RollOver Posted July 3, 2013 Share #3331 Posted July 3, 2013 They don't have enough 60 foot cars to make the full length unless you do that R46/R32 swap. Plus, the doesn't see the needing full length trains - meaning it can handle the amount of people who use it on Central Park West, 8th Avenue and Fulton Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted July 3, 2013 Share #3332 Posted July 3, 2013 Is it just me or are the 60th Street tubes becoming the new Montague? It seems like every day, some kind of signal problems keep occurring at Lexington Av-59 St. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the doesn't see the needing full length trains - meaning it can handle the amount of people who use it on Central Park West, 8th Avenue and Fulton Street. there's enough cars its just each barn needs their spares, if the was full length with 18 trains of R32s that's 180 out of 222 cars leaving 42 cars as spares and that's not enough cars for spares 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted July 3, 2013 Share #3339 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) There are 13 sets of R32s and 5 sets of R42s on the and You mean 6 sets of R42s (half run on the and the other half run on the ). Remember there are only 48-50 R42s left at the East New York Yard in Brooklyn. Since I got nothing better to do than to fan in the subway all summer long starting in July 8 (I finished school by June 26 and now have summer school starting on July 8), are the R32s running more than the R160A-1s or the crews still uses the latter more than the former?

itmaybeokay Posted July 4, 2013 Share #3347 Posted July 4, 2013 Is it just me or are the 60th Street tubes becoming the new Montague? It seems like every day, some kind of signal problems keep occurring at Lexington Av-59 St. I've noticed that too, although I don't think it's like montague. I don't think the 60th st tube flooded at all. That and 63rd I think were the only ones fully spared, besides the Harlem river tubes. Possibly the Steinway tubes as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and 63rd I think were the only ones fully spared, besides the Harlem river tubes. Possibly the Steinway tubes as well. Yep, that's correct, I remember this too. Those two tunnels were unaffected, untouched. But the Steinway Tubes were flooded up to the ceiling. Unsure about the Harlem Tubes, I'm not sure, the press I don't believe neither the MTA commented on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
