TwoTimer Posted July 6, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 6, 2011 On the payroll at brighton beach, there is a sheet asking those t/o if they are not qualified for the 160...(heads for higher ground to avoid drowning in foam) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted July 6, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2011 Rumor has it that 160s may move to the ( and the R68As will go to the and because some R160s have ALOT of milage on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted July 6, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 6, 2011 @IND Supts just asked for a few, not an all out swap. @R42 The trains won't run weekends. Yea, but it's still something unusual as some of the R160s are getting close in mileage to some of the R68As. Last month something came out about how R68s should not be laied up at night so r160s could be inspected, now there actually enforcing it. It's just the same old sh*t the TA has done forever, get something new and beat the ever living sh*t out of it. Also, how many are not R160 qualified?

TwoTimer Posted July 6, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 6, 2011 Also, how many are not R160 qualified? Nobody signed up on that sheet so far (as of last night) so I guess none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted July 6, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 6, 2011 Why is it that when they get new things they run them into the ground? I don't know, but they have done the same thing with the R142s. Nobody signed up on that sheet so far (as of last night) so I guess none. Not too surprising, I do know a few guy who are not NTT qualified but they have been in work trains for almost 10 years now.

trainfan22 Posted July 6, 2011 Share #12 Posted July 6, 2011 I wonder if they have the same issue with the line's R142 fleet and high mileage... As its quite common to see 142s from the running in service on the line on a Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traildriver Posted July 8, 2011 Share #13 Posted July 8, 2011 I don't see anything wrong with running new equipment as much as possible... Just as long as they follow manufacturer's maintenance schedule, it is a good thing to run new trains that are more reliable, and let them work off their high acquisition costs. Why run old worn out trains that require high maintenance just to 'preserve' new ones? Almost any transportation entity will run their newest equipment as much as possible, and use older equipment only to supplement the newer where necessary.
