Bill from Maspeth Posted August 25, 2013 Share #38 Posted August 25, 2013 R46's seem to run on the every other train. If it seems that way that's not the intention. The dispatcher doesn't care how many consecutive R46's there are, how many consecutive R160's there are or any combination thereof. He has intervals to make service. He has to keep track of what trains need to go to Jamaica yard for "attention". He has to crew up trains......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E For Erica Posted August 25, 2013 Share #39 Posted August 25, 2013 I remember when the just got the 160s & there was this weekend where the was re-routed to Euclid and they didnt run ANY R160s on it. It was kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the R32s don't belong to the they were very few on the , they were mostly on the and with the rest being on the , ,, after GOH, the have a few sets in 1991-1994 then again from 2001-2009 (they came from the when it was shorten to 4 cars) after GOH the R32s made brief appearances on the ,,, and also on the in the early 90's and 2001, also with 207th's shitty maintenance and constant complaints the R32's are rumored to go elsewhere, just because the is the longest line doesn't mean it should have the oldest equipment, if anything the should have R160s with 1/4th of it being R32s instead of R46s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted August 26, 2013 Share #48 Posted August 26, 2013 That took me by surprise because the R44s on the MTA SIR are usually sent to CI yard for heavy maintenance. So I guess it's the 207th Street shops that does the dirty work on the MTA Subways R46's, and Jamaica Yard that does usual inspections and light maintenance: There are three distinct facilities with similar names. Coney Island Yard is a storage facility, not a maintenance facility of any sort. It stores trains. That's it. Coney Island Maintenance Shop is responsible for everyday maintenance and scheduled inspections of the R160's, R68's, and R68A's assigned to the B, G, N, Q, and Franklin shuttle. It also, apparently, helps out on the R during the week. There haven't been any R46's assigned to Coney Island in decades. Coney Island Overhaul Shop is responsible for major overhaul work - SMS and the like - on all B Division cars. (I think the Corona fleet also has its SMS work at Coney Island Overhaul Shop - can anyone confirm?) The 46s should be on the . Im kinda tired of seeing them on the . But the riders just gonna PMS about it so that can never happen . The R46's have 32 doors per train on each side. The R160's have 40 doors per train on each side. Since ridership on the E is very heavy, 40-door trains are typically assigned to the line, to keep dwell times down. Since the early 90's, the E ran almost exclusively R32's, then R42's for a short period during the R160's phase-in, and now R160's. Don't expect to see R46's on a regular basis. (Of course, in a pinch, R46's can run on the line.) Contrary to popular belief, NYCT doesn't assign cars based on who they expect to complain. (The overwhelming majority of riders don't care one way or the other, as long as the car is air conditioned and reliably gets them where they're going.)

R32 3838 Posted August 26, 2013 Share #49 Posted August 26, 2013 All of corona's R62A SMS work was done in 207th St overhaul shop recently, but for years the corona cars did get heavy work done at CI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted August 26, 2013 Share #50 Posted August 26, 2013 (The overwhelming majority of riders don't care one way or the other, as long as the car is air conditioned and reliably gets them where they're going.) And to make up for that, the rest of them complain 3x times as much! That tidbit about the overhaul shop is interesting, though - where do the A division cars get sent for overhauls (minor the Corona ones)? 207?
