Brighton Express Posted October 15, 2012 Share #51 Posted October 15, 2012 I'm not sure where you're going with that comment. It's pretty much common knowledge around this forum that the 188s will run in five- and six-car sets to make a full 11-car train, just like it is now with the 62As. R62s have 11 Car trains? You learn something new everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted October 15, 2012 Share #52 Posted October 15, 2012 We've all seen things be changed by the last minute, so like I said... The only purpose of the R188 contract is to end up with a fleet of cars compatible with the Flushing CBTC system currently under construction. The cars are being configured in equal numbers of 5-car and 6-car sets and are being equipped with CBTC packages compatible with the system under construction on the Flushing line. R62s have 11 Car trains? You learn something new everyday. He said 62As. The 7 currently runs 11-car trains of R62A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that with the overall, most things aren't as certain as you two are making them out to be and that is no secret. This is one of the few cases where things should remain as they currently have been proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Express Posted October 15, 2012 Share #54 Posted October 15, 2012 He said 62As. The 7 currently runs 11-car trains of R62A's. Well sorry for the inaccuracy, even though it was pretty clear what I meant. If it wasn't, I was responding to Lance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the few cases where things should remain as they currently have been proposed. If a contract is awarded for one specific purpose, then it's pretty obvious that things won't be arbitrarily changed to defeat that very purpose. Note that I haven't said anything about precisely where the 7's R62A's will go. A lot of people seem to assume it's the 6, but it could just as well be the 4. (The 2 and 5 are unlikely.) But there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the R188's will all go to the 7. Well sorry for the inaccuracy, even though it was pretty clear what I meant. If it wasn't, I was responding to Lance. It wasn't and still isn't clear to me at all, and you made a public post on a message board, so I don't know why you're objecting that the "wrong" person responded.

Perhaps they don't make sense to you because you don't stop to think about them. They make a lot of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted October 15, 2012 Share #59 Posted October 15, 2012 Perhaps one might disagree with the logic when one knows what it is, but one cannot deny that the logic is there, provided they know the background to the situation. But this instance is not confusing at all. The R188s will go to the 7. There is no other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanfortitude Posted October 17, 2012 Share #61 Posted October 17, 2012 I don't know what the numbers/statistics say about any of these cars. But when I ride any of these I don't find myself noticing any mechanical faults so to me the cars are reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted October 26, 2012 Share #63 Posted October 26, 2012 Yes there is. The 2 makes 49 stops (not including the Manhattan local stops, which the current map doesn't include). The 5 makes 15 additional stops not shared with the 2. That's a total of 61 distinct stops. Since there are more than 61 lights available, the system as it exists today can support a combined 2/5 map that assigns each light to only one station. I kept putting this off and then forgot, but here's with the Dyre line receiving its own lights: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is more annoying than riding a and it's a set of train cars and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted October 28, 2012 Share #65 Posted October 28, 2012 I kept putting this off and then forgot, but here's with the Dyre line receiving its own lights: As I already said, there's no need for any light to correspond to more than one station. There are only 61 distinct stations on the 2 and 5 combined, and there are (supposedly) 65 lights. The typeface here is smaller than necessary, and there's no way that tourists can be expected to know to look up on the 2 but down on the 5. If each light corresponds to only one station, the station names only have to go on top, and the colored stripe can indicate which ones are served by the 2, by the 5, or by both. I'm not a graphic designer or I'd post one of my own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted November 22, 2012 Share #68 Posted November 22, 2012 Still very hard to image how the will print it out and fit into the interiors of all R142s assigned to the and trains. Nice work by the way Eric B the NYCS train operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
