RTOPRO Posted December 14, 2013 Share #3001 Posted December 14, 2013 But How come I dont see it running on the any more? It's in the barn. It ran into a compressor problem. Once sorted out it will hit the road again. It passed the test before the compressor problem. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted December 14, 2013 Share #3002 Posted December 14, 2013 Thats true. R62A pics on the and R142A pics, RFW vids of the extension if at all possible. As many of them as possible before the swap in itself is complete. Throwback pics and vids for the history books. Nice. 24 Hr R188 service. This will be convenient as I don't get too many opportunities to ride the R188 weekdays. Didn't someone say that there would be 3-4 sets of R142As that will remain on the 6? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely as there will be some R142A's left after the R188 order is complete. Not all the R162A cars will be used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted December 14, 2013 Share #3004 Posted December 14, 2013 There will be more than 70 R142As left, the can possibly loose their R142A's to the making both lines 50/50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as put ins if not by personal assignment? (I mean there are some R142As on the as it is, and I dont know if that will remain so or if RCD and superintendents will decide to ship them to the Pelham Bay Line.) If you may bring me up to date on this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you may bring me up to date on this one. There will be 6-7 sets of R142As remaining as far as im concerned most of the R62As from Flushing, 380 cars are going and are staying on the and won't go anywhere else , but there will be 3-5 sets of R62As remaining wich might be split with the other irt lines so you might see some assigned to the .

Yup, I have a feeling that may be the way how it may turn out simply because the yards are a bit loose on the general rule to keep rolling stock assigned to routes exclusive to fleet type nowadays. That is until everything changed with the Montague St closure affecting the and and of course the past / / swaps.

RTOPRO Posted December 14, 2013 Share #3008 Posted December 14, 2013 I don't know where you guys are getting this R62A on the 4 business from but as of right now, that's not the plan at all. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted December 15, 2013 Share #3011 Posted December 15, 2013 The 62As will run on the 6, the converted 142As will run on the 7. That has been the plan from the beginning and it has not changed. Maybe if the 4 ran the majority of the 142As and not the 6 line, the former would be the recipient of the 62As. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted December 15, 2013 Share #3012 Posted December 15, 2013 I doubt it, its all about parts, why would Westchester keep 70 R142A's while the 4 has over 140 of em its smart to give the R142A from the to the or make the 100% R62A's, it makes sense to make the 50/50, why would you have the same equipment in 3 yards and you could just simplify things by having them in 2 yards instead of 3, in 2014-15 we'll see what goes down, but all the assignments are subject to change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted December 15, 2013 Share #3013 Posted December 15, 2013 But clearly, it will only be fewer 142As left on the . Every single A Division shop houses one or two car types. The has enough trains to fully maintain its service levels. The will too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly work service with the advantage of compatibility as cabs for both divisions? All the post WW2 cars are being slowly retired so it makes me wonder sometimes.... I mean I'm aware of the plans for the R32's but they cant fit IRT clearances so.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted December 17, 2013 Share #3018 Posted December 17, 2013 I don't see the need to split the R62as b.w the 4/6. Just send them all to the 6. The remaining R142as on the 6 should be swapped for some R142s so the 4 has all the remaining regular R142as (not to mention are probably better maintained on the 4 than the 6). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted December 19, 2013 Share #3021 Posted December 19, 2013 according to subchat poster Stef R188 Recap: 7838-43 are delivered and were transferred from 239th St to Pitkin Yard Last Night. One of the SBK Locos operated as the lead loco going South. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTOPRO Posted December 19, 2013 Share #3022 Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah 7822-32 are at Corona and 7211-7899-7220 came out of the barn and left the yard all together. 1776-1780-2016-2020 might be the next to depart Corona for Westchester. It sits attached as just the 10 cars a track close to the lead. The fact that no single is attached raises an eyebrow. Considering something new was just delivered to see it make it's way to the 6 wouldn't be a surprise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
