I was at Broadway Junction during the pm counting the put ins in which 2 of them were R32s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R62A's don't have A/C's that function well or at all in the summer, and the has the most amount of trains with broken A/C's, the not far behind. This is why there's been numerous R142's have been assigned to during certain points from the . So that train's A/C's can be fixed.

It's troubling that we're dealing with the same issues that have plagued both lines for years now, and quite frankly I think the has the cars with the most problems, not just with the AC, but in general. Now at least we haven't been seeing long waits like we were several months ago, but cars without air conditioning in the dead of summer seems unacceptable. If they're pulling these trains to fix them, they should address things like AC at that time.

trainfan22 Posted July 12, 2018 Share #19087 Posted July 12, 2018 The reason the 62A A/C sucks is because they only have one compressor per car due to them being as built as singles and when that lone compressor overheats and shuts off = no A/C. Married pairs have two compressors due to not all of the underbody equipment being stuffed in one car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted July 12, 2018 Share #19088 Posted July 12, 2018 I read an article from the New York Post couple days ago talking about R62A 1872 being the hottest car to receive the most complaints and it is to be taken out of service for extensive A/C repairs. This car was recently SMS'ed as well as alot of the R62As on the . They really need to get it together with this subway fleet considering the day in age that where currently in. So far this summer I've been on some rotten/garbage R62As with no A/C and horrible interior lighting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68OnBroadway Posted July 13, 2018 Share #19089 Posted July 13, 2018 Was on the about two weeks ago and every car I was in had no A/C... I wonder how happy train crews and summer commuters will be when the 62A replacement cars come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 13, 2018 Share #19090 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) The R46 as well doesn't work well with A/C during the summer. Usually, a wood is stuck on the slide door. Anyways, the I rode last week has A/C but slightly feel the breeze. Edited July 13, 2018 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be too long... Just have to scale down the R211 specs to IRT size. I personally would be surprised if they haven't put out an RFP by 2021, especially if Byford is serious about accelerating CBTC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted July 13, 2018 Share #19095 Posted July 13, 2018 I think they're going a little overboard with this ESI plan...11 stations are/will be closed this month. They should have at least shut down one station on CPW max. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The museum crowds will be back in full force once the summer is over and on weekends those stations can be unbearable with those damn tourists. Both 72nd and 86th desperately needed to be rehabbed. They need to rehab 81st street next because there is water leaking everywhere. ---- Speaking of random thoughts, last week I refilled my Metrocard at 42nd Street-Bryant Park, and as I'm refilling, a HUGE rat comes out from behind one of the big sized MVM machines and then runs by the small credit card machine I was using. My eyes almost popped out of my head thinking where in the hell is this thing going? I had to stay nearby since I literally had just finished putting it the info I needed to get the card, so I wasn't going anywhere until I had my receipt and card in hand. Now I'm wondering what this f---er will do as I wait for the card to come out of the machine. Well there's a convenience stand near by which had its gates down, but apparently not down low enough for him not to sneak through. Just imagine the surprise that the business owner got when he lifted up his gate the next morning...

I used 86th and 81st from 2010-2012 when I went to school, and 81st was spotless then and had beautiful artwork. Went back there recently and the station is a wreck. Water has leaked everywhere, rusting everything and ruining the beautiful tiling and artwork... they definitely need to close the station to replace the tiles, add an elevator, and do some waterproofing work once they are done with the other CPW stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's horrible, but knowing them they'll wait until the water situation is out of control, then rehab the station for millions more than what it should cost.
