YankeesPwnMets Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2977 Posted December 12, 2013 Don't worry too much. The windows on the NTTs have a thick plastic coating over them which can be peeled off and replaced if some idiot vandalizes the window. The actual glass itself doesn't get affected 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtransit Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2978 Posted December 12, 2013 Just wondering, Now that the test is passed, When will they start putting more R188's on the flushing line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrema94 Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2979 Posted December 12, 2013 Just wondering, Now that the test is passed, When will they start putting more R188's on the flushing line? thats fantastic ???????? R188 is approved ... it should start putting more R188 into service in January something like that , because the other one that are in the Coney Island Yard gotta go through with tests then they will send it to the Corona Yard for Service 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2980 Posted December 12, 2013 Apparently once the test passes 1 new set should go in service every week. Course, nothing's gone into service this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2981 Posted December 12, 2013 Funny, that frequency is exactly what I had in mind. 1 per week. Though that's usually the norm right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2982 Posted December 12, 2013 Just wondering, Now that the test is passed, When will they start putting more R188's on the flushing line? Starting in January, a new set will start service on the line every week, which means that those R62As are going to be gone before you know it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2983 Posted December 12, 2013 Starting in January, a new set will start service on the line every week, which means that those R62As are going to be gone before you know it. I was told the process will be complete in early 2015 with all R188's on the . Which is a short period of time for new rolling stock to be introduced on a line.

R32 3838 Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2984 Posted December 12, 2013 It may take longer that early 2015, the R142A's are going to Kawasaki to be converted, I would say mid 2015-early 2016 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2985 Posted December 12, 2013 Excellent list. Regarding the R62s, do you know which ones are there right now? 1406-1410 are off, sitting at 207th at the moment. I saw 1411-15 coupled to 1621-25 last night at Times Sq so there goes one part of your answer...dunno the other carts that are there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTOPRO Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2986 Posted December 12, 2013 It may take longer that early 2015, the R142A's are going to Kawasaki to be converted, I would say mid 2015-early 2016 Building the cars is what takes time. Converting them does not take a long time at all. All that's involved is a reconfiguration of set features to match the newly built cars and adding on 1 newly built C car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2987 Posted December 12, 2013 The new batch is already completed. It's the conversion sets that will take a longer time....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62AR33 Posted December 13, 2013 Share #2993 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) But How come I dont see it running on the any more? Im not sure , but from what i know . after testing it was supposed to stay in service, likely there are certain times that Corona Yard run it. But i caught it leaving Grand Central 2 or 3 days ago at pm rush hour. Edited December 13, 2013 by R62AR33 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i caught it leaving Grand Central 2 days ago at pm rush hour. In then that day the R188 was not out in service was due to some sort of isolated incident and not according to plans then, I guess. If we are all talking about yesterday, (unsure) then the fact that the system was in a Plan 3 due to the storm that now has passed may be a reason for the R188 no show.

ttcsubwayfan Posted December 13, 2013 Share #2995 Posted December 13, 2013 Will any 62s remain on the line around March break or Easter? That's the newest date for my trip into the city...

I bloody well hope it doesn't change again..!! Absolutely. There will be non-NTT equipment on the line for the next year, unless there's some unforeseen decision like sending the unconverted R142As off the early...however, I would assume all will go to plan, so I would expect 62As for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes get all the R62A and R142A pics you possibly can before the show is over and they drop the final curtains on an intricate part of IRT history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swaps are supposed to end late 2014-mid 2015 , but the flushing line wont be running cbtc itself until 2016.
