Grand Concourse Posted March 12, 2011 Share #26 Posted March 12, 2011 Yup. Well I still think the is about the same as the (Mx) since the (Mx) went to Bay Pkwy. It's just that now the new is 18/5 for the whole route compared to like ~4-6/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanatic Posted March 12, 2011 Share #27 Posted March 12, 2011 I'm just going to throw this out, but why would that be a problem for them to run on both the (J)/(Z) lines even with AC issues? The majority of that line is elevated and I don't see how that could be a significant issue. Actually it would be a problem for a train to have non-working ACs during the summer. It doesn't matter where it is. If it's almost 100 degrees out, humid, with no winds, opening a window wouldn't do any justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted March 12, 2011 Share #32 Posted March 12, 2011 The ran 10-car trains in the summer time, the R33 singles were left in the yard. I don't remember the final years if they ran in service in the summer or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob60 Posted March 12, 2011 Share #33 Posted March 12, 2011 If the 7 ran 11 car trains and 1 of the 11 had no a/c it would be pretty easy to move to a car with a/c. But if no cars have a/c that is a different story. Also, the 7 cars without a/c's had fans. There is a big difference between riding in a car that does now have an a/c unit and riding in a car with an a/c unit that does not work or worse yet blows hot air. I have been riding the subway on a regular basis since the early/mid 70's when less than 1/2 the trains had a/c units. The IRT had no cars with a/c units til around 1980 or so and it was not til 1984 when R62's first came into service on the 4 train that there was cars with decent a/c. Back then cars without a/c units had overhead fans and doors between cars were usually kept open to circulate air. Without increased safety and liability concerns, I don't think doors between cars could be kept open nowdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted March 12, 2011 Share #34 Posted March 12, 2011 The did run 10-car trains regularly during the summer months. A fan circulating hot air is still unbareable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 12, 2011 Share #35 Posted March 12, 2011 It doesn't make sense replacing some old R - 42s with some older R - 32s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted March 12, 2011 Share #36 Posted March 12, 2011 Depends on the situation. I do agree with the OP's point being the R32s have the same c/r marker as the R160s. Plus the R32s, body wise, are in better shape. Otherwise, I wouldn't put much stock in such a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m7zanr160s Posted March 13, 2011 Share #37 Posted March 13, 2011 The ran R33WF until they retired in 2003 and they had no AC. I just really don't see any bit of difference from that. Here is the really strange thing about all of this. Why was this thread made in the first place? The R42s aren't going any where for the next couple of years and the same goes for the R32s. If everything went according to plan concerning car retirement, shouldn't we be getting new cars this year; the 44's are 40, now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lance25 Posted March 13, 2011 Share #41 Posted March 13, 2011 In '81, when cars were breaking down left and right, the TA didn't expect their cars to last very long obviously. Like I said before, it's amazing how long your equipment can last when they're maintained regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted March 13, 2011 Share #43 Posted March 13, 2011 I agree, because those were retired, there was a shortage in Eastern div [R143s were able to 'close the gap']. Pity they couldn't have been kept for winter times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
