Priincenene Posted April 28, 2014 Share #6451 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) It'll run it's normal route to Broad St, merge with the R and make R stops until after DeKalb, where it'll run on the B/Q to Prospect Park.

PATCOman Posted April 28, 2014 Share #6452 Posted April 28, 2014 You are not alone on that. Maybe it's the repetitiveness combined with the verbose nature of the announcements. @YankeesPwnMets: That's not really all that surprising, given that she's done various recordings for several different transit systems and airports around the world. Check out this piece from the New York Times for more. Thats the reason why I don't like those canned announcements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted April 28, 2014 Share #6453 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) How old are those punch boxes at 59th St? Set up for the train and everything... Thats a good question, I'm not sure either. The cases housing it @ 59th Street looks sort of modern, but the technology itself that runs the punch boxes may be antiquated. I am thinking of this however: Remember the relay room fire at Chambers Street in 2005? The technology in that room and therefore much of the block signaling technology dates back to at least 1932, untouched! (Save for the installation of the timers recently). However according to the pending 2015-2019 capital budget that might be subject to change, as CBTC installation on the IND 8th Ave Line may be included.

pjbr40 Posted April 29, 2014 Share #6461 Posted April 29, 2014 i think i saw 4 r46 train today. couldn't get any numbers because it was going the opposite way. Also i think the curve track section on the Manhattan bound toward Jay Street is rough with the noise. I never heard of that noise before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted April 29, 2014 Share #6469 Posted April 29, 2014 I was on that same train, it always get taken OOS at that time, it runs in the same interval all the time Cause the R160 is meant to run on the overnight and the R32/42 get taken back to ENY Yard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted April 29, 2014 Share #6470 Posted April 29, 2014 Even though I regularly ride the , and / , I have ridden the a couple of times too, especially when that R32 swap occurred. The R42s are my third favorite car in the system. I have no interest in any NTT in the fleet. Nearly every of those remaining 6 trainsets of R42s are out during rush hour, a set or two during middays and weekends (and occasionally at night). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j express Posted April 29, 2014 Share #6471 Posted April 29, 2014 I remember back in January or February on a weekday, I caught 3 R42s and 1 R32 on the back to back after the p.m rush. It depends whether they need the R42s/R32s or not. Last two weekends ago on a Saturday, I came down to the lower level of Jamaica Center and see a 5 p.m put in R42 from the back of Jamaica Center and I saw two other R42s that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted April 29, 2014 Share #6472 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Same here. I also remember many times that they actually did keep the R42s in service, even if its say 5 pm or 6 pm weekdays. The R42s can also run during weeknights too. Edited April 29, 2014 by RollOverMyHead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted April 30, 2014 Share #6474 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Can the ever be rerouted via the or Queens Blvd Line? Edited April 30, 2014 by Priincenene 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted April 30, 2014 Share #6475 Posted April 30, 2014 Can the ever be rerouted via the or Queens Blvd Line? Well the problem lies in the original reason why the and swapped terminals back in the past decades: This was because of the fact that the had no direct access to a yard. With the current arrangement, the has access to Jamaica yard unlike before when it ran to Astoria. The even though it once upon a time ran to Forst Hills always had access to CI Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
