be 4 car sets, but you never know. I personally think they should be 8 car sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted March 7, 2011 Share #53 Posted March 7, 2011 if the got R68s would they be using 4 or 8 car sets? When the gets the R68s, it will be only 4 cars per train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Train Master Posted March 8, 2011 Share #56 Posted March 8, 2011 An 8 car R42 cannot run on those lines in service as the conductor boards do not line up and will only line up if it stops all the way at the 10 which would leave a large empty space at the end of the platform. This would cause people to run and get injured which is why the Slants Mods and 42s stopped running on the a long time ago. They can and there's nothing to be proved.Samething with an R-46 it can run on Brighton but its very unlikely.And yea I know that's the reason why Slant/Mod/42 didn't run on the for long.

Well no... They retired them but there bringing them back because the R32's have problems during the summer. So really the plan was to retire them but, the R32's are acting funky because of there age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted March 8, 2011 Share #58 Posted March 8, 2011 I don't really like the idea of hearing the R44's return. Especially due to the problems the cars have, and how the fiberglass, and carbon ends are holding up. They aren't doing so well themselves.

A bunch of R32's should be going to storage because the of A/C problems. So the R44's will do the job until the end of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTK246 Posted March 8, 2011 Share #63 Posted March 8, 2011 doesn't look good on the R160. Also an R68A train would be boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvega961 Posted March 8, 2011 Share #64 Posted March 8, 2011 Yea the rock inside your moms pants oh wait thats called a kooche Again...did you NOT READ what Zach put??? and pretty immature don't you think? Can anybody shed some light on this? As I read elsewhere, that the might become a Coney Island Based Train, and R68s might take over the route fully? :tdown: Lets keep this discussion at a MATURE level please.. Anyways...R68 on the isn't a bad idea...Hopefully it doesn't delay the Culver B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't feel safe or and trust them then don't ride them.Its not like 8 sets of 44's can cover the .I trust these cars even with their structural problems they got me to my destination just don't think bad about them if you do don't get on just stay the f**k off.

TwoTimer Posted March 8, 2011 Share #68 Posted March 8, 2011 I think those few R160s the uses will be a thing of the past, they'll be back on the or again. 160s may not make it uptown as Concourse as far as I know does not have the necessary equipment to fix 160s, remember new barns were built/remodeled at Jamaica and Coney for the 160s. It would be a logistical nightmare to have 160s on a line and only one place to service them. Also remember, its not like you need a huge number of trains to run on the , each 68/68A set you take makes two trains. I think it'll stay mostly R46 with some R68 making their way over. The 68A on the might disappear as well, and the may again become 100% 160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted March 8, 2011 Share #69 Posted March 8, 2011 Sea beach told me this about a week ago, June 26, 2011, R68/A are suposed to go on the . Now I dunno if its R68 or R68A or both, but whatever it is its going to be interesting B) I guess Im going to have to catch as many and shots as I can! :cool: But hold it... If the is no longer going to be a JY, that means some R46 wont be needed. So will those R46 be sent to C.I. to run on the , or sent to the which will bump out the R32's... and if the R32's are bumped out, where will they go? the ? :confused: anyway Before Sea Beach Actually told me, I thought it was just another foamtastic idea, like the R32's on the .

VIP Posted March 8, 2011 Share #73 Posted March 8, 2011 well if the gets R68/R68A's the R46's would be placed on the thus meaning the 3 to 5 spares of R160's wont run on the anymore. Jamaica would most likely then send out 9143-9192 to C.I. to fill the gap on the cuz on the it runs 5 R68 sets and if the stays at 4 car sets, the R68's will equal 10 sets of 4. as for R46's to pitkin or 207st? Most likely Wont happen...they have enough R46 spares. also there is no need to bump off R32's why do you think there are 240 R32's with the only using 180? simply because it leaves room to retire certain cars if they're performing really badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Beach Posted March 8, 2011 Share #74 Posted March 8, 2011 Well since the runs 5 sets of R68 and the would require 10 sets which are coming off the , its gonna be short 5 sets, which are gonna have to come off the , which means the is now gonna need 5 more sets, meaning its gonna get 5 sets of R160, or (Highly Doubtful, R46) This summers gonna be very interesting......
