R32 3348 Posted November 18, 2008 Share #151 Posted November 18, 2008 this is freakin awsome! yay! finally,the gets R142A + R188's! that is what i call a nice combo! just hope it starts at 2009 or 2010 Under the R188 contract IINM, R142As would be converted to R188s. Just some extra stuff, nothing major, like what you would do if you were to convert an R143 into an R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted November 20, 2008 Share #155 Posted November 20, 2008 Forest Hills - 71st Ave. isn't in any real need of a rehab. There are many more stations which deserve them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted November 21, 2008 Share #158 Posted November 21, 2008 Tht's true, it could use a renovation. Just not a full-fledged one though ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtransit Posted November 22, 2008 Share #159 Posted November 22, 2008 Well, Roosevelt Ave, Queens Plaza and Union TPK had why not the last old main station be renovated? And I think it is still too early to replace R-44 and R-46. R62/A and R68/A are too too early. They are running fine, no problems that needs replacement... there not gonna get retired,they may be just moved to other lines for extra service,if they get retired,then that will suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexpress Posted November 22, 2008 Share #160 Posted November 22, 2008 Great news The R188 project is cancelled because of the buget cut backs so the R62/R62A will not retire early no more and R188 will never be built. The R44 will be 40 years old in 2013 and it will retire in 2014 or 2015 and will be replaced by the R179. The R46 will be 40 years old in 2017 and it will be replaced by any subway car after R179. The R68/R68A will not retire early until there 40 years old in 2029. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted November 22, 2008 Share #161 Posted November 22, 2008 Source...? Either way it dodesn't really matter since the R62 are in good condition. All it means is thaT CBTC will be delayed on the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainmaster5 Posted December 19, 2008 Share #175 Posted December 19, 2008 Where did you get that idea from? From some foamer's lips or whatever . If you've been reading the newspapers or watching TV recently new cars are not in the budget or pipeline for NYCT and won't be even if Albany or NYC could help the . If these cuts all go in effect there will be trains and buses sitting in yards and depots unused. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
