SubwayGuy Posted March 17, 2011 Share #35 Posted March 17, 2011 All R10-R42s can operate in service together. The IRT was a prime example as you would see trains mixed with R12-36 cars up until the 1980s that is. Even after the 1980s R26/28/29/33s were mixed with each other. The BMT/IND you had R16-R42s that did mix together. R10s did mix with other SMEE cars, but did not happen very often though. http://images.nycsubway.org/i5000/img_5444.jpg Credits go to David Pirmann. However within that, cars in the "redbird" series with different propulsion packages (GE vs. WH) frequently did not intermix due to performance issues even though it could be done.

Spot on. The idea was to mix cars with the same propulsion packages. A yard would rather be short a train or two rather than mix the equipment GE-WH. They tried to give each yard either GE or Westinghouse equipment when it was possible. IIRC Lenox yard in the IRT ran all types of equipment with 240th yard and 239th yard being the main repair barns because we didn't have one of our own back in the day.

Roadcruiser1 Posted March 18, 2011 Share #41 Posted March 18, 2011 I am just curious, but can the R32's, and the R38's run on a mix set too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if the TA decided they wanted the R-32 hook up to to a R-42 tomorrow??everybody on this board will lose their mind if they see this....hell will actually freeze over!

CTK246 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share #48 Posted March 28, 2011 This begs the question, since the R143 has only the (Mx) programmed in, if an R160 was being used as a C/R car, if the program would be compatible with the R143...but of course, the ONLY way possible for this set to see service would be on the , because having FINDs and strip maps is just too confusing.

Guest lance25 Posted March 28, 2011 Share #49 Posted March 28, 2011 The programs would probably be incompatible because of the different technologies used in each car class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
