trainfan22 Posted July 20, 2008 Share #26 Posted July 20, 2008 The is really becoming a mix bag these days, with the R32 cars, R38s, R40M cars, R42, and the 75 foot R44 cars. What if the borrowed some R68s from the or ? Probably won't happen, though. Yea that would be cool if some R68/As went on the line! I would love to ride one on the flats they would proably go like 80 mph esp with that hill to give them the head start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted July 21, 2008 Share #37 Posted July 21, 2008 I did at one time back in 2000 see a R44 NIS train Deadhead To CI Yard Via the Manny B. It was sooooo loud x_x;; And it looked so weird. I wish R46s would run across the Manny B more often. Those cars look the best across the bridge. I hope there will be more train weekend G.Os via the Manhattan Bridge coming. I'm going to try and get some good shots and spend lots of time on the Manny B since I live like a few blocks away from canal street XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 23, 2008 Share #38 Posted July 23, 2008 The first ever mixed set of R40Ms and R42s, pitkin style. Oh god how I hate it. This makes catching full sets of R40Ms on the hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed sets of R40M and R42 on . I had those days when catching an R42 on ( and just last year and the year before. People wonder, why are the hinges on an R40M and not on an R42? R40M and R42's do run together due to their similarities, but it's quite different on the inside. I see what you mean with the Mixed R40M/R42 train on . I don't like it that much either, but it is what it is. If you give up finding a full R40M set on the , then catch one on the (. There's still about 4-5 sets running on the . Or catch an full set of R42's on . I wish the would have one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes catching full sets of R40Ms on the hard.They use to do that when R42s were at CIY..... But hey, if they can run together just fine, they'll do it. Its like the 32s and 38s when they put those in a set. Now, what would real messed up is a train consisting on 32s/38s/40Ms/42s. That would be something and cool.

That was done back in the 1960-1970's. No mixed trains with slants, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure, thats a good idea for a museum consist. And if Pitkin gets Slants, sure, they'll probably see if they can work something like that up. That was done back in the 1960-1970's. No mixed trains with slants, pleaseYup, heres a picture.http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?5163 (I know theres a better one, but I can't seem to find it or remember what station it was taken at....)

Cait Sith Posted July 23, 2008 Share #44 Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah, but pitkin does it alot different, like before you would see half sets running, 4-car R32s and 4-car R38s on the in one train, or 6 R38s and 4 R32s. In this case, CIY did 2-4 R42s per lashup of 8 R40M sets. Piktin is just completely random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or this one recent one that I've seen, the 3rd and 4th car was R32s, and then the rest of the train was R38s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted July 23, 2008 Share #46 Posted July 23, 2008 Mm, true. Well, this time around, the R42s are dominating the lil bits of R40Ms XD Since back in CIY, the R40Ms dominated the leftover R42s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted July 23, 2008 Share #47 Posted July 23, 2008 It might have been the or or , i couldn't tell because i was at times square sitting on a bench and not really looking, but i noticed R32, R42, and R34 in one train as it pulled away. The last 3 cars were 3 different models with the R32 at the end. This was back in 2001. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
