Grand Concourse Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1727 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I take it they are stopping at the 10-car marker? That's gotta suck for those running for the end of the train.

Fresh Pond Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1728 Posted November 7, 2012 I take it they are stopping at the 10-car marker? That's gotta suck for those running for the end of the train. Imagine Broadway Junction & Franklin Av heading towards Manhattan lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1729 Posted November 7, 2012 I thought Franklin av doesn't matter? It doesn't seem like it requires the c/r to worry about needing tv screens for any blind spots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like it requires the c/r to worry about needing tv screens for any blind spots. It doesn't, but if they are stopping at the 10-car marker (which doesn't make sense in a way), and the entrance to Franklin on the NB platform is in the back of the station. ...thats a real mad dash right there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1731 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Damn... if ever there is a reason the should be 10 car trains... Edited November 7, 2012 by Grand Concourse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1732 Posted November 7, 2012 i don't see the R42 lasting, this was a big issue back in 2008, i think what they might have to do is ether send those R42's back to ENY and get the 8 car R160's (most of the crews are R160 ready) or do the summer swap or something, its stupid to have 2 sets of trains where they stop too far from where its supposed to stop at, this will rasie more complaints trust me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1733 Posted November 7, 2012 Forgive my ignorance, but what's stopping them from using the 8-car marker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1734 Posted November 7, 2012 Forgive my ignorance, but what's stopping them from using the 8-car marker? I guess the C/R board. But I could be wrong, Im just assuming, I didn't go out there and look for myself. ...not that I will anyway, its just a train 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MTA Bus Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1735 Posted November 7, 2012 The R42 trains are stopping at the 10 car marker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1736 Posted November 7, 2012 Yup, its because of the C/R board since the train is 5-3. IMO this was a stupid Idea, they can run 10 car trains with 8 car trains on there, all they need to do is put a sign in the cab like what they did with the R42's that says in bold black letters "10 CAR STOP". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted November 7, 2012 Share #1739 Posted November 7, 2012 i don't see the R42 lasting, this was a big issue back in 2008, i think what they might have to do is ether send those R42's back to ENY and get the 8 car R160's (most of the crews are R160 ready) or do the summer swap or something, its stupid to have 2 sets of trains where they stop too far from where its supposed to stop at, this will rasie more complaints trust me All they have to do is just send 16 or 24 R46 sets from Pitkin to the Rockaways and leave the 100% R32s. But its too late anyways, plus 98% of the route restored with no service at all and those 20 R32s are already being sent down to the Rockaways... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
