Dude search it up. In some rare occasions like for example, say the (2) is rerouted via the (1) or (3) line, the operator has the option to switch to the rerouted line it's running as an example it can turn into a (1) or (3) train.

Operators do not have the option to switch.....they are told where to go by supervisors and dispatchers in the event something happens. No operator acts on Instinct.

 

Stop trying to fool members on here.

I'm gonna drop my two cents on this whole R142/A's on the (1) thing. The only time I've seen 142s head north of 96th on the (1), they weren't in service (been meaning to ask someone here why they would send 142s up that line when it's strictly R62/A's). As much as I would love for the (1) to have NTTs, I know it's not gonna happen anytime soon unless the (MTA) or Cuomo decides to change things or the riders complain loudly enough for them to order new trains or move some 142A's from the (7), which we all know isn't gonna happen. So until then, just deal with the R62/A trains and just ride the (2) until the MTA decides to replace the 62s.

Does anybody know why the express section on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line has so many timers going northbound, but they're virtually nonexistent going s/b?

 

Northbound seems like it's so delay prone, especially during rush hours because of the restricted speed while s/b it's about 3-4 minutes from Barclays to Franklin avenue.

You're going downhill northbound past Eastern Pkwy-Museum

The last video by Transport Net is when some R142's from the (2) or (5) or it was the time when the (3) had R142's. This happened somewhere in 2008 or 2009. I'm not so sure. Check the comments. Don't judge me much but I'm trying to get ideas since I don't know much about the MTA NYCT. Sorry Guys.Didn't mean to cause too much bothering. I just wanted to know more and better the MTA NYCT, Once again, so sorry guys.

Thanks dude, I think you are nice dude. Keep it up Shade Jay. I am also 12 years old that's why too. I'm in this world for 12 years. I have a question though, went I went to the New York Transit museum, I heard rumors that the (7) instead used to be a BMT or IND line and that's why there is two divisions. A and B division. Is this true? I don't know actually..

Check the Nycsubway site. It tells the story and history of each line.

Thanks Shade Jay, I think you are really nice keep it up. I am 12 years old that's also why. I have a question, when I went to the New York Transit Museum, I heard rumors that the (7) used to be instead a BMT or IND line before being an IRT line. Is this actually true?

Also I have one problem, how do you friend someone, considering I am still new since I am 12 years old and about to be 13 in january 6?

There were also R142A's in the 1 and 3 trains

That R142A (1) was from my video, and I can tell you that it was a really a (6), it was just that one sign that glitched...

Yeah you're late, someone else told me, but nice catch of the glitch though. :)

For what ever reason, the first (D) express in the Bronx during the PM rush is always a mess. I've rode the first express (D) for the past 3 weeks from 145th Street, and everytime, the conductor announces that the next stop is Tremont Avenue, but the train always stops at 161st Street. Now, usually when the (D) express stops at 161st, it bypasses 167th and continues express after that. But today, my train went from 145th to 161st, then made a stop at 167th, then resumed normal express service. I can understand the whole idea behind stopping at 161st Street, as it's the last transfer to the (4) (or any line at that matter), but wouldn't the conductor and T/O know before hand (by at least 145th) that the train would stop at 161st Street? Seems a lot like poor communication...

The (D) seems to be a disaster during the evening rush in general, and yes there is generally poor communication.

That is the case during a Yankee game. IDK why.

You know, I've been hearing about a lot of trains in terrible condition, or way past their time (S.I's R44s, the R32/R42s). The bodies are all "rusted, worn out", the R44s "jerk on acceleration, have terrible suspension". My thing is, how are these trains' wheels & trucks? Running for 50+ years, I'm surprised they (god forbid), haven't had any derailments or anything of that matter from the mechanisms below the platform (obviously in the years past retirement time). Seeing an old train, the first thing I think about are the wheels, trucks, etc, and question if they are in good condition. I never see y'all talking about that with the trains.
