In a perfect foamer world the fleet would be split between Pikin & CI Haha, don't mind me I just kinda wanna see R68/68As on the line full time Both 8th Ave and Broadway corridors being a mix of 46s & 68s ohhhh that would be great! But I doubt it as 68s on the would be an pain in the ass but for dispatcher at 207th, so keep the line 46s and 179s for the time being. For the past 2 days I have been seeing more R68's on both the and than R46's. So i think they are giving some R46's a rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted January 14, 2022 Share #27027 Posted January 14, 2022 R62A 1930 has its full width cab converted to a 1/2 cab. The 42nd Shuttle units that used to have full-width cabs are 1935, 1945 and 1946. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil 57 Posted January 14, 2022 Share #27028 Posted January 14, 2022 I was taking the S78 and S79 along Hylan yesterday and the kiosks along the road that showed the arrival of nearby trans and buses displayed the Staten Island Railway as instead of SIR or anything else that would resemble that Staten Island Railway. Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone actually complained to on Twitter that they don't have enough crews to run the but have enough crews to run raggedy a** train farewell trips on the line. I was hollering. I was wondering that. It's probably crew's that are mostly on station watch or just yard workers who are just there to supervise the foamers/fanners if they somehow act up including on par with polices. Some crew's on either front, back and ends are just for horn shows or to take a view. It's probably how my way to explain it. And if they actually bring in service in the state thats now. technically they'll be a usual 5-6 trains running lmao. Just gotta think out the box somehow. It's just how my brain figures how crews can attend the r32 farewell run but they out here "dun a dunna bum quarantinas, big covidas-19s infectin me. am lazy or sum" to ride a train lol. bringing back service can be a possibility. but here comes the "Crew Shortage" reasoning.

I can’t say for sure how the museum runs work, I do believe the people who do those trips though are volunteers and a lot of those guys have a lot of time in the system so it’s likely on their days off that they participate. They aren’t lying or exaggerating about the crew shortage though. The RTO VP came to a location I was working at and told us we have about 1500 people out now due to the recent Covid uptick plus this is retirement season. It’s really bad now there’s been times when I had to do a trip on my scheduled lunch break because they’re so short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted January 16, 2022 Share #27034 Posted January 16, 2022 The 42nd St Shuttle was running at least 1 out of 2 trains this week or that it's just 1 to move Train Ops to different numbered lines in-case of shortage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re trying to keep the going because otherwise the Lefferts Blvd trains will be made fully local, making an already unreliable route even less reliable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted January 17, 2022 Share #27036 Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Sad miserable sight to see, it's like people are this bored : An R46 and R68A at the City Hall lower level has been vandalized by teens. The R46 has its LCD all smashed while the R68A has its rollsign removed with the bullets on the floor.

The fact that these were teens allegedly, makes me continue losing hope and patience for what suppose to be the "future" of our society. This younger generation needs a better direction of utilizing their time and productivity. Learn trades, learn culinary. Be useful to help your family and yourself to a better way of life.

danielhg121 Posted January 17, 2022 Share #27038 Posted January 17, 2022 NYCT is selling their NEU VakTrak 1. Not sure where else they could go? The bid is actually pretty low considering what MTA bought it for and the fact that it's a whole train probably costing millions of dollars. How would one really go about transporting this anyways? lol https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=93&acctid=17125 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode it southbound like a month or two ago, and somehow without any announcements it ended up on the central track at Ditmas, and then (after an announcement) ran express from 18 Av to Kings Highway. People needing local stops got pretty screwed as the next was quite a while away. Edited January 19, 2022 by P3F 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
