MysteriousBtrain Posted March 23, 2015 Share #9151 Posted March 23, 2015 What, why!? It was only the first car that was damaged, can't the MTA just order a new R143 A-Car and connect it with the rest of the set?Contracts for rolling stock only lasts a few years. Once a contract is done, it's done. The most we can do is save that set for spare parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted March 23, 2015 Share #9155 Posted March 23, 2015 Without another A car, there is no way for that R143 set to be revived for service. Don't give me negative feedback on this, but aren't there 2 A- cars in between that R143 set? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted March 23, 2015 Share #9156 Posted March 23, 2015 Don't give me negative feedback on this, but aren't there 2 A- cars in between that R143 set?All R143s in service are in A-B-B-A sets. The A car involved in the bumper incident was damaged and is not going to see service anytime soon unless they decide to repair it. (Which should of been done years ago is the MTA was to repair it) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronson Posted March 24, 2015 Share #9159 Posted March 24, 2015 Here's a picture update of the progress on the 7 line extension published by the MTA: http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/docs/2015%20March%20Transit%20Committee%20Presentation_7%20line%20extension%20update.pdf I wasn't sure if this warranted a new thread or not so I'll just post it here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted March 24, 2015 Share #9161 Posted March 24, 2015 It looks extremely decadent. Looks like there's even a walkway dedicated to people right over the switches outside the station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted March 25, 2015 Share #9163 Posted March 25, 2015 Saw the same garbage train thrice today. I took bad phone pics of it at QP on the Queens bound track, the garbage train left, my came and ran slowly and at Roosevelt there was the garbage train. I saw in the third time at CTL on the manhattan bound track. The reason why I didn't have my camera was because my dad was borrowing it. On the it was interesting to listen to some tourists' conversation on the subway. One of the kids made a really stupid comment. Does the same person operating the train do it at all times? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only rode it like 2 or 3 times and I was hoping to see more of them but that was way before the R160 showed up on that line. It was very very rare to see an R46 on the since it was full with R32s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion V 9441 Posted March 26, 2015 Share #9171 Posted March 26, 2015 will the MTA be operating the Low-V on April 6th for the Yankees home opener this year? I just want to know if I might be able to catch it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the R160s make up about 15% of the (usually random), and there is one or two R68s on the that come out at scheduled times.

Unfortunately I just moved from Astoria to Flushing/Forest Hills that time and didn't know about the Q64 to Forest Hills.

Daniel The Cool Posted March 27, 2015 Share #9174 Posted March 27, 2015 I put this in the transit group on Facebook and will put this on here now. Yep so in case if anyone notices why the Train is mostly R160s and the almost entirely R46s is because they're switching assignments around making the R 100% R46s by the weekend according to a reliable source due to the R160s causing vibrations south of 59th Street in Brooklyn making it a safety issue. Just wanted to give a heads up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
