realizm Posted June 26, 2014 Share #4026 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) That converted set is FILTHY! Lol What set is at CIY? I saw it like last week 7877-87. Apparently because of compressor issues. Edited June 26, 2014 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R188 7857 Posted June 26, 2014 Share #4028 Posted June 26, 2014 7888-7898 has been in service since Saturday... (with no ads, just subway map) so it isn't really a big deal anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Dude Posted June 28, 2014 Share #4041 Posted June 28, 2014 I saw 6 R188s in a row!!! XD! Does anybody wish that the didn't bunch up R188s in service? I saw one R188 on my R62A train, then an R62A, then 3 R188s in a row, then an R62A, then another R188, and there was an R188 at Flushing-Main Street on the middle track. Btw what is the chance really that two trains come into Flushing-Main Street at the same time? Cause that was what happened to me today. And there was an R188 in on the center track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dispatchers don't care how many R188s are in a row. All they care about is providing service. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted June 30, 2014 Share #4047 Posted June 30, 2014 The reason why they run the R188's like they did because most of the crews weren't qualified, the new pick just started so this shouldn't be an issue no more, im surprised they don't run them overnight yet (normal service) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use whatever they have available. I understand that, I was just stating an observation. They do run overnight now. Graffiti (not even) explains it all Thats true. You see 7833-7843? That set has been pounded with vandalism. Observations on that set: -(cleaned) a tag on 7839 exterior -still there- dry, brown, rectangular sticker marks that are found a lot on trains. it is on the side of the doors of one car, and on the logo of another. -sharpie tag on top of MTA logo on 7834. And very recently, 7856 has suffered vandalism (of course one car away from 7857...) it got tagged on the NYC subway logo with a sticker, its still white....... That set (7855-7859) has also accumulated some steel dust on it. I remember 7832 having some vandalism on it... it's long gone though. This is so darn similar to the targeting of the R62A's when they were new... they're targeting R188's. Within the 30-day test of 7811-7821, nearing the end, I recall seeing 7818 with scratchiti. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted June 30, 2014 Share #4050 Posted June 30, 2014 They do run overnight now. Graffiti (not even) explains it allCouple years back I seen a 62A 7 train vandalized in broad daylight, so just because you seen a 188 with graffiti on it doesn't mean there running overnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
