RTOMan Posted August 10, 2011 Share #26 Posted August 10, 2011 From what i heard, 2 sets of R32s has been sent to freshpond yard, ether for retiring or other purposes, and that R42 only runs during the AM and PM rush. I caught it entering at 6:16PM at 42nd street, brooklyn bound platform. I only seen One set there Yesterday when i went past last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted August 11, 2011 Share #28 Posted August 11, 2011 So many diff rumors, it would be nice to have 1 legit source.. Pretty much, idk what the whole purpose of the swapping is for.. For that I would move the R32s to some other line, bump the R46s (Some) from JAM, grab Coney Island R160s and send to to JAM and the R32s go to CI. Watch when the R46s are off the and its back to R32s.. People will be annoyed as hell.. Now they have to go to the 8 car marker or center. I agree and said the same thing, it makes no sense and it costs money and more manpower, the R46'S DROP like files on the , The C/R's has to make announcements that the train is going to here or there because of incorrect roll signs, They better off sending 50 R42's to the let ENY keep those R32's that they are shopping, let CI have about 50 cars and the rest can stay at 207th have 50 for the (2-3 for rock park service the other 2 can go to lefferts or Mott ave) and the rest can stay on the or go to jamaica for service Buy doing this the R32's would run way less, brakedown less, who gives a shit if they are in different yards, it would save time and miles on these cars let the be mostly R46's with half of the R32's and R42's to me this would make sense instead of the shit they are doing now and the R42 still looks like shit lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted August 11, 2011 Share #29 Posted August 11, 2011 Since they are running R46s on the , does this mean they are running 'extra cars' [R46train=10-car R32] or have they cut a few runs on the ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted August 12, 2011 Share #30 Posted August 12, 2011 from what ive seen, ALL C trains are 46s while the A has 46s, 32s and that one 42. So far i can confirm 2 R32 sets for Rockaway Pk Exp service. That 42 IS a loaner from ENY. The 32s that you do not see are having their HVACs repaired. Runs on the C were not cut. I see them on the same interval as before, everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoking66 Posted August 12, 2011 Share #31 Posted August 12, 2011 That is just the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Why would 2 more cars not make the curve while 8 can? Perhaps he got confused and meant that 75-foot cars aren't allowed through the Chrystie Street Connection because of Eastern Division restrictions?

Amtrak7 Posted August 12, 2011 Share #34 Posted August 12, 2011 Somewhat off-topic, as it has nothing to do with R42's, but it's the : Is it me, or have the number of R32's on the and R46's on the drastically increased compared to that really steamy Friday?

R68 Subway Car Posted August 14, 2011 Share #38 Posted August 14, 2011 I am guessing they are their to replace the (A)'s R46s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted August 15, 2011 Share #39 Posted August 15, 2011 I am guessing they are their to replace the (A)'s R46s. wouldnt doubt it. They've had the practice of having atleast dedicated trains just for Rock Pk. It makes sence with the hvac issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted August 16, 2011 Share #46 Posted August 16, 2011 I think the plan is still to send extra 32's over to replace the 42's. That was supposed to be done already, but perhaps they're waiting to do the SMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38th Street Yard Posted August 16, 2011 Share #47 Posted August 16, 2011 They likely went to ENY,maybe for A/C work. Eny would have did that set alot time ago and Cut them in the yard they have chains arouns the Trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Agree, but i wouldn't take all of them, the® could use 50 R32's that was the plan last year back in may when 207th was going to send 24 R32's for service, but Instead pitkin sent 2 trainsets of R46's back for in exchange for those 26 R32's, If anything the SHOULD use those 50 R42's with some R32's and the rest R46's And send the 50 R32's to ENY, That would make the R42's LAST Much longer all they need to do is fix them up and send them to 207th for service just keep the full lengh they have enoguh cars they just need to send some R32's somewhere else.

MattTrain Posted August 17, 2011 Share #49 Posted August 17, 2011 The R-32s on the seem like a good idea. The C/R would be in the middle since the T/O's cab (on the 4th and 5th cars of the train) also has the C/R's controls too, unlike the R-42, (hope I'm not wrong in this part, correct me if I am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
