YankeesPwnMets Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3078 Posted December 27, 2013 I hate to be the one that says it but you shouldn't be that close to the edge in the first place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3079 Posted December 27, 2013 Which is a critical point to bring up, as I see people foolishly leaning over the edges of the platforms all the time. I mean noone's perfect but common sense should dictate that if you lean over the edge or rush yourself while in the station you may fall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreechyFlange Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3080 Posted December 27, 2013 I hate to be the one that says it but you shouldn't be that close to the edge in the first place Especially with all of the CBTC stuff being done and the random announcements that remind customers to stay away from the platform edge, I have mixed feelings on this situation I feel sorry for her to die in such a horrific way but on the other hand she should've known better. Sad as it is this is losing shock value for the worse. This is quite common, so common that it's to almost be expected. Sad but true 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3081 Posted December 27, 2013 Honestly, at some of these stations, it's so crowded on the platform that you have no choice but to walk near the platform edge. Even though she died in a horrific way, it doesn't mean that it was her fault that she fell in the tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3082 Posted December 27, 2013 Well the somewhat good news is that the women is not dead - yet. Hopefully she will survive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3083 Posted December 27, 2013 Yes in fact now that this incident is hitting the newspapers, it has been cited by eyewitnesses that as the paramedics were rushing the woman out of GCT she was still (amazingly) conscious with her eyes open, although she could not speak being in severe shock and bleeding profusely. I didn't read anything about loss of limbs. I think she may survive this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3084 Posted December 27, 2013 I hope she survives. Using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3085 Posted December 27, 2013 Really hope that she is doing good at the moment and will survive. On another note though, how long would a train be taken out of service for investigation or other purposes after incidents like this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTAFan Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3086 Posted December 27, 2013 Just spotted 7811-7821 leaving 40th at 12:00 pm heading towards Main Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note though, how long would a train be taken out of service for investigation or other purposes after incidents like this? How many sets are on the 7 line now? I saw 7811-7821 going to Times Square from ssyd but then shortly after that I've seen another set but I couldn't make out the numbers going towards Main Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtransit Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3088 Posted December 27, 2013 I think 7822-7832 is back in service 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3089 Posted December 27, 2013 It seems the new sets are going to see service before the converted sets do. Any recent R62A transfers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodside7878 Posted December 27, 2013 Share #3090 Posted December 27, 2013 Wait is the R188 second set on 30 day test also? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted December 28, 2013 Share #3091 Posted December 28, 2013 I think the second set doesn't need the 30 day test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtransit Posted December 28, 2013 Share #3092 Posted December 28, 2013 Wait is the R188 second set on 30 day test also? 30 day test is only to test if newly Delivered cars from the contract line can operate good in passenger service, Or test to see if the new equipment can operate fine on a line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted December 28, 2013 Share #3093 Posted December 28, 2013 I'm sure it's not at all relevant the first set crapped out nearly directly after the original 30 day... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted December 28, 2013 Share #3094 Posted December 28, 2013 I'm sure it's not at all relevant the first set crapped out nearly directly after the original 30 day... Nope, not at all hehe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted December 28, 2013 Share #3095 Posted December 28, 2013 I am not one to be quick to jump to conclusions myself but many are saying that they spotted 7811-7821 earlier today which is the set that almost went FUBAR with the previously busted compressor problem, no? And 7822-7832 was out there until the 12-9 occurred ( and I wish her a safe recovery). That is until another stated this set is also back in service. So would expect two R188 sets to be out there at any given point. One officially in revenue service, meaning expect to see it past 8PM and possibly running throughout the night for all we know, and the other set going through the rounds of its 30 day revenue service test meaning it will be out there between 7AM to 8PM only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the new rolling stock passes the test, the other sets are brought in without requiring a 30-day acceptance test. The R188's passed the test so other sets are set to be brought in for regualr service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode the R188 twice myself yesterday (7811-7821). The train seemed to be having problems going Queens bound around 9:30 PM. At GCT and 46 St, right as the train was about to start moving it went BIE. The train started moving again right after, and the IC beep kept going off in the cabs between every other stop. I hear there are now 4 sets of R62A on the , even though I only have 35 cars listed. 1706-1710 is still on the , I saw it twice yesterday. I hear the 5th set includes 2016-2020, but they're converting 2016 to a full cab (2020 already has one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted December 28, 2013 Share #3100 Posted December 28, 2013 I might be stupid by asking, but what do all those abbreviations stand for that were posted here? (FUBAR, BIE, IC) If they are abbreviations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
