That part of the consist was involved of the 96 St derailment around early January. It didn’t suffer much damage but used for parts, the other 3 cars may have that effect. 2176 suffered heavy damage back then.

Calvin Posted February 16 Share #30506 Posted February 16 A 8-car train of R42s have also been saved alongside the R32s. Those R42 cars are not part of the garbage fleet but also used as a protection train or for special occasion. * 4804-4805, 4806-4807, 4808-4809, 4812-4813 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABOGbrooklyn Posted February 16 Share #30507 Posted February 16 Someone on reddit was saying to put motion detectors on the edge of each car and send that alert to the operator to stop the train. I think that's a good idea to stop train surfing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale188 Posted February 17 Share #30508 Posted February 17 So what set is paired up with R142 7016-20? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted February 18 Share #30509 Posted February 18 (edited) It may sound wrong but in my opinion, with more R211s running on the by the springtime. Pitkin Yard should move some of their R46s sets and AA units over to Coney Island Yard for the to avoid any shortages that can happen. Retirement can wait. The even sets, not much can be covered for at least 1 train of R68s that runs on the Franklin Av Shuttle. Coney Island uses most of the R68/As at times that they barely have spares. Although, most of the R46s at the yard are put to rest including the rush hour. Edited February 18 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if no R46 cars “retire” until 2025, when enough spares have been saved up and the should be fully NTT by then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why keep an entire fleet of cars when they are no longer needed? Consider that in light of how they've been retiring cars even before their replacements are ordered. The only reason to keep them would be if their disposal costs are greater than keeping them, and even then eventually they have to be disposed. Pay me now or pay me later. As I've said in the R46 retirement thread many times, they managed to keep up service even without the 11 R32 trains that were retired early. With the R211s being a lot more reliable, assuming no more disasters, they won't need as many spares either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the R211s being a lot more reliable, assuming no more disasters, they won't need as many spares either. You are completely missing the point. Because they retired the R32's, The R46's took a hit on reliability esp at Coney Island. The pitkin ones improved slightly because they have a good spare factor with the R211s now. They were not fine, what helped them was the fact they had a crew shortage and in 2020-2021 the and lines were cut by 50% until the union fought to have their full services return this was also why they didn't need the R32s and at that time they were just in storage. Concourse lost spares between 2016-2018 32 cars in total i think to Coney Island when they brought back the and the going to 2nd ave, Jamaica lost 3-4 sets of R160's and gained 5823-5877 before the R46/160 swap due to the R179's pushing those R46's out. The R32's would have pushed out the other group of R46s to CI had they stayed. They have to make sure they have a good spare factor before they retire R46's. They are still removing R32s off property. Once that's done, They will start to store R46s when the time comes. Congestion pricing also plays a role on how they will do things. It isn't smart to start completely retiring R46's until they know they have enough fleet to meet up with the demand. They can STORE R46s and sideline them until there are more than enough R211s to start completely retiring the R46 fleet. This is why i said Congestion pricing should start in 2026 instead of now. The more it's pushed back, the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted February 21 Share #30525 Posted February 21 (edited) R62 1471 has a diamond 3 signed up. Heading downtown towards 72nd Street as I type. Couldn't manage to get a picture in time, but my own eyes don't lie on this one. What is up with all these random diamond signs showing up Edited February 21 by jon2305 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
