Daniel The Cool Posted March 21, 2015 Share #5079 Posted March 21, 2015 I mean in passenger service... Back in 2003 they had one go via Astoria in Service as an emergency reroute. I remember they had some news about it and the old Subtalk Mentioned it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted March 21, 2015 Share #5081 Posted March 21, 2015 Let me get this straight, your telling me that a went to Astoria because of an emergency reroute?

And the only issue with IRT cars running on B division lines is the platform gaps. Otherwise they really can run on B division lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stop arm is on the opposite sides of the tracks as well as the trip cocks being on the opposite sides of the trucks Let me get this straight, your telling me that a went to Astoria because of an emergency reroute? That's just confusing, how the hell does a 11-Car R62A fit on those Broadway stations?? 11 cars of R62As is still shorter (561') than a 10 car B division train (600') Edited March 21, 2015 by Fresh Pond 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted March 25, 2015 Share #5086 Posted March 25, 2015 Seems there are more R188's now then R62A's. I wonder, does anybody know when the last R62A in service will be used on the last run? Like when the RedBird did it's final run to Times Square? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the needs 30-32 train sets to run the rush hour schedules. Compare that to how many R188 sets have been accepted into revenue and you have your answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted March 25, 2015 Share #5089 Posted March 25, 2015 All of the R188s I saw had the update in the program to say Main St instead of Flushing and to say 82-Jackson Heights on the inside. On the outside the LEDs were pretty glitchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when the RedBird did it's final run to Times Square? Is it just me, or did this complicated story strike once again to me? Stage One: News of new cars come in. Stage Two: About 10% of the line is filled with new cars. Stage Three: I try to ride one. 30% Stage Four: I finally ride one. 40% Stage Five: I ride a new car almost every time. 70% Stage Six: All old cars are gone. I miss them. Yup. Happened with the Orion V and the C40LF and is happening right now with R188s. Might happen with R62A on the . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted March 31, 2015 Share #5095 Posted March 31, 2015 I meant why did the R188 sets change the destination signs to "Times Sq" & "MAIN ST" ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted April 3, 2015 Share #5098 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I forgot to post this R-188s 7371-7375 went to pitkin yard last week, Tuesday night R-188s 7376-7379-7915-7380 were transfered from 239st to pitkin yard.

Yeah, apparently Transit has gotten very abbreviation-happy with the signs. There's being concise and there's removing all meaning to the signs. There's a reason why those mosaic LCDs are capable of displaying 20 characters. Sign readings like MAIN ST WILLETS PT TIMES SQ HUNTERS PT should not be accepted when it's quite possible to display the full names as they appear on the map. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the MTA do whatever they want, they wont listen. The TIMES SQ doesn't matter because soon the 34th St station will open, but lets hope it doesn't sign up as "HUDSON YDS" :/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
