Priincenene Posted August 29, 2015 Share #10276 Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think the R32s can be even in fresh pond yard because 2 car drill in Fresh Pond Yard isn't feasible until they bring back the handswitchman job I think they will only be based out of ENY Maybe not R32's but maybe R143's still can be stored in Fresh Pond because remember they once ran on the Myrtle Line. If my theory is incorrect, no problem, you can go from ENY via the at Bway Junction then via the at Myrtle-Broadway and theres your set on the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted August 29, 2015 Share #10278 Posted August 29, 2015 I heard the R143 might, not saying they will, go on the in Sept along with an R32 too. If that happens, im assuming more R160's from FRESH POND Yard will go on the and the swapping with Canarsie (R143) and ENY yard (R32), since Fresh Pond is a small yard comparing to East New York Yard. So maybe like this: R32 ENY Yard set > Swap with Fresh Pond Yard's R160 set(s) R143(s) Canarsie > Swap with Fresh Pond's 160(s) IF it were to happen, this is my theory of how the swaps go. The and don't have to swap since they share with East New York Yard more often than the does, and ENY has its own R143's the use. You do realized only 8313-8376 are the only R160s CBTC equipped therefore anything above that cannot run on the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else do you think the can't run R32s and R42s? The only part of the that can run non CBTC equipped cars Is between Broadway Junction and Carnise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted August 29, 2015 Share #10283 Posted August 29, 2015 I heard the R143 might, not saying they will, go on the in Sept along with an R32 too. If that happens, im assuming more R160's from FRESH POND Yard will go on the and the swapping with Canarsie (R143) and ENY yard (R32), since Fresh Pond is a small yard comparing to East New York Yard.

The and don't have to swap since they share with East New York Yard more often than the does, and ENY has its own R143's the use. Fresh Pond yard isn't even its own stand-alone yard. Fresh Pond, along with Canarsie are satellite yards to the larger ENY Yard So you telling me a CBTC equipped R143 (or 160) can run PERFECTLY on the and an R160 non-CBTC cannot on the ? Yes. You can run a CBTC equipped car on a non-CBTC line by simply turning off the CBTC in the car (CBTC Bypass). They do it all the time on the . You can't run a non-CBTC car on a CBTC line without throwing off the entire line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted August 29, 2015 Share #10284 Posted August 29, 2015 Aren't the rest (or some more) of the R160s at ENY getting CBTC installed so that way the dosen't experience a shortage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could not mess with the L and just send some non CBTC trains equipped to the M. If this swap is indeed happening, which I still refuse to buy into. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've never noticed flickering lights on an R62 and it is acceptable it just probably means that the LED maintenance man are not doing their job right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted August 29, 2015 Share #10292 Posted August 29, 2015 Did the R62 always have flickering lights? If so, how is that acceptable? Acceptable? A lot of the old school cars lights in the whole car went out on 3rd rail gaps, it only happens partially on the 62s, it even happens on 142s if it goes over a 3rd rail gap slow enough, usually coming into Flatbush. Happens on some of the line's 68's as well. From what I noticed the 62s only started doing that in recent years... never recalled them doing it on the in the late 90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
