4P3607 Posted February 4, 2014 Share #3351 Posted February 4, 2014 7211-7220 seems to be Out of Service again. I heard it was in service for around 3 days or so, and then went OOS again due to more problems. Makes me wonder if any R62A have been transferred to the lately or 1891-1895 & 2206-2210 are back on the . I haven't seen those two borrowed sets on the lately. Then again, I haven't been on the much as of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted February 4, 2014 Share #3353 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Why Not Send those 2000s , from the to the that way all the 's R62As can be from 2001-2475 and have all the 1800s and 1900 from the go to the , so that Westchester would then have to maintain R62As 1651-2000 My theory is that might happen, also having the singles go to the may also happen just to have em for both work and revenue service, remember the already owns some singles (ex shuttle cars) even though they're loaned to the , these single units will just be like the R32's that do both revenue service and refuse pick ups to replace those R33WF cars Edited February 4, 2014 by R32 3838 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted February 4, 2014 Share #3354 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Have you noticed how dirty 7811-7821 now have become? The weather (snow) has partly to do with it, but the cars definitely look used. I haven't noticed the shoe marks under the windows on the doors yet and it will come in time, once the cars are in service for a while. Passengers who usually stand for the duration of their trip, very often lean against the closed doors and place there shoe sole on one door. Very noticable on the R142/143/160's. It's ashame that many people can't respect property or space that isn't their own. They simply don't care... most don't want to really be on the subway. You should have seen 7822, there were footprints all over the front board where the number is and the wheelchair spot. The CBTC cabinet also had it, same with the doors. And on the ceiling where the air comes in, there is already that black triangle dirty crap on it, just like the R142A's have. Otherwise, it's good as new. Not to go off topic, but I rode R143 for the first time and that car was crap. Worst than the R142A's, which I just rode before and that one had no bucking surprisingly. The screechy breaks on the R142A's are going to freak me out when they transfer to the . Edited February 4, 2014 by R188 7857 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted February 5, 2014 Share #3359 Posted February 5, 2014 Yesterday was a heck of a day First I saw a glimpse of a set of R188s at 74 St Then I saw set 7833-7843 in a station Then I saw set 7822-7832 on the Corona Yard lead Then I saw set 7811-7822 at Main St, probably the set I first had a glimpse of. Off topic But I was on an M3 yesterday and took an RFW vid to Great Neck Then I saw something weird Some singles were coupled together in the train I was on, I only saw 6 of the 11 cars 1948+1934+1916+1906+ 1913+1905... Maybe these were the singles from the 11 car trains sent to the Using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 Flushing Line Posted February 6, 2014 Share #3363 Posted February 6, 2014 Could have sworn it was 10, Oh well at least we get 8 brand new R188 sets Hmm... according to Wikipedia...the 2010-2014 capital plan originally called for 146 new cars to be purchased, and of these new cars, 110 cars would go to make up ten new 11-car trains (with the remaining 36 cars as "C" cars). But in the latest revision, only 103 new cars will be purchased to form eight new 11-car trains. Kind of unfortunate in my opinion, but definitely better than a fleet comprised 100% of converted R142As... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 trains I rode were only separated by 1 R-62A train. 7822-7832 was going the other way and passed both of the others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
