Urbanfortitude Posted July 27, 2011 Share #27 Posted July 27, 2011 i suppose they could just fix the intercoms (can they do that?) and simply announce where the train is going a bit better. But that's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's all I got. thats the best that they could do, everyone and anyone who rides the in bklyn knows the train is either going to Far Rock or Lefferts. no one reads the signs, they listen to what the next stop is after Rockaway Blvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lance25 Posted July 28, 2011 Share #30 Posted July 28, 2011 They got too comfortable with the R44s and R46s and the digital signs, so now that they're back to using the R32s, they have to get used to changing the 20 rollsigns again. Or at the very least change the ones on the first and last cars and the conductor's car. But if the train's rerouted on the fly, there's not much you can do about the signs.

Things have changed, But the R32's do Breakdown less than the R46's so thats the only good thing, the other good thing is half of the R32's on the is for Rock Park service, and that means if on saturday when there is a lot of R32's in the Rock Park yard, 2 of those R32's with one R46 will be on the Rockaway Shuttle FTW!!! and the rest ether Far Rockaway or Lefferts for the week there are 12 R32's assigned to the today 5-7 trainsets for Rush Hour Service 5 Rock Park and 2 lefferts put ins and 4 for all day service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one was the R32's breakdown every 95,000 miles The R46 Breakdown every 76,000 miles and that was this year The only issue with the R32's is their HVAC units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason most are going to Far Rock/Rock Park is to cut down on the steel dust being taken into the compressors and filters (although not by much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( terrible computer joke anyway...) But seriously, it's kinda cool to see the r/f community basically excited. If nothing else, this equipment switch has gotten the railfans revitalized. Seeing the again pushed the nostalgia buttons just because I have enough time on me to remember it running main stream out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted July 30, 2011 Share #43 Posted July 30, 2011 Took a ride on an R46 Far Rock bound on Wed and found out the train was going to make all local stops. So, I get off at Hoyt and waited for the next which turned out to be a Rock Park . In the back of my mind, I'm thinking maybe it is an r32, and moments later, my intuition paid off. I knew I had no shot at the front so I opted for the last car. For the whole stretch of the run, it seemed like there was no trains at all. I was wondering if that local was pretty much the only train from Hoyt to Euclid. I took a few vids from the back and at Rock Park I got a few shots of it*. Such a great sight to see. *again backed up on photos, so won't be able to post them for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
