Brighton Express Posted November 6, 2012 Share #2 Posted November 6, 2012 Nice shots, looks like the R46s did not suffer that much exterior damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted November 13, 2012 Share #3 Posted November 13, 2012 I notice that in the second to last picture, the orange NYCT vest that the employee is wearing looks a little different compared to most others which I have seen throughout the system. Just for curiosity, does anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerdodge9 Posted November 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted November 13, 2012 Could be a newer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted November 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2012 Some sub departments have various labels patched onto their vests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedChikkin Posted November 13, 2012 Share #7 Posted November 13, 2012 Most likely a new/rarely used vest. White helmet = supervisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted November 14, 2012 Share #8 Posted November 14, 2012 Those R46 don't look damaged at all, though I could be wrong. Nice pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoTimer Posted November 14, 2012 Share #10 Posted November 14, 2012 BTW of the four units that sat in floodwaters in 207, they were able to salvage two of them (both at the south end, so 5840 will run again) but the back two units at the block end will be scrapped, the water was much higher there since the grade is towards the block. The entering end of 207 is the highest point of track in the immediate area, with it sloping down in both directions, more severely toward Dyckman obviously.

Just for curiosity, does anyone know why? He's wearing one of the new vests. The MTA dropped IBNYS, which used to make the old vests. The new vests are now made in China.

Grand Concourse Posted November 16, 2012 Share #13 Posted November 16, 2012 BTW of the four units that sat in floodwaters in 207, they were able to salvage two of them (both at the south end, so 5840 will run again) but the back two units at the block end will be scrapped, the water was much higher there since the grade is towards the block. The entering end of 207 is the highest point of track in the immediate area, with it sloping down in both directions, more severely toward Dyckman obviously. So the 6200? AB pair that is currently used for parts, would that be used again while the water logged cars are scrapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted November 16, 2012 Share #14 Posted November 16, 2012 I'm not aware of what numbers the other consists had, have to ask Dan on that one. Anything up around 6200 are not AB, but AA, with cabs and compressors on each end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 16, 2012 Share #15 Posted November 16, 2012 Ok, so it's in the high 6100s then, but I believe someone mentioned that AB pair was used for parts because the no longer needed 6 car trains and I guess all the AA pairs are enough to fill out all the 4 car 'sets'. Basically, if the 2 cars from 207th are gone: would it be possible to get that 6100 AB set fixed up and run it with the surviving pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
