VIP Posted April 8, 2011 Share #76 Posted April 8, 2011 if its the R32's passengers are complaining about, then lets have ENY and 207 swap equipment. R32's for (J)/(Z) and the 8 car R160s for service, and send the R42's to 207 aswell...but ENY has to keep about 17 sets of R160's for the . Then you can have the left with Some R32's/R42's to Lefferts and what not and keep all R46's to the Rockaways... so ENY can be R32/R160 while 207th st yard can keep some R32/R42 and R160's...I dont see the problem there... :eek: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted April 8, 2011 Share #87 Posted April 8, 2011 The R12/15/33 are ok, the R17 is a risk every time you take it out (more of a personal opinion). The repainted redbirds though are shot. So basically at best a run on the GC-TS Shuttle [track 1] then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted April 8, 2011 Share #88 Posted April 8, 2011 So basically at best a run on the GC-TS Shuttle [track 1] then? Well no, I'm just not a fan of having the resistor grids enclosed in a box. That and I run an R17 all summer and don't really car to work or ride on one during the off season in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. what i meant was, that the 8 car R160s can be used in any location. R32 3838 said that the ENY cars were built for that yard only...which made no sense, i was just tryin to exemplify how those cars can end up via Qns Blvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted April 8, 2011 Share #91 Posted April 8, 2011 Just like how I don't believe the crap about R62As will never go back to the again because of politics. If people don't like it, they can: take the bus, drive, or walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No strong political connections in South Brooklyn? You may want to check on that, also the and don't go through South Brooklyn at all. I live in South Brooklyn and my neighborhood got the MTA to install timers on the line, so there is some political pull there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42 M Train Posted April 9, 2011 Share #99 Posted April 9, 2011 Why would people in your neighborhood want timers? So they complain of a slower commute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted April 9, 2011 Share #100 Posted April 9, 2011 Why would people in your neighborhood want timers? So they complain of a slower commute? The houses in my area were built in 1911 and predate the IND subway. Over the past 30 years, the earth over the tunnels has settled and the vibrations of the trains are cracking the foundations of some of the homes. While the Culver Viaduct work is being done, new track hardware is being installed to minimize this while a long term solution is found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
