Tomtoon Posted May 31, 2014 Share #3951 Posted May 31, 2014 You can tell the new R188 C Car on the R142's as it looks blue and new inside where the R142's look dull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted May 31, 2014 Share #3952 Posted May 31, 2014 Looks like the will be all R188s today. Smart move considering the R62As don't have "74th St-Broadway on the roll signs. Also saw 7233 at Main St today. Looks like they have solved the issue with the R142A conversion set 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted May 31, 2014 Share #3954 Posted May 31, 2014 He probably meant he saw the 7231-7239-7901-7240 set at Main street. That set is running today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted June 1, 2014 Share #3956 Posted June 1, 2014 Turn up! Are the door motors the same? I see the lights and exterior LED is just like an R142A. Love it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they were borrowed from the , but rather the . The is recieving R188s, so all those extra R62s are going onto the . The R142s are converted into R188s for the . Plus, R62s have been running on the since they got the R188s, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted June 7, 2014 Share #3959 Posted June 7, 2014 The 62As currently on the 6 have, for the most part, come from Corona. Easiest way to tell is the LED local/express indicators on the sides. The cars R62AR33 is talking about doesn't have those LEDs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R142s are converted into R188s for the . Plus, R62s have been running on the since they got the R188s, I think. Not trying to be rude man, but i know why the R62As are coming back to the , long story short incase u didn't know R62As ran on the when they first came in 1987-2002 . They went to Flushing in 2002 because back then the R142As couldn't fit in the steinway tubes. Now that the tubes are fixed the R188 order was ordered wich consists of 380 R142As to be converted with CBTC and 123 new built cars. Of course since all of the converted R142As are coming from the the R62As from the (formally from the ) are being sent back to the to replace the converted cars. The Easiest way to tell an R62A from flushing is the purple stickers on the bottom and the Led Lights. Also Flushing's R62As were 1651-2155 with exception of 1826-1830,1841-1900 wich are on the . Then the R62As on the are 1826-1830,1841-1900, 2156-2475 and on the bottom they have Red stickers and don't use Led lights either.

R62AR33 Posted June 8, 2014 Share #3963 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) They're only being borrowed? I was on 2309 yesterday and they put in the strip maps already Yea just borrowed until Corona can send more R62As to Westchester... and they still put their strip maps on them so that passengers don't complain about where are the maps at. Iv heard from a few sources not yet confirmed when the swaps are done , Westchester and 240st will swap R62As so that Westchester yard can have R62As 1651-2000 and 240st yard 2001-2475 . Also it seems that Westchester will go back to their older yellow yard stickers cause iv started see them peel the purple stickers already especially on 1791-1795. I spotted 2141-2145 on the and its now full width cab. Edited June 8, 2014 by R62AR33 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewJC Posted June 8, 2014 Share #3965 Posted June 8, 2014 I hope they don't. Hope the decides to do something like the with both R160s and R46s. The 6 will mostly run R62A's, but some R142A's will still run, simply because they're not all needed on the 7.6 riders will cope the same way 1 and 3 riders cope today. For the most part, they don't even care. About ATS, what is the difference between it and CBTC? Don't they both locate trains?CBTC is a type of signal system, which enforces safe train separation and safe interlocking operation, much like the old wayside signals we're all used to seeing. ATS is an overlay on top of a signal system that automatically tracks trains and routes them through interlockings. Not trying to be rude man, but i know why the R62As are coming back to the , long story short incase u didn't know R62As ran on the when they first came in 1987-2002 . They went to Flushing in 2002 because back then the R142As couldn't fit in the steinway tubes. Nonsense. They didn't run on the 7 at first because they were in five car sets, because Corona Shop wasn't yet equipped to handle the roof mounted HVAC units, and because there simply was no pressing reason to run them on the 7 rather than the 6. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think yellow yard stickers--or yard stickers at all--are coming back. What was the reason for them to change the yard stickers when the R62a went over to Corona anyways?

realizm Posted June 11, 2014 Share #3973 Posted June 11, 2014 The had R29s also Yup. Back in the days pre-R142A deployment, a mixup of R62As and post WW2 SMEEs (R29's and a few R36's) ran on the 6. They also ran on the & along with the R36 WF cars before the R62As were reassigned to Corona. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
