RollOver Posted August 14, 2013 Share #3729 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Does the train operate FROM New Lots Av to 96 st during the evening rush? Im currently on the at Saratoga av 0_o ! In a past thread about the recovery from Hurricane Sandy, several people claimed that the should run to New Lots while the was suspended no matter how many times Snowblock convinced them that it cannot run to New Lots since the route is way too long and that they don't have the crews for it.

Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted August 14, 2013 Share #3732 Posted August 14, 2013 Well i was just on the train from New Lots Wonder if this is LEGIT because my guess is that you had a R62 that came back from 240 Street yard, but the signs weren't fixed up. If I can see the evidence, I'll believe it but other than that, I still have my doubts if its true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted August 15, 2013 Share #3734 Posted August 15, 2013 I seem to have luck when taking the home. I always get an R46. Speaking of R46, them being back on the is my childhood all over again. Now all they need to do is make those R160's that are left on the R32's, put the R32's back on the , make the all R46 as well, and bring back the and on Queens Blvd . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I have a clip of R62A #1995 with a full-width cab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted August 15, 2013 Share #3738 Posted August 15, 2013 Here's a random wtf question: What would be the psychological effect of a person who has to sit between two people in a three bucket seat arrangement on a R62, R68 or a R46 car in the middle of rush hour? And one has bad breath and constantly picks his nose while the other guy is snoring dead asleep nodding all over the car with drool coming down his face? Thoughts ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one has bad breath and constantly picks his nose while the other guy is snoring dead asleep nodding all over the car with drool coming down his face? Thoughts ? Those R62's are so gross. The poles are so greasy. I never sit down on those trains and try to avoid touching the poles too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted August 15, 2013 Share #3744 Posted August 15, 2013 Every train's poles are probably nasty in one way or another. It's not exclusive to one train type or subway line. And I've said it before: it's mass transit. Everyone else will not be as clean or hygienic as you are. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've said it before: it's mass transit. Everyone else will not be as clean or hygienic as you are. The thing with the R62's is that they use a different material for the poles so you get the build up of everyone touching the poles as opposed to the newer trains. In other words, if the poles are equally dirty, the dirty/grease is better masked on the newer trains, so you feel less skeeved out when touching the poles on the newer trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted August 15, 2013 Share #3746 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) On the R62's, I think it's the same steel alloy on the poles more or less on the subway poles regardless of the fleet type however the poles used on the different fleets has a different finish (brushed metal vs polished metal finish). Otherwise correct, it doesn't have an impact on what germs and dirt actually is smeared on the subway poles. Also the inside of the cars are made also a polished metal finish with brushed metal stripes: That was the designers offer to make the inside of the cars graffiti proof so permanent marker ink or spray paint can be easily cleaned off the interiors of the cars. Of course hindsight is 20/20 - vandals started using rock pebbles to scratchi the semi soft metal interior walls of the cars. I can see where VG8 is coming from. It is a turnoff to see dirt, grime sebaceous oil from skin etc on the metal on the interior of a R62 or R68 car let alone the window panes of any car regardless of fleet type. But hey this is NYC........ Edited August 15, 2013 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted August 15, 2013 Share #3748 Posted August 15, 2013 Well there's hand sanitizer. I keep it on hand as I always seem to have one bout of the flu every winter season. The subway is one public setting where you can catch it easy. Also pink eye, sore throat, laryngitis, and even urinary tract infections, respectively. Medically proven fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I always thought was funny was when some article came out about how dirty the poles are the quickly came out with some statement to rebut that saying that it simply wasn't true to try and calm fears. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
