FLX9304 Posted March 20 Share #30630 Posted March 20 Is this true that R142s 1201-1205 on the are being used for parts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 20 Share #30631 Posted March 20 The R142s are only about halfway through their useful lives… if we needed parts we would order them. it’s the R46s that may need to be canibalozed for spare parts and they are doing it right now for the SIR’s R44s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 21 Share #30635 Posted March 21 (edited) * On the and trains, you see R46, R179 and R211. Although, for those who photograph, ride and fan the line, you may want to go get your images of the R68/A tripper as much as you can (Late PM rush trip from 207 St to Far Rockaway and back to 207 St). It's been said that the one R68/A consist will not be around any longer starting the upcoming Spring/Summer pick (that'll start between the end of June and first week of July). Also, the will have headway changes that'll occur later on. * Other pointer: The R160 to Coney Island from 96 St ( at 96 St that arrives at 8:03 AM) is kept on the next pick. But hey, you may see that special R32 during the summer if the NYTM will have it for their excursion.

Lawrence St Posted March 21 Share #30637 Posted March 21 Does anyone know what some of the highest used ridership stations along are? Since fares are only collected at two stations (when are they gonna put turnstiles in the rest of the system) its impossible to use 's public metric chart to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyBusLover1 Posted March 23 Share #30641 Posted March 23 Has anyone seen a R179 on the A line recently? It seems to me that they’re getting more rare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 23 Share #30642 Posted March 23 I mean, there are only thirteen 10 car trains worth of 179s in existence, and they have started using the 179s out at Rockaway Park… so… they were never super abundant to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale188 Posted March 23 Share #30646 Posted March 23 No wonder why I was seeing 46 after 46 after 46 on the . I rode a 46 from PABT to Hoyt and All I saw was (like 1 or 2) trains (160), and several 46s on the . I saw (and caught) only 1 179 on the at 34th.

It was such a small order of 179’s, they should’ve replaced all the R32’s 46’s all at once from the , maybe a few 46’s can be sent over to other lines, during the CBTC car equipment switch, it would’ve been worth it, today the 211’s would’ve been running on the or 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted March 23 Share #30649 Posted March 23 Given how much of a cluster F the 179s were, late, breaking down, doors opening while moving, breaking apart… Would ordering more of them make anything that resembles sense to the people making those decisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R211s on the and makes sense anyway esp the due to the bigger doors. The doesn't need R211s. It got the R160s brand new and is possibly getting them back ( when CI gets techs for the ) Anyway. They want these cars on lines that have or going to get CBTC. The Only broadway lines the R211s would make sense to be on is the and the .
