Nice use of sarcasm you can never believe a damn thing he says anymore.

 

Eh, Javier's got some good things to say once in a while that aren't bs...

 

Ohhhh, is THAT how we're gonna play this now. For everybody's attention, I said the R142A set that involves 7925. You people really need to stop with the sarcasm, it's getting annoying.

 

Lo siento I just had to say it, i'll stop from now on

I guess railfans are not fans of the R62A's on the (6) ... Since it's being vandalized with removal of strip maps and placed over the rollsign or car Number stickers being removed or renumbered. 0_o

 

Well I'm not a big fan of R62as on the (6) because of the reliability I'm pissed that the (6) is going to be all SMEES by next year.

Reliability in the sense of digital display & automated announcements.... big deal. Eventually all that will come but for now it is what it is and the chips fall were they may. The (6) line won't be entirely of SMEE equipment, there'll still be some R142As left over. It's NOT gonna be the "end of the world," the (6) used SMEE equipment many years prior to the year 2000. I dont think passengers care about reliability of service so much so then getting a seat, whether theres AC in the summer and heat in the winter, and getting from Point A to Point B as the ol'cliche goes (in peace) as long as the train is working & moving and the subway's are running. Also, you have the (4) & (5) EXPRESS for your NTT delight indulgence.

It's not going to be all SMEEs.

 

And the reliability of the R62As are fine. And are you trying to justify the vandalism that VIP described in his post? :huh:

 

No they are heavily vandalized I'm just saying that's not one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of R62as on the (6) and IMO the R142as will always fit the (6) the best my mistake I've heard that the (6) was supposed to become fully infected with SMEES.

Quick Question:

If 34 St wasn't built with tail tracks extension, would the number of R142A converts be reduced?

 

Idk but the tail tracks are crucial so they can bring Queens bound trains into service during rush-hour. 

 

On another note, I can't believe 7926 is here. Hard to believe the last time I saw 7486 was in June/July. I hope it's still a fairly nice car. Can't wait to see what this set is like on the (7), although I'll miss seeing it on the (6) occasionally.

I highly doubt that "railfans" are responsible for most of that. Or, honestly, even members of the public--at least for all of it.

Im Still wondering if 2141-2145 are going back to the (6) or will they be smart and send it to the (1) in exchange for either 1861-1865 or 1891-1895

I noticed they don't really use the brand new 188 sets that often, rode the (7) during PM rush today and only like 2 sets of the new 188s was running... I guess they don't want the Warranty to run out to fast.

Lol that too about the warrenty. And plus the converted sets out numbers the factory set so they'll use the converted sets more
