TheNewYorkElevated Posted July 31, 2015 Share #9901 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) If it's an R62A with a half width cab, you are just as entitled to it as you would be on a 32 or 42. But is it really okay to do it on an full cab R62/R62A (especially on the back of other subway cars like the 32 or 42s)?

ttcsubwayfan Posted July 31, 2015 Share #9902 Posted July 31, 2015 It's not disallowed, but it's up to the driver whether he wants to be vindictive and block your view with a coat or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted July 31, 2015 Share #9903 Posted July 31, 2015 Oh okay. What about doing a RFW on the back of an R32/42/62/62A? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3216068E Posted July 31, 2015 Share #9907 Posted July 31, 2015 It's not disallowed, but it's up to the driver whether he wants to be vindictive and block your view with a coat or not. I hear that, I've ran into many d**k head drivers who like to hold the open with their foot and not let anyone see out the RFWs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sovetskii52 Posted July 31, 2015 Share #9908 Posted July 31, 2015 I have not posted or read anything in the "Random Thoughts Topic" thread so sorry if this has been discussed. Question: I have a basic Metrocard because I only use 6 trips per week. The card has an expiration date (December 31st, 2015). If my card still has money on it but I am not planning on using it until 2016 can I walk up to one of the station agent windows in a station and ask him/her to transfer the remaining money onto a new Metrocard? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because it's eight thousand degrees in the cab and cramped as hell. It's not usually a vindictive decision. Just enjoy the view of the operations with the open door! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted August 1, 2015 Share #9916 Posted August 1, 2015 Why is this such a big deal? I could understand if the swap was between two very different cars, but everyone's freaking out over one type of car being swapped out for a nearly identical type of car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted August 1, 2015 Share #9917 Posted August 1, 2015 Lol an R143 and an R160 look similar to me. That's like a 1996 RTS running on a Quill route. I've noticed that the has been using more R160's as of lately. Is that because they want more R46's to be outside on the . I counted 4 R46's on the and I usually only see one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted August 1, 2015 Share #9923 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Wow, 6 pages worth of posts on the R143 in the last 12 hours.I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised when a CCY R68 ran on the on Monday and the conquestors got so excited that they SET THE TRAIN ON FIRE (or last year when an R32 was on the and they decided to steal the rollsign box from THAT train).....I can only imagine what kind of damage is being done to that R143 set right now.... There's that. Also, aren't tower controllers responsible for setting the switches? The T/O may have been at fault for not clearing this up with the tower (DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RTO OPERATIONS, I AM MERELY GUESSING BASED ON WHAT AVAILABLE INFO I HAVE), but he has no control over the actual positions of the switches. A wrong lineup isn't considered a wrong lineup until it is accepted by the train operator. There's a reason that home signals have different aspects depending on the direction of the switch.
