MHV9218 Posted October 24, 2013 Share #76 Posted October 24, 2013 The never does anything nostalgic. Don't hold your breath. To be fair, they did run the Arnines for the re-opening of the A to Far Rock... In fact, they were so nostalgic that they put the same banner "Rockaway Here We Come" on the train as when the line first opened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll concede that and not to get off topic, but they reefed redbirds and just scrapped two popular cars. An out of body experience surely occurred or they knew the moment called for it.

Well remember, when new South Ferry opened, there was no special train or anything To be fair, there's nothing preventing the to cooperate with the transit museum to bring out some cars... Other than the cost to make sure the trains can actually run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted October 24, 2013 Share #83 Posted October 24, 2013 They can use the train of many colors or take off the R12, R15 and R17 off the train and put on R36 ML 9542-9543. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted December 7, 2013 Share #87 Posted December 7, 2013 The never does anything nostalgic. Don't hold your breath. Well, they did run the TOMC for the 2013 ASG at CitiField. But I would probably think they'd run the R188 there since it's a new train opening up the new station. So I don't think they'd bring the old cars out just for that, but never say never and they can always change their minds in a snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted December 7, 2013 Share #88 Posted December 7, 2013 Yankee low-V trips. Mets TOMC runs. Arnines to re-open the Rockaways. The shoppers specials. And that's just the non-museum backed runs. So I'd say they're big on historic and nostalgic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted December 8, 2013 Share #90 Posted December 8, 2013 That's what I can vaguely recall when the loop reopened. No major fanfare just yet another R62 rolling in for the northbound run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtehpanda Posted December 8, 2013 Share #93 Posted December 8, 2013 The inaugural train will probably be a R188; Hudson Yards and the R188 are the "future" of New York and the MTA, so this would be most appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pretty garish to have the oldest trains in the newest station in a photo op. The only time the MTA has used heritage trains is for things that are either long traditions (Yankees & Shoppers specials) or restoring service that already existed (using the train that first served the Rockaways to serve the Rockaways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtehpanda Posted December 14, 2013 Share #99 Posted December 14, 2013 I wonder if the 7 train can be any more crowded If it becomes crowded, it'll become crowded away from Midtown, so it won't be too big of a problem on the trains themselves. I see passenger circulation becoming a problem though, particularly at Grand Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of mechanical problems there is no trains between 42 street and 34 street transfer to the This would require a switch or signal failure, neither of which is likely since the tracks are the newest in the system.
