S78 via Hylan Posted May 22, 2014 Share #6709 Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I decided to check out the Fastrack on my way home. As usual, passengers were upset, cussing, complaining about having to transfer to the , etc. I did have some interesting conversations with some girls though and I ran into one of my railfan friends on the which happened to be an R32. Here was my trip : from Fulton St to 59 St, to Times Sq, to Grand Central, to Brooklyn Bridge and then the home to Halsey St. Edited May 22, 2014 by S78 via Hylan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted May 22, 2014 Share #6710 Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Had to go to Yonkers today. Got to Rockaway Av and missed the train since I had to refill my metrocard. Wired a few minutes and the came instead. Shrugged it off and got off at Utica Av for the ...the to Nereid Av came instead and I let that go since I needed to go to Woodlawn. Fast forward to later when I was going home. Dozed off on the train and woke up as the train was pulling into Brooklyn Bridge. Decided to get off and take the for some reason, but whatever. Get to the platform and the came (mind you, this was at 10 pm). All the signs in the train said (it was a R42) but we made regular stops nonetheless. We get on the Willy B approach and a R32 comes inbound, but the front sign said . Fast forward again to Broadway Junction and I get off and the Continuous Welded Rail train came in on the middle track. I go upstairs and I missed the . Next train cones in, and for some reason they sent it back towards Manhattan. I let that go and hop on the next one. EDIT I'm assuming the CWR is at Linden Shops now, I can hear the horn from my house Edited May 22, 2014 by Fresh Pond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted May 25, 2014 Share #6723 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) I remember stumbling upon the manufacturer's website. I forgot who makes them. Try heading in that direction. Unfortunately, I have no idea who makes them either. An older post I found says that either Alstom or Kawasaki provided the system, though I can't find info on their sites about it. Thanks for the tip, though - I'll keep hunting. Shifting away from the above topic for a bit with an inquiry, is it the plan, as per last year, to keep one R32 train on the after they swap back? I'll be in the city in October, and since I'll already be on the Jamaica EL hunting for R42s, might as well go for an R32 as well.

CenSin Posted May 25, 2014 Share #6724 Posted May 25, 2014 A rarity in more quiet stations and those in the main shopping districts, Coney Island seems to boast a high number of people asking for Metrocard swipes despite the station being patrolled by many cops. I got off the train today and headed for the Mermaid Avenue exit when a young male was pacing back and forth by the turnstiles soliciting a free Metrocard swipe from people exiting the station. As I walked towards the turnstile, I also noticed an NYPD car with 2 (or more) cops watching. I looked at the teen and shook my head, pointing in the direction of the B74 boarding location and murmured, "cops." He sucked his teeth and turned towards the next person. Maybe he knew there were cops and was hoping to make a dash for it while the cops would cuff the poor sap who gave him a free ride. Or maybe he thought I was transferring to a bus, oblivious to the cops watching him from a mere 5 yards away in plain view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in the city in October, and since I'll already be on the Jamaica EL hunting for R42s, might as well go for an R32 as well. Yeah, R32 3838 actually confirmed that two sets will be kept for the R143 SMS and the already has enough spares since the R32s' spare ratio is very higher at 54%. Easiest way to catch an SMEE on the is during the rush hour timeframe, especially when the skip-stop happens. Sometimes during the off-peak, they do actually keep a set or two of SMEEs in service without being taken out after stopping at either Jamaica Center or Broad Street. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
