N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted December 16, 2012 Share #30 Posted December 16, 2012 Why aren't IRT cars wider and longer as BMT/IND cars. Have you seen uptown bound trains during 1pm-7pm. Sometimes I have to let two trains pass before I can get on a half-packed train. Will the MTA order wider and longer trains when the r62/A's retire? I only hope so Yes I know the Mta has kept the IRT tradition by having smaller cars, but they should break tradition. Well the IRT BMT IND was built differently and the wasn't even around.

Train Fan Posted December 16, 2012 Share #31 Posted December 16, 2012 No, sorry I'll have to disagree. Here's why: The A Division and B Division trains operate only in their own division; operating in the other division is not allowed. This is mainly because the IRT sections have narrower tunnel segments, tighter curves, and tighter platform clearances than the BMT/IND sections. Plus, the trains are lighter..... sooooo...... Your sure about that? IRT car can't operate on B div. lines? Really? http://images.nycsubway.org/i112000/img_112629.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted December 16, 2012 Share #34 Posted December 16, 2012 Your sure about that? IRT car can't operate on B div. lines? Really? http://images.nycsubway.org/i112000/img_112629.jpg A division trains *can't run in service* on b division because of a 1 foot wide gap bw the cars and the platforms. b division cars can't run on a division as those cars would crash into the platforms.
