R188 7857 Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10330 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) 7832 has this ugly white graffiti tag on it (it actually looks like a tag that would be on a train from the 80's). They used this thick white marker, and it's very noticeable from a distance. I think you should wipe that up for the . If you don't see it, then Corona might have beaten you to it. Being honest though, it's probably the biggest and worst graffiti tag I've seen on trains in awhile. Pretty sure it's gonna be cleaned up quite fast, because of how noticeable it is.

Corona needs to take better care of cleaning their trains I've been noticing that on a lot of R188s but it's probably just that carbon steel R188s won't structurally last long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10333 Posted September 1, 2015 First things first, I do help out the MTA by giving them my money fare almost everyday not knowing were that money goes too. Second, it's nice that someone helped clean a subway car as far as a good samaritan goes but like I stated before this is New York and most things don't stay nice & clean after a few days especially in a 24/7 subway system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are joking right? If you actually wasted your time wiping down a car that is going to get dirty the next day you're crazy. Hey, I loved those converted sets when they were on the and they deserve to be brand new on the , so I want to help the MTA out on their job. It's what I like to do, help people. 7832 has this ugly white graffiti tag on it (it actually looks like a tag that would be on a train from the 80's).

TheNewYorkElevated Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10338 Posted September 1, 2015 So excited about the train extension! I have a feeling a lot of railfans are gonna attend this event! But let's hope it won't end up like what happened on the R32 last year... There are gonna be news cameras there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10339 Posted September 1, 2015 I'm pretty sure Javier is trolling about cleaning that R188 car.... most times the cars on the don't have enough down time for someone to "clean" the car, and I doubt he would be silly enough the waste his own money to buy cleaning supplies for a active subway car. As for railfans misbehaving at the Hudson Yard opening, y'all do realize that event is gonna be swarming with cops, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10340 Posted September 1, 2015 As for railfans misbehaving at the Hudson Yard opening, y'all do realize that event is gonna be swarming with cops, right? By cops that means (most likely) the mayor is going to be there, as well as officials, the governor, and city politicians. Maybe even Schumer might be there for the opening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10342 Posted September 1, 2015 Corona needs to take better care of cleaning their trains I've been noticing that on a lot of R188s but it's probably just that carbon steel R188s won't structurally last long. If the carbon steel R40s could last nearly 40 years, suffering in the 70s and 80s from acid baths to remove the graffiti, what makes you think the R188s wouldn't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its more of a prediction than me just putting it out there the R40s were some rusty trains that suffered alot because of structural problems 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10344 Posted September 1, 2015 Again... because of the acid baths. If I'm not wrong, that is also why the R44s were in such bad shape, and I think the R38s and R42s as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not wrong, that is also why the R44s were in such bad shape, and I think the R38s and R42s as well. The R44s were in bad shape due to much higher levels of wear and tear, along with heavier level of mileage and vandalism, The R38s were in bad shape because they had really dirty interiors and roofs that the had to hold together with duct tape. R42s roofs look like king Kong wiped his a** on them because of the scratchiti 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3216068E Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10347 Posted September 1, 2015 The cars are STAINLESS steel That's something I wasn't expecting stainless steel doesn't rust that easily the steel on the R188s look similar to the R160s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted September 1, 2015 Share #10348 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) The reason why the Redbirds, R38, R40, R42's bodies aged so poorly is because of the acid baths from graffiti... The 188s are stainless steel just like the 32s and 46s so they bodies will hold up for 40+ years... From what I read only a handful of R44s were in bad shape, most of them was decent when they was retired... at dude saying the 42's roof looked like King Kong wiped his ass with it.
