Lance Posted October 25, 2017 Share #6853 Posted October 25, 2017 I caught one yesterday morning. They're still around, but as a severe minority fleet, there may be days when they aren't in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayParkwayW Posted November 2, 2017 Share #6857 Posted November 2, 2017 Just saw R62A 1960 on the back in the flushing bound lead (with the rfw), it was in the middle of the train for months, the same train as 1920. Is this the last R62A set at Corona? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak706 Posted December 5, 2017 Share #6867 Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) So it seems that the R62As are finally dwindling on the . Once they are all gone, will that enable CBTC to finally start up or is there another issue that is precluding that?

They installed new wayside signals on the during the CBTC overhaul as otherwise no museum trains or work trains would be able to use Flushing. If CBTC fails, they can shut it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
