Calvin Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2952 Posted December 6, 2013 just wondering: normally a R142 or R142A, a train has 10 cars and the c/r position is on the 6th car north and south, im wondering how come on the R188 , the c/r position is at the 5th car out of 11 cars but cannot open at the 6th car like all other trains 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTOPRO Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2954 Posted December 6, 2013 just wondering: normally a R142 or R142A, a train has 10 cars and the c/r position is on the 6th car north and south, im wondering how come on the R188 , the c/r position is at the 5th car out of 11 cars but cannot open at the 6th car like all other trains Because that would require the 6th car having two operating cabs on both sides. Such a car would have to be a single. NYCT after the 62s are gone will be done with singles. Times Square bound the 5 car is the operating cab for the C/R and Main Street bound it's the 6th car just as it is now with the 62As. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2955 Posted December 6, 2013 Once the 188s pass the C/Rs cars will be the 6th car south bound and the 7th car north bound same way as the redbirds were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGeMiNix Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2956 Posted December 6, 2013 Correct me if I am wrong, but being an avid rider for many years. When the R62As came, I believe they reworked the C/R boards for the 5th car, so I am guessing they will probably have to extend them again for the R188s when the 6th car is used again. Although, I guess in the grand scheme of things, it is a minor issue? I always just assumed being on the board is very crucial in operation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2958 Posted December 6, 2013 The boards were never moved. All they did was put the 5 car sets on the south end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGeMiNix Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2959 Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) The boards were never moved. All they did was put the 5 car sets on the south end. Ah ok, it seemed like they moved a little bit lol, or the board is just very short. I know the boards at the 6th car board with the yellow and red got removed years ago when the Redbirds disappeared off the line. Anyways, rode the R188 today, probably my 8th time now. Had an issue today as it did on the 5th day in operation, the Thursday of the first week, which the door on the left side Manhattan bound on 7819 got stuck again with the light staying on while it was closed. But as like last time, right as one of the supervisors I am guessing on the ends of the car, say pull it out of service, it closes itself properly with the light going off. The R188 is mad slick lol. Just an interesting experience on the ride. I hope the new metal type smell goes away at some point on those trains, it is still there faintly and it is just weird to smell it throughout the whole ride.

iGeMiNix Posted December 9, 2013 Share #2965 Posted December 9, 2013 Saw the train today in service at 33rd. I am gonna guess it passed the test? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted December 9, 2013 Share #2966 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) I heard it failed twice before but that's not confirmed. I'm now thinking it could be since it's still going out on it's own schedule. I saw it on the this morning at 7 am. I wonder why they put a cab on the middle car as that cab is never used. It also brings me to the question, what if they turn the train around and the 6 and 5-car sets are on the wrong end (so that there is no cab where the board is)? Doesn't that mean they can't run the train? It ends this sunday and yep if it passes then in January each week a new set will enter service on the . I just want to know if Westchester Yard will go back to Yellow Yard stickers or if Purple will represent the R62As on the now, Considering that all strip maps are off of all 5 sets of R62As on the and ,when a set gets swapped back it will get its strip maps taken out before re entering service on the . They no longer use the stickers for yards. Note how the R62 still have stickers for the . Blue represents the , Orange represents the . Also, 1795 has a missing sticker, but I don't think they're taking them off. Edited December 9, 2013 by 4P3607 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
