Calvin Posted July 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2011 Today, there were 3 sets in the with the 4 R68As. The R68As were: (5144-5142)-(5010-5012) (5186-5188)-(5066-5068) (5004-5002)-(5034-5036) The 3 R68As were unexpected on my business trip with my family. Are they going to be on the service from now on and is the going to be all R160? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocked Posted July 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 2, 2011 They are probably only there, for a weekend, just like last week. During the week most of them are on the (. MTA is doing so to fill in for the 160's that are inspected/cleaned/whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are NO SPECIFIC Fleets to the or ... whatever Coney Island sends out is what is running on those lines. Did you know that Coney Island has 2 runs on the so this means a R160 can pop up!

2 Train Master Posted July 2, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2011 How many threads are gonna be made about this??!!! Whatever equipment Coney Island Yard has available will be used on the (. I believe the R-160's are getting breaks b\c of high mileage so 68/A's that normally run on the ( are running on the or and giving 160's breaks.

VIP Posted July 2, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 2, 2011 any equipment in 1 yard can be utilized by any Line in that yard. its been this way for many years now. -__- R68's on the shouldnt be news. it happens. just because management assigns equipment to lines, they are always subject to change to meet needs of service.

bveguy Posted July 3, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 3, 2011 Please just stop foaming over what revenue service cars run on which line. They're all just a train that gets you somewhere. Whatever runs on what line will run. I'm pretty sure we've all gotten sick of 50+ threads about a stupid R160 on the and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted July 3, 2011 Share #12 Posted July 3, 2011 Its not clear what is going on with the R160's (inspection or they are racking up too many miles), but whatever it is all I know that during the weekends of this month there will be R68/A on the & (whatever is from the ). btw Calvin, your wrong. There were at least 3 R68A on the & 6 R68A's on the . One of the sets had 5200 and 5001 hooked up. ......R160... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense intended but you can't be taking these car fleet changes so seriously. I admit I had an eyebrow raised reading this one...I'll let you think on that. I think its a legitimate question for one to ask especially as a train buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted July 3, 2011 Share #15 Posted July 3, 2011 woot! I'm loving these new assignments! I seen the 46 train today, this kinda reminds me of the infamous R62 train, circa, 2004 to like last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the IRT is much smaller, and the isn't ready to accept 142A's yet. Wake me up when there's SMEE in revenue service on the Lex again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanfortitude Posted July 3, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 3, 2011 I still don't think I'm ready to accept the 6 losing 142s. If anything I hope it'll be mixed sets of them and and the 62As. Otherwise I think the current assignments are fine as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocked Posted July 3, 2011 Share #23 Posted July 3, 2011 That there only there for the week... It's untrue! train probably, but I was talking about . This week (mon-fri), none of the r68 showed up on or at least i didn't see them;). I am positive that the same will happen this time and so forth. I might be wrong, though.

Otherwise I think the current assignments are fine as is. It'll probably be mixed since the has more trains than the . Plus the R188s will mean extra cars, so not all R142As are being taken off the . [Depends on which R142As they decide to take first- from the or . But in the end, I think they should consolodate the remaining mainline r142As on one line.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
