7-express Posted April 2, 2018 Share #6951 Posted April 2, 2018 The flashing greens were definitely alive for the morning rush on the 7 today. Though I'm not sure if that or the snow started to mess things up. One run was skipped while the run I took felt a bit slower going through the switches after Willets Point and around 74 Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted April 3, 2018 Share #6952 Posted April 3, 2018 So basically, those remaning R62As at corona are withdrawn from operating on the untill they are finally transferred over to the (6). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted April 3, 2018 Share #6953 Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) If that's the case, then it'll be like that R142A on the 6 "Not In Service" for a long time (except its the repairs that's causing that pause) Edited April 3, 2018 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-express Posted April 3, 2018 Share #6956 Posted April 3, 2018 Something is definitely going on with the CBTC signals around Main Street and Willets Point. Second morning rush in a row with trains running slower than normal through the area. It's as if the signaling system can't handle all the switch moves that go on in this area at this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMac18 Posted April 3, 2018 Share #6957 Posted April 3, 2018 There is a R142A is still operating on the as of this morning. Witnessed at Cypress Av in the Bronx going downtown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exceptions will be made except in a CBTC zone controller failure, which means that ONLY CBTC-equipped trains can operate there during normal service, and only CBTC-qualified train operators may work the line. The last sets of R62A's were transferred to Westchester Yard last night. ATPM? WSP? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted April 5, 2018 Share #6970 Posted April 5, 2018 Automatic Train Protection Mode might take some getting use to for some T/Os if I'm not mistaken. I was on an R188 with a decent view of the train operator's CBTC console screen through the cab door window and I saw how the T/O was trying to really cope with the functions of the current speed and permissible speed as we passed several blinking signals btw Mets-Willets and 61st-Woodside. Afterwards, when the train went to Wayside Signal Protection (WSP) mode after 61st the ride seemed fairly regular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted April 5, 2018 Share #6971 Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Yes those last 15 cars were OOS for a good 6 months. One of them was even being scrapped for spare parts. Mosholu wouldn't accept them when they took the other units, not that they could even make the trip without being horsed. I haven't worked Westchester or the in quite a while so I'm not sure what the current story is with them except they appear to have them running and are now making sure that they're in good shape before getting transferred. I've been operating the in ATPM for a couple weeks now and it's no problem for me.....those who spent their whole career working the 62As might need some adjustment. I know some just chose to flee the line rather than Can't Believe This Crap. Edited April 5, 2018 by Snowblock 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted April 5, 2018 Share #6973 Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) So, If I read this correctly, when 7596-7610 was still at Westchester (they were OOS for the winter season), Mosholu wouldn't take those cars? Also, I heard 7661-5 is still at 207 St Shop. ---- Also, just realized that 2456-2475 was there at Westchester so, it'll be fully R62As.
