RollOver Posted July 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2012 B Division cars should be like this: 600 R32s (220 in service on the A train and 2 in work service, the rest of the fleet were retired) 400 R42s (50 in service on the A train and the rest were retired) 342 R44s (64 in service on the SIR and the rest are retired) 754 R46s (144 in service on the C train, 48 in service on the G, 232 in service on the R, 16 in service on the Rockaway Park Shuttle and 88 in service on the A train) The rest of the R46 fleet are on standby. 425 R68s (288 in service on the D train, 8 in service on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle, 128 in service on the W train) 200 R68As (all in service on the B train) 208 R143s (all in service on the L train, only four are out of service) 1,662 R160s (260 in service on the E train, 420 in service on the F train, 176 in service on the J/Z trains, 232 in service on M train, 260 in service on the N train, 250 in service on the Q train, and 64 in service on the L train) NOTE: The W train comes back operating between Astoria and Whitehall. But not Brooklyn, not enough cars. Brooklyn service is only the D, N, and R on Fourth Avenue and the D on West End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted July 5, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2012 128 cars on the is 16 trains, that is enough if the ran every 8-10 minutes in Brooklyn and only went to 9th Avenue. And I see the way you arranged the cars, but I think a line is going to lose out... And plus, there are 224 R46 cars not in use! Those could be used on the until they are retired.

S78 via Hylan Posted July 5, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 5, 2012 Actually, there are 63 R44's currently running on the SIR. Car 402 was retired after a derailment back in late 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoTimer Posted July 5, 2012 Share #17 Posted July 5, 2012 I guess this presumes every car operational, no spares, no extra trains for gaps, school car, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted July 5, 2012 Share #18 Posted July 5, 2012 Yes. And there shouldn't be a problem running with 0% spares in the fleet, should there? I mean, I can't think of any reason why that wouldn't work. Seriously though, when planning fleet allocations, assume a spare of at least 15% minimum. (and that is a pretty bare bones minimum...) On a side note- dancing lock posts are about as useful as a clinic to treat virgins with STDs. Does anyone who finds a thread like this annoying not realize their hypocrisy? Complaining about a post of questionable value with a post of absolutely no value. And I am not necessarily saying such is the case here, but some of the posts I have seen people want to close have sprung valuable discussions. Furthermore, such behavior is incredibly rude and unwelcoming to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubwayStation Posted July 5, 2012 Share #19 Posted July 5, 2012 Sorry, guys, for the "lock" post. I'm realizing that you're right, Art Vandelay. Responding to posts that seem pointless with "lock" posts doesn't do anything. I guess the only time when the "lock" is appropriate is during out-of-control threads, if at all...

Roadcruiser1 Posted July 5, 2012 Share #20 Posted July 5, 2012 True. This thread could turn out very useful in the future in determining the amount of cars that can run, and where they should run. Not for foaming of course, but as a logic on deciding on expansion, or new subway service. It's not a bad thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't attack anyone here. Give us evidence of how all the R46s are used since you're trying to be all smart and mighty. Check the damn JoeKorner.com. 176 are on the , 144 on the , 24 (or 16 or 8 if wrong) are on the , 232 on the , and 12 on the ROCKAWAY PARK SHUTTLE! Only 588 in service! Don't forget, Joe Korner is a former MTA transit worker who has all the official subway car assignments in general! AND Wikipedia follows that as well. Now I can see why you said what you just said, because you only care about what your first glance at a text could be instead of paying more attention on what others are trying to say!

Art Vandelay Posted July 6, 2012 Share #25 Posted July 6, 2012 588 R46s needed for daily service. 752 total in fleet. that makes roughly a 22% spare. You wouldn't want to schedule more than a few more trains to run with the R46 fleet. Also, I wouldn't expect the R46s to go to SI anytime soon, unless they tack a supplemental order onto the R179s or cancel SAS (I find both to be unlikely, but the former is a substantially more likely event than the latter).
