Eric B Posted September 16, 2008 Share #126 Posted September 16, 2008 I understand that they will likely be getting them since crews are being qualified, but what is the reason for the in particular "needing" them to the point where is such a priority? Are there now similar dwell-time problems because of less doors with R-46s? The reason seems to be because the cars will still be based in Coney Island Yard, and of the Queens lines, has a major storage presence there. (But then, the does too, so who knows why they don't run them on that line). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted September 16, 2008 Share #129 Posted September 16, 2008 All Trains are based at Jamaica YD not CIYD they only there for storage and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted September 16, 2008 Share #130 Posted September 16, 2008 And that's the point. The will be borrowing CIYD equipment, in addition to the normal JYD fleet stored there, or based at the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While new trains on the would be nice, I think the priority right now should be getting new ventilation systems installed as well as preventing smoke conditions. Unfortunately due to budget cuts it seems like this has been postponed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately due to budget cuts it seems like this has been postponed. Updated fan plants for both the entire 63rd street tunnel and the roosevelt island station should be a priority for (NYCT). Also, they should provide more waste receptacles on platform level so stuff doesn't blow into the track area. Smoldering garbage should be seen as a serious safety threat to/by every person who uses the subway & preventative actions should be taken by all. As far as subway cars, it's a matter of time before half the cars in the system are NTT. I dont think we'll see regular NTT activity on the ( and till late december early january, the sheer number of cars being delivered will force their use on the "holdouts". - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe. From what's being said, I doubt that any R-142s, R-188s or w/e they're called are gonna see service quite that soon. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the info regarding their ordering, specifications, etc. still a bit sketchy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ023 Posted September 19, 2008 Share #137 Posted September 19, 2008 Agree. - A Still the same cars on the line. No changes. Same subway system as bad as ever. Tons of service advisories on the and till end of October with many of them already finished on the minus track work during peak hours. You never notice any changes or improvements.
