Princelex Posted September 23, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2011 It's too strange seeing the R142A in train territory. One thing that hits me looking at these pics and vids is that the R142A's look so damn good. It doesn't matter where they are in the system, they are just some good looking cars. Its gonna be a sad day when the majority of them leave the for the but they will do what they need to do over in the Flushing area and that makes me happy.

SIR North Shore Posted September 23, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 23, 2011 So from what was mentioned earlier this year, the MTA is giving the R142As from the , the R62s from the go to the and , and the gets R142s. Is that still going to happen? I don't see how they would run the without NTTs after having them for all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this has been mentioned before: The (7)'s R62A's will ALL go to the and will take all the R142A's from the . The reason is the LED indicators on the R62A's.

I don't see how they would run the without NTTs after having them for all these years.they arent going too give the or the any R62s at all from what i hear they are going to take some of the R142A from the and some from the not all of the R142As are going too be taken from the just a few sets and the R62s will go too the and the so they will have two different rolling stock,. thats a few years from now because they arent even ready at the kawa shop for maken them and the CBTC isnt ready on the flushing line.

Princelex Posted September 24, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 24, 2011 I know what you mean, I wish they could have gave em to the instead Personally, I don't want to see any changes to the IRT. I think what's there on all the lines now is what should remain until brand new cars come and replace the R62/A's many years from now but my opinion means 0 in this, cause it's all practically set in stone anyways. I think this has been mentioned before: The (7)'s R62A's will ALL go to the and will take all the R142A's from the . The reason is the LED indicators on the R62A's. I thought that there will be a few R142A sets that will still remain on the . It could have changed but that's what I had heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted September 24, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 24, 2011 The has more trains/cars than the , so by the numbers there's gonna be a few R142As left after the swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted September 24, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 24, 2011 :tup::tup::tup: videos! I don't know why people will not understand this but it is TOO EARLY to tell where the R62A's are going. We'll just have to wait and see. On a side note, I do know that there will not be enough R188 single cars to cover all of the fleet so there has to be another option order otherwise a few R62A's will still be on the in 2013.

Guest lance25 Posted September 24, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 24, 2011 The option order (123 new R188s, 350 converted R142As), slated to be awarded early next year, should provide enough cars for the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted September 24, 2011 Share #15 Posted September 24, 2011 And (all the buffs will love this little tidbit), when the 7 line program is active on an R142/A, the interior "next stop" signs show the route bullet ( 7 ) or < 7 > in an ORANGE color (the programs for 1,2,3 show it in red, and 4,5,6 show green). Where the cars go will be anyone's guess, but they'll need to do a better job differentiating the expresses and locals if/when they do put the cars over there. The LED side signs on the 62/A's were a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted September 24, 2011 Share #16 Posted September 24, 2011 I think its a purple color..... Besides, ITS TOO DAMN EARLY TO TELL!! Lets keep this R62A on the bullcrap OUT OF HERE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those LED's only have red and green dies (which mix to make yellow or amber, and it would also do orange if the program allows the green to be dimmed a bit, but I've never seen those signs do that).They would need blue to have purple, and has never bought full RGB signs. So yellow/amber is basically used for all other colors besides red and green. This you could see on the and , as well as the Nassau lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, this would explain why the color bullets on the R160 interior LEDs are so bland and monochrome... would it be in the (MTA)'s interest to buy a full RGB set?

Princelex Posted September 25, 2011 Share #24 Posted September 25, 2011 Question: When the R142A's go to the , will the in the front of the train have the appropriate purple color up there and not the red?
