NYtransit Posted March 24, 2014 Share #3578 Posted March 24, 2014 So there's still missing 7855/7859 I got it wrong the other day.. 7811, 7822, 7833, 7844 and 7860/7870 were all in service today, Although i did see another R188 set stored at the corona yard. It could possible be that one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted March 24, 2014 Share #3579 Posted March 24, 2014 The other set is probably 7855-7859 with 7871-7876. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTOPRO Posted March 25, 2014 Share #3582 Posted March 25, 2014 7899 is the one causing all the trouble. Actually no. The entire train has been receiving it's CBTC installation. It's the first conversion and it wasn't done at Kawasaki. All of the wiring and components are being installed in the barn at the yard and the CBTC contractor is onsite doing all of the necessary work as well as spot testing to make sure the wiring and components are properly installed and operational. This is basically Apollo 13. They are in uncharted territory so as the installation is taking place the procedure is being written. Once complete all of the following conversions should move with a better pace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodside7878 Posted March 26, 2014 Share #3583 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) So basically, the CBTC contractor is installing the wiring and components at the Corona Yard or the 207th Street Yard Also, I don't know anything about telecommunications but wiring installations I can cope with that; I suggest that the cars 7211-7220's wiring has to be reoganized for the CBTC and its a long process and might not see service until for 2-3 months.

Do you think any other work will be done to them besides CBTC work, such as replacing the lights, upgrading the lights, or replacing the trucks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights? No. Trucks (already done). That was the first job to take place before the cars were shipped off to Kawasaki for conversion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
