Priincenene Posted March 28, 2014 Share #3601 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Number? I remember last month that 7832 had some sharpie on its MTA Logo, but now its cleaned off. EDIT: And also I remember a few days before the 30- day acceptance test ended that 7818 had scratchiti on the doors.. 7811 set. It was an interior door. It looked brownish maybe they took it off but it was the first car. Ugh, vandalism! I also saw a homeless man with bags too. Breaks my heart lol Edited March 28, 2014 by queenspapi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted March 28, 2014 Share #3602 Posted March 28, 2014 We need cameras on the trains... Smh "this is why we can't have nice things". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted March 28, 2014 Share #3603 Posted March 28, 2014 We need cameras on the trains... Smh "this is why we can't have nice things". Atleast they're making an effort to keep them "new".. The R62A's have a ton of vandalism that don't get cleaned. The R188 atleast they would clean them off. BTW, back in February I was riding the 7822 set, and saw that 7829 was filled with like table tops and crap that can't be described.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted March 28, 2014 Share #3604 Posted March 28, 2014 Well once most of the r188s are delivered, they arent going to make such a rapid effort to clean them up. And on the cameras thing, if the buses are getting them, it stands to reason, they should do the same for the trains. Track down the vandals and make the scum pay for the damages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the R62A's, oh god, they're a mess! So much scratchiti all over the walls, doors, windows, seats, even rollsigns! By the way, will they change the purple Corona Yard sticker to the green Westchester Sticker? Edited March 29, 2014 by queenspapi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how the R62 on the have orange stickers which stand for the . (Livonia yard, which serves the , is blue). Also 1917-1926 still have red stickers from the and have been Corona's for quite a while. 2056-2060 and 2151-2155 have full cabs on both ends of each set. Don't be surprised if you see these on the next. It seems half the R62A consists on the have both former single sets on both ends now.

R188 7857 Posted March 29, 2014 Share #3611 Posted March 29, 2014 It's true @4P3607, everytime I go to flushing I see an R188 heading in the tunnel. When I go ride it though, either I have to wait or just ride an R62A. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYtransit Posted March 29, 2014 Share #3617 Posted March 29, 2014 Lights? No. Trucks (already done). That was the first job to take place before the cars were shipped off to Kawasaki for conversion. So its not having problems, just having extra components being installed onto it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted March 29, 2014 Share #3618 Posted March 29, 2014 As much as i think it'd be nice to have the yellow yard stickers for the 6 again, i don't see them changing it. I mean look at the r62s. They were left orange which was for the 4, but the 3 had blue stripes. I would figure they are going to just leave the ones that goes to the 6 purple and change the cars that goes to the 1 to red. It isn't like the r62a's are going to be split, so there's no need to change the colors back.. Imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only rode it from Hunterspoint Ave to 74 Street/Broadway. I could have sworn I've seen it a few more times from my window. It looks pretty obvious at night when you see a dim-lit set with one bright car going by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T to Dyre Avenue Posted March 30, 2014 Share #3625 Posted March 30, 2014 Green is 239th Black is E180th Corona had two yard stickers Black with a purple diamond was Westinghouse equipment Yellow with a purple diamond was GE equipment After the was 100% R62A's they made the yard sticker completely purple The R33s that ran on the never had their yard stickers changed from black to green when they moved from the to the and the R26/28/29 "salad trains" that moved over to East 180th Yard retained their green stickers until the end of their service lives. As much as i think it'd be nice to have the yellow yard stickers for the 6 again, i don't see them changing it. I mean look at the r62s. They were left orange which was for the 4, but the 3 had blue stripes. I would figure they are going to just leave the ones that goes to the 6 purple and change the cars that goes to the 1 to red. It isn't like the r62a's are going to be split, so there's no need to change the colors back.. Imo. Why even go through all the trouble changing the yard stickers? They never did it when the R62s moved over from the to the and the R142s/142As never got them at all. I think it's time to just phase them out completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
