junjun441 Posted August 9, 2015 Share #5451 Posted August 9, 2015 Alot of the 7400s are at Kawasaki getting converted and Corona can't send anymore R62A's back to Westchester yard till more R188s go in service so The is lending R62A's to the , if your wondering why you may have seeing more broadway sets that is your reason why , and that is also why during the Pm rush hour Jerome lends an R142 or R142A to Westchester Yard for 2 rounds trips. Makes sense. Also saw an R142 running on the line last week. I am also seeing a set (or two) R62 trains running as the . A lot of accommodations for the conversion it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted August 9, 2015 Share #5453 Posted August 9, 2015 the R62s have been on the for well over a year. Same with some of the broadway R62A sets being on the for over a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted August 12, 2015 Share #5455 Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah the R62s have been on the for a while I'm not sure if they are right for the It's almost the same as the R62As. The only differences are that there were different builders and different signage for those cars, so I don't really see the problem. But that's me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted August 13, 2015 Share #5457 Posted August 13, 2015 I wonder if a Jerome set is going to be converted... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted August 13, 2015 Share #5458 Posted August 13, 2015 I wonder if a Jerome set is going to be converted... No there not for the time being. Anything under R142A 7591 has been or is to be converted to an R188. Jeromes sets start with 7656/7660 I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62AR33 Posted August 13, 2015 Share #5459 Posted August 13, 2015 I wonder if a Jerome set is going to be converted... Westchester Yard CARS ONLY are being converted 7211-7590 , that is why it's just a swap with the and only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priincenene Posted August 14, 2015 Share #5460 Posted August 14, 2015 Is there 2 sets testing? 2 R188 sets were on the express track signed up as LCL with no passengers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAlam Posted August 19, 2015 Share #5462 Posted August 19, 2015 Is corona yard not comfortable putting ad wraps on the R188s? I think the reason they are wrapping the 62a over the 188 are because 62a warps generate more money, because they do they inside as well, The NTT's have never done interior ad wrapping yet, but I like the fact they are ad wrapping the 62a trains, cause for some reason I always notice there are less ppl on 62a trains every time I ride. Now w/ the ad wrap train they get about the same amount of people compared to a 188 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T J Trainman Posted August 20, 2015 Share #5463 Posted August 20, 2015 Earlier this evening R-188s 7441-7445 were transfered from 239st yard to pitkin yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech And Transit Posted August 21, 2015 Share #5465 Posted August 21, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qT1DIGYDTY Saw 7860-7870 NIS yesterday at 5th Avenue. Just seen this on YouTube, anyone know why this set doesn't operate in service? This set has CBTC installed so I think it was probably either CBTC testing or they were seeing how the train handled with the CBTC components inside. Either way, this set has been OOS for what seems like forever. BTW, 7221-7900-7230 returned to service after months being OOS. I heard it had returned to Kawasaki to get CBTC installed but I also heard it was in Corona's shop for months. Not sure what to beleive though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted August 21, 2015 Share #5466 Posted August 21, 2015 Talking about trains that haven't been in service for a while, I haven't seen R142As 7491/95 & 7531/35 in service on the 6 for while. I remember seeing 7531/35 at the 207 yard this past winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted August 21, 2015 Share #5467 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Hasn't that set (7860-7870) not been in service for months? Like, the last time I remember that being in service was last year.. I did get a ride on that set when it was brand new, then I really never saw it again running in service. That set does have CBTC installed, and by the looks of it (the advertisements), I think this set is going to return to service after a long hiatus. It's going to be just like new - unlike all other R188 sets that have been running for well over a year now.

It would take a year or two for it to go ALL the way back to Yonkers and back to Corona. I saw a set with graffiti and I was not too happy when I saw it. Theres also a set with the 34th St sticker peeled off and a set with a glitched LCD sign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtransit Posted August 21, 2015 Share #5469 Posted August 21, 2015 7220 has been recoupled with its partner 7211. so now again its 7211-7220 and if that set is not in service for the longest, why does it have ads?

jon2305 Posted August 21, 2015 Share #5471 Posted August 21, 2015 The NTT's have never done interior ad wrapping yet An R142 train had a NBA All-Star Ad-wrap outside & inside back in Febraury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be just like new - unlike all other R188 sets that have been running for well over a year now. I sure hope it returns to service soon, it will be nice to see a shiny new factory set. 7220 has been recoupled with its partner 7211. so now again its 7211-7220 and if that set is not in service for the longest, why does it have ads? if you saw 7211-7220, most of its LCD signs were fixed and the trucks recieved some extensive cleaning. they were probably doing it on that set also I think 7211-7899-7220 have CBTC and 7221-7900-7230 now have CBTC after being gone for so long. I think they might be starting to give sets CBTC. And for this NTT wrapping discussion, NTT interiors have been wrapped before. The R142 already mentioned and also the R143 YouTube ad wraps both were wrapped on the exterior and interior. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted August 25, 2015 Share #5475 Posted August 25, 2015 Just seen R142a 7481-7485 heading southbound on the pelham line. Im assuming its on its way to 239 st yard. We're down to the last few 74xx units and about nine more 75xx for conversion work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
