VIP Posted March 8, 2011 Share #76 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...... are you a foamer? again with the R160's on the :mad: did you not read my post? why would the MTA place only 5 train sets on the ?? huh? R46's to C.I. are you insane? Highly UN likely. Now stop trying to confuse people with your lil dreams man:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted March 8, 2011 Share #77 Posted March 8, 2011 are you a foamer? again with the R160's on the :mad: did you not read my post? why would the MTA place only 5 train sets on the ?? huh? R46's to C.I. are you insane? Highly UN likely. Now stop trying to confuse people with your lil dreams man:mad: Vinny actually a point and I was thinking about that as well. Not saying that it will happen, but the chances of seeing an R160 on the would be an interesting chance. Though, right now its too early to speculate on what might happen. We don't want certain people going crazy over certain things that might be said on here. Jamaica can't afford to send their R160s or R46s down there because the & uses a ton of trains to meet with the demand. The uses 42 or so trains for the entire line. What I was thinking (again, not saying that it will happen) is that they send some of the spare R46s over to the with some 160s down to C.I including their own train 8713-8722. The only way I can see this working out perfectly is if the is a split operation between Coney Island & Jamaica, half R46s and half R68s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted March 8, 2011 Share #78 Posted March 8, 2011 yeah i see your point, but you guys are ruling out the those R160's are enough to spare the or for its loss of R68's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Beach Posted March 8, 2011 Share #79 Posted March 8, 2011 are you a foamer? again with the R160's on the :mad: did you not read my post? why would the MTA place only 5 train sets on the ?? huh? R46's to C.I. are you insane? Highly UN likely. Now stop trying to confuse people with your lil dreams man:mad: Listen you, calm down and and dont be talking like that to me, sit back relax and take a chill pill..... I aint a foamer unlike other ppl on here, and if they wanted to place 5 sets or just a 1 set, they will do that if they need to. And thats why I said: (Highly Doubtful, R46), before attacking me next time, make sure you proof read what others said and please make sure your doing so correctly B) I aint confusing anybody, just your confused lil self... BTW, And I aint dreaming, im saying what MIGHT happen.. GOOD NIGHT Vinny actually a point and I was thinking about that as well.

Exactly, it makes sense in ways, but whatever happens, happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonanza123d Posted March 8, 2011 Share #83 Posted March 8, 2011 Oh, dear God. Can't this town go one day without a riot? This is why some discussions about a train move that is heard by railfaners is not reliable information. I amn going to tell you all what may happen. 5, 8 car sets (give or take 2) of R68s will go to the . That will be all. I will let you do the rest.

jimbob60 Posted March 9, 2011 Share #92 Posted March 9, 2011 Coney Island should have a few trains sets to spare. When the W was eliminated last June, the Q needed additional trains but not all of the trains that previously ran on the W. Net the new Q (to Astoria) and N require 5 fewer trains than the N,Q,W required. At that time CI had an R32 that is no longer used so perhaps it is only 4 extra train sets. So using 5 full length train sets of R68 (or R68a's) on the G should be doable without the need for more trains. If need be, Jamaica can send 2 sets of R160's (8713-8722 and 9143-9152) so that the split of the 1,290 R160's in 5 car sets becomes 790 Jamaica and 500 CI. The E and F can remain 100% R160 with no R160's on the R. The R can get 2 8 car sets of R46's from the G and Jam can send 5 8 car sets of R46's to Pitkin. These trains will most likely end up on the C which will lose some R32's to ENY as it appears the MTA wants to get rid of the remaining R42's there. The MTA always wanted to get rid of those cars. The only reason they could not after the last 32 R160's (9943-9974) came in was because the M was extended to Forest Hills and thus 5 more sets of M trains were needed for service. Had the M never been extended, ENY would be all R143/R160 now. Expect to see R46's and then R44's on the C in the months ahead with a small # of R32's. Some of the R32's are bad. I rode the C last week and it was a horrible ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted March 9, 2011 Share #93 Posted March 9, 2011 While I do believe in your story, 1 thing is NOT gonna happen: "and then R44's on the C" The R44's will never enter service again, except in summer when the R32 AC is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted March 9, 2011 Share #94 Posted March 9, 2011 I wonder if the MTA will borrow trains from other systems to make up for the tentative crap-out of the R32s A/C this summer. That'll be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Line1291 Posted March 9, 2011 Share #98 Posted March 9, 2011 If the have R68's it would the line would be maintained by Coney, so it could be like.... Jamaica: Coney: ( Well what can I say.... Coney Island is infact alot larger than Jamaica, so why not transfer the to Coney Has Coney Island ever maintained R46's?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
