Although for a period of time the sub-surface stock did use the year in addition to a letter, starting with the A60/62, then the C69/77 and finally the D78, before it was dropped again for the S Stock, which should have been the S10 Stock if the old numbering scheme had been continued.

I've been on those S stock trains and they are great on the inside. Their traction motors are very loud but thats about it. They even have selective door operation for short platforms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please use grammar that makes sense? My understanding is the R160A-1s are all in ENYY. Some were at 207th for the starting in 2013, but they were returned to ENYY as the R179's entered service. My questions are why do R143's sometimes run on the , and why haven't R179's run on the ?

A lot of train sets get boxed in on the express tracks under QB/Hillside when they are layed up for the night, sometimes all weekend, the 179s are still under warranty so maybe they keep them on the so ENY shops can access them at anytime. 143s on the might be for a similar reason, a lot of 179s might be OOS for warranty work so they use 143s in their place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R143s running on the Line Was from the fleet, It can happen if the R143s In the Canarsie Yard goes to the East New York Yard Or It can just go to broadway junction and go to the platform and become a or Train I think. And the train having R179s I don’t know about that. But the R179 Delivery was short and I don’t know it’s gonna keep delivering more R179 cars. And the R179s are only for the and lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, but no cigar. The uses R143’s as spares and those sets being used are having CBTC Synchronization issues so instead of leaving them idle at Rockaway Parkway yard, they send those sets to East New York for service. Now that the doesn’t go to 96-2av anymore, R160’s have freed up for service and frequent inspections. The R179’s are still under warranty and Jamaica Yard/Fresh pond yard doesn’t have parts or tools necessary to inspect, and repair the cars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer using 8 car trains to Essex. The is back to using OPTO on weekends. 4 hours ago, Lawrence St said: Doesn't Fresh Pond have that car barn repair shed from when the was split in two? Yes they do, however the crews there aren’t R179 qualified to perform maintenance on the said equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The and lines have this same pattern, with weekend service running more frequently than weekday service, likely to serve people who are not working from home and want to go out. The and however are running close to normal weekday service Frequencies as opposed to Saturday service like the rest of the system from Monday to Friday Edited May 20, 2020 by darkstar8983 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
