R62AR33 Posted October 18, 2014 Share #4659 Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I agree with you 100% even though I am not a train rider. I loved the whole idea with the and having NTT's and now they are being taken away. Well back in 2002 the R142A's you now see on the were originally supposed to be assigned to Flushing but they had problems in the steinway tubes and corona yard at the time was not equipped to maintain them , with those two factors is why the R62A's from the and went to Flushing.... had Corona been able to maintain them and had they passed done well in the steainway tubes the would of gave its R62A's up to Westchester to retire the Redbirds there and the would have been completely R62A's.At least now you will have some R142A's left over on the . Also The and were supposed to be half R62 and Half R142s but thanks to bloomberg he wanted the to be fully R142s that is why you see the R62s formely on the on the and why the is R142s with a small fleet of R142A's..... Im not so sure why it would be a surprise now to see an R62A on the if it did happen...in the mid 1990s and even in 2001 they appeared on the from time to time .

Fresh Pond Posted October 18, 2014 Share #4660 Posted October 18, 2014 The 62As were on the for OPTO services and occasionally full service if needed. They werent assigned to the to begin with, they were borrowed cars. Once the 142s came in, they weren't needed anymore. For the last time, there's still gonna be SOME R142As leftover on the once the dust settles since all of them aren't needed for the R188 order... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech And Transit Posted October 24, 2014 Share #4665 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Caught 7280/7905 in service today. Not sure if that was said already. I guess everyone already knew basing on the fact 7281 is in service too. Also saw 7291-7907-7300 testing at Times Square today.

MTA Dude Posted October 26, 2014 Share #4666 Posted October 26, 2014 Just wondering, at around 10:00 to 11:00 yesterday, was the at least 90% R188? Couldn't find a single R62A on my ride to Jackson Heights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find a single R62A on my ride to Jackson Heights. Usually when the has no service in Manhattan, the line uses all R188s since there is no rollsign available for the R62As saying it will end at Queensboro Plaza and 74 Street - Broadway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted October 28, 2014 Share #4670 Posted October 28, 2014 7906 and 7907, along with their conversion sets are in service. I rode 7906 last Thursday on the , and saw 7907 today. Interesting to note that the set with 7907 was not in regular formation; The new C-car (7907) was towards the middle and 7296 was the North motor. I didn't get to see what was connected to that set as I only saw it on the Corona Yard lead. Pictures: Today: (Sorry, taken with phone. I forgot my SD Card at home). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech And Transit Posted October 29, 2014 Share #4675 Posted October 29, 2014 just curious on why you don't allow them. Just because I want people to watch the videos on youtube and not on some video player that hosts videos with tons of ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
