Good explanation: The has similar equipment it used to grind the rails before service restoration on the Rockaways. You'll also hear the sound on the Culver viaduct.

MHV9218 Posted June 10, 2013 Share #3129 Posted June 10, 2013 Do any R68/As remain with halfcabs used in operation? Followup, what happened to that story a while back that the 7 was going back to all halfcabs? Moot point with the 62As going to the 6 and getting full cabs, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only R68/A cars where you could operate from a half cab is the on the Franklin since those cars are the only bastard (single) units. Everything else is in sets of 4 with the controls for the half cabs pretty much removed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followup, what happened to that story a while back that the 7 was going back to all halfcabs? Moot point with the 62As going to the 6 and getting full cabs, no? At This Point No R62As will have half width cabs maybe in the 90s if they didn't introduce full width cab it would be a different story now. Especially now that Westchesters Crew were introduced to full width cab on both sides with the R142As in 2002 their request to corona was before they can accept the R62As again for the they must be converted to full width cab on both sides and the Car numbers have to be in order, that is why R62A 2141-2145 are back on flushing and 1746-1750 replaced it Edited June 10, 2013 by R62AR33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreeddekalbL Posted June 12, 2013 Share #3132 Posted June 12, 2013 since the yankees are away and there is a soccer game at the stadium will be extra service on either the or the ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted June 12, 2013 Share #3133 Posted June 12, 2013 I'd say so. Heck, they even had extra service for away games whenever the Yankees opened the stadium for viewing parties during their '09 World Series run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m7zanr160s Posted June 13, 2013 Share #3134 Posted June 13, 2013 I got on two consecutive trains where the T/O's where blowing the horn at seemingly random times throughout the whole route, tonight. This got annoying very fast. Is there something to this, or is it just happenstance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operations command must have been really in a hurry to get those trains out into revenue service and the train crews just had no time to adjust the roll signs. Makes sense. *Assuming that these were R32 trainsets .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m7zanr160s Posted June 13, 2013 Share #3138 Posted June 13, 2013 Workers on the track? Not really new. Somebody has to inspect the tunnels. Nah, this was something different. This was consistent horn blowing with out speed restrictions. Like, pretty much blowing the horn like every two signals, or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted June 13, 2013 Share #3141 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) R32 is in service. I might get pics later if I can catch it. Nice. Also, LOL at the sudden surge of videos that have been uploaded recently. Everyone was waiting for the R32, it seems. Sh*t, I'll try too.

Makes sense. *Assuming that these were R32 trainsets .... Based on what he said, it was more than likely a 46 set. For some reason or another, that's the default code (or it seems like it is) for a malfunctioning sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted June 13, 2013 Share #3143 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Sorry realizm. It was an R46, not an R32. By the way, while waiting at 168th Street for a S/B , I witness some other teen guy getting hand-cuffed and taken away by two cops. He looked like a High School kid.

By the way, while waiting at 168th Street for a S/B , I witness some other teen guy getting hand-cuffed and taken away by two cops. He looked like a High School kid. Either beating the fare, fighting, robbery, vandalism or the kid might had an outstanding warrant for his arrest among other possibilities. Illegal drug or weapon possession, who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That R68 turned to a school car. An R42 school car also passed through Canal. Edited June 14, 2013 by GojiMet86 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted June 14, 2013 Share #3148 Posted June 14, 2013 The R68 was not a schoolcar. It was in service confirmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was in service, but it turned into a school car once it reached Coney Island. That's most likely what GojiMet86 was referring to.
