mtattrain Posted April 23, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2011 I think they did, but it was in a mixed R142/A consist back in 2000-2001 or something, but the test ultimately failed because of differences of speed. Just like how the R160A-2/B-2 (B-2= R160 Siemens) failed. But still, there maybe was an R142 on the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova RTS 9147 Posted April 23, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 23, 2011 Aside from the aforementioned test, there were several times where the R142s made it to the due to service problems (Akin to the getting the R160). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed consists of Alstom and Siemens propulsion run regularly without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Train Master Posted April 23, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 23, 2011 What are you talking about? Mixed consists of Alstom and Siemens propulsion run regularly without any problems. Siemens sets accelerate at a faster rate causing harsh bucking samething with R142 and R142A's running together.Do you notice or realize the Kawasaki trains in the system move quicker. R62 > R62A R142 < R142A R160A < R160B Siemens 8843-9102 R68 < R68A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another video in less than a year of an example and even then, I saw a mixed train set in Union Square about a month ago on the Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another video in less than a year of an example and even then, I saw a mixed train set in Union Square about a month ago on the Q. Umm This done regularly. R160As & Bs (With Alstom propulsion) are mixed most of the time. Its a regular thing, see it almost everday on the or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
