T J Trainman Posted April 11, 2014 Share #3701 Posted April 11, 2014 Yes that is correct. And I just saw 7877-7887 testing at 5th ave station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 11, 2014 Share #3702 Posted April 11, 2014 I hope the R142A's that get converted next get a clean inside. I don't want to see dim lighted cars with scratched up seats. I mean if you are going to call these trains R188's at least make them look new. Otherwise I would just say that Corona has R62A's R142A's and R188's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted April 11, 2014 Share #3703 Posted April 11, 2014 i doubt its maintenance when alot of the R62As on the don't have Led lights anymore on them.. All the cars I've seen have properly working LEDs, so I don't know what you're talking about. Now for the ones on the , it seems they freeze every time they switch from local to express. A lot of the time at Times Square I see diamond and circle on at the same time. I hope the R142A's that get converted next get a clean inside.

Remember, the number does not mean the model number, it means which contract it was built with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 11, 2014 Share #3704 Posted April 11, 2014 Call it what you want, they still look like crap, especially compared to the C-cars and the brand new sets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted April 12, 2014 Share #3705 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Yes that is correct. And I just saw 7877-7887 testing at 5th ave station. I saw it today, got it on camera. I ran into it at Court Square. This was at about 1PM. Only three I got. Edited April 12, 2014 by realizm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you mean but at the end of the day they still have R142A dirt and bodies. If it was going to be officially R188's why not just overhaul them like the R32's to R46's had back in 1990. Change the seats, lights almost everything. Once again this another instance where the gets a majority of the hand me down's. The last order Corona had where brand new cars replaced the entire old fleet was back in 1964 with the R33 and R36's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted April 12, 2014 Share #3708 Posted April 12, 2014 I saw 7887 testing today as well at 82 Street. I was going to look for it until I saw an R188 that looked like it just pulled into the yard with signs in the windows in Corona Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well look at the R11s. When they came in, they were only able to run with themselves. They were rebuilt to run with the other SMEEs and they were technically called R34s. It's more or less the same thing now Edited April 12, 2014 by Fresh Pond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted April 17, 2014 Share #3724 Posted April 17, 2014 Great video! I can't believe how fast all the R188s are coming in. Get your pics of the R62A on the before they are gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People still have about almost a year left for their R62A pics , people should get their R142A pics because once the is 100% R188s next year it will be really hard to get an R142A on the .. and if u havent gotten ur R62A pictures ull have till they retire for that lol Edited April 18, 2014 by R62AR33 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
