trainfan22 Posted July 26, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2011 There was quite a few of them on the line today, the first two Rock Park trains in the PM Rush today was R32s.... In addition to the ones I saw running in regular service. But beware, those Rock Park runs start @ 59th street! I tried to catch the first one @ 145th but the train just kept it moving like a battery run lol, I hopped on a 46 train and caught the second one so was I wasn't even mad.

Amtrak7 Posted July 26, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2011 They're still there; saw an R32 on the express at 14th today (couldn't tell if it was an express , I was on another at the time). However, way fewer than Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted July 26, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 26, 2011 3-4 runs allday the other 5 or 6 sets are for rush hour Rock Park service and Rush Hour Lefferts service this will last as long as the TA wants too, it might be for the whole summer, who knows, but the temp. has dropped so things can go back to normal, The R46's aren't doing great on the ether they have the same a/c problems as the R32's, as well as the R32's on the with their a/c's having problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 26, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 26, 2011 I saw an R32 at Utica Avenue heading northbound a little after 8:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted July 26, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 26, 2011 I saw an R32 Manhattan bound [from the rockaways] just heading towards Rockaway blvd. I could've gotten a shot of it if I wasn't in a rush [got on a regular to Broad Channel]. On the flip side, I was surpised to see at least 4 R46 trains today. The first I was waiting for at 34th arrived right away. Didn't need to wait for it [not that I was going to anyway]. So I struck out on the R32 , but got a few R46 pics. Mainly the signs.

IntExp Posted July 26, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 26, 2011 Saw some R32 to Far Rock at Jay Street-Metrotech at around 5:00 PM on Monday while on the ....Hopefully they will be there today b/c I'm in the area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 26, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 26, 2011 I was with my son railfanning the and there were a decent amount of Brightliners in service. I saw at least four and I was on one to Far Rock. The was predominantly R46s and I'm curious as to where they came from. The only had half-length trainsets before converting to R68s. The still has a lot of R46s as does the . I even saw R46 trains. I'm also wondering where the R32s were mothballed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came from the , straight up 32 for 46 swap, not from any other line or yard (e.g. Jamaica or CI). Plenty of switchmen in 207 just to add a pair to 8 car train and change the signs.

lilbluefoxie Posted July 26, 2011 Share #20 Posted July 26, 2011 around 11:00 I got an uptown R32 towards 207 Street,when it got to 207 however, it went out of service and went to the yard, a second R32 came in right after it, and also went out of service. There are plenty of R46 trains out there as of today, anyone hunting for em should have no problems finding one. I saw more 46 ©s than 32 ©s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted July 26, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 26, 2011 I took my ride on the earlier this morning. Some kid was totally guarding the RFW. Good thing I just wanted to ride or that would have been annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted July 26, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 26, 2011 R46 R32 as it should be :tup: anywho, anyone know what happened to R32 3510-3511 :confused: its not on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted July 26, 2011 Share #23 Posted July 26, 2011 Saw one at 207 today, three people vying for space at the rfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted July 26, 2011 Share #24 Posted July 26, 2011 Since I'm likely gonna go out again tomorrow, I hope to find an R32 to Far Rock. If I catch one, I'll probably do a reverse rfw since everyone else will hog up the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
