trainfan22 Posted October 8, 2015 Share #10751 Posted October 8, 2015 My bad if this was mentioned before but why does the never use R46's unlike the and ? I've seen them on the a few times years ago but you'd think since they come out the same yard they would use them. Even when Jamaica had R32's that ran mostly on the it still never used R46's on a norm and the was primarily R46 at the time. I know the uses whatever is available and sometimes you're lucky to catch a R160. Why is Jamaica set up like that in the first place? 60 Foot cars handle the crowds better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same route and the train looks at the date and time to know what trains are and aren't running 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3238 RFW Posted October 8, 2015 Share #10772 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Took a visit to the new station this past weekend ridership looks very low especially on the weekends I hope that they can create more jobs on that side b of Manhattan so ridership can grow that's the purpose of the station anyway, right?

Monday would be the first game in Flushing, and it's highly likely we'll see the "train of many colors" then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
