Why can't I ever catch a 142 with the new lights Edited February 28 by Ale188 typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 1 Share #30559 Posted March 1 Be safe to everyone riding transit from A to B. There was a second dispute that happened on the train but, it was a stabbing that took place at 167 St Station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First a killing at 170 or 176 st. a few months back, then teens shooting each other at Mt.

The last one ran did ran in service last Monday (8393-8396/8509-8512) and was swapped out with a ENY R179 (3074-3077/3110-3113) before the first day of February and first day of R211T in passenger service . For now, the fleet of the are mixed of R46s, R179s (5-car for the A and Shuttle with 4-car for the C) and R211s (the T is only for the C, the standard is for the A). The still uses the R179 but not much. Just seen 8569-8572/8405-8408 on the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the neighborhood, just a block or two away from that 167th Street station, and quite frankly I would say that it's not even the most dangerous line in the vicinity. The Concourse line between 12:00 AM and 5:00 AM is not a fun place to find yourself at with those giant mezzanines and blind spots... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemorie Posted March 3 Share #30565 Posted March 3 (edited) IMO, I am starting to wonder what is the point of the weekend and scheduled to come every 6 minutes on paper when constant GOs forces them to run every 8 minutes in reality.

Calvin Posted March 4 Share #30566 Posted March 4 (edited) Don't know if it's a common sight to see: on the R46, when arriving at Canal St on the platform Brooklyn bound, the doors can slide left to right on some part when it's at the platform waiting for the passengers to exit and enter the train. Seen on the very first car of the train where the T/O punches to what part they are heading on. Edited March 4 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted March 4 Share #30570 Posted March 4 That is just the motor trying to hold the door open on a grade and not doing a great job of it. You will notice it is ALWAYS being pulled downhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacster Posted March 4 Share #30573 Posted March 4 I noticed this on the R62s and the R188s on the 7 at GC and 5th Ave at the rear of the train since both stations are at the top of the grade but the back is still at a grade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale188 Posted March 7 Share #30575 Posted March 7 So this is what I caught subway wise on my trip. I will post this on my thread and the Bus RTT. R46: 5882-85, 5902-05, 6002-6005, 6170-73, line R62: 1621-25**, line R62A: 1801-05, 1954, 1957-60, 2111-15, 2131-35, line R142: 1221-25, 6301-05, 6331-35, 6356-60, 6521-25, 6371-75*, 6381-85*, 6666-70, 6786-90, 6826-30, 6871-75, 6911-15, 7041-45, 7096-7100, 7166-70, lines R142A: 7691-95, 7796-7800, line R143: 8237-40, 8293-96, line R160: 8317-20, 8373-76, 8723-27, 8753-57, 8868-72, 9258-62, 9273-77, 9463-67, 9828-32, 9938-42, lines R179: 3154-57, 3226-29, line *I think this was the set with 6666-70. Correct me if I am wrong. Also what set is with 6381-85? **Saw some 62s on the , but don't remember any of the sets. I definitely saw 1621-25, and the set that's with it. (Which set is that if any of y'all know? It will be added) Caught 46s and a 68A near Stillwell in June, so I can add all these guys with them. I also saw the platform barriers at Clark St , I think they're pretty good seeing them in person. The only rolling stocks that I missed on my trip were the R44s, R68/As, R188s, and R211A/T/Ss. Rode R46 6173, R62A 1958, R142s 6385, 6829, 7019, 7098, and R160s 8317, 8669. All the rides were fun and smooth. My fav rolling stock gotta be tied between the 142s and 160s. Let me know what y'all think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
