R62AR33 Posted September 12, 2015 Share #5553 Posted September 12, 2015 I wonder what fleet will run as the "inaugural train" in and out of 34th St Hudson Yards, the 62A or 188. Technically R62A's were the First since that's what Bloomberg used before he went out of office when he went to Hudson Yards lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why 34th Street wasn't made into an express station that way you can have more train storage and a similar set up like Main Street. However I think I do see the problem with having an express terminal with only two tracks once outside of the station towards 42nd street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather see an 10th Ave Station and a possible extension south in Chelsea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted September 12, 2015 Share #5557 Posted September 12, 2015 Extending the to new jersey is money that could be use to building the 10th ave station or rehashing the ARC Project. IMO moving the further to jersey is funding for more CBTC components & infrastructure etc... I quiet frankly dont ever see it happening in my lifetime and think theres other resources that would make more sense to fund like second ave subway or better yet maintaining the current subways infrastructure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted September 12, 2015 Share #5558 Posted September 12, 2015 just to sum it all up: 7211-7440, 7899-7921 with 7811-7898: total is 31 trains. Also, the is doing testing today on track 1 for preparation of the extension 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want the to go NJ it should be NJ paying for it not NY they get the benefit not us. Also the to NJ is an alternative to the gateway tunnel. They need to desperately make repairs to the current tunnels from NY to NJ so it's not impossible, but unlikely. I saw. Whens the last train to Times Square tomorrow? Go to Main st around 12:15, when they announce the first train to 34th ST get on the train that leaves before that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be gone from the eventually, I have a feeling as we'll approach the end of the year into 2016 the swap between the R142A/R62A will pic up pace and you'll see even more R62As at Westchester and vice versa.

r142a7436 Posted September 17, 2015 Share #5573 Posted September 17, 2015 As a daily rider, I personally don't like this swap. I don't think a line thats had NTTs for so long should almost be returned completely back to OTT. Don't get me wrong, it is nice having R62As on the , but not as many as we have and will continue to recieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make service and you have a train every 3-6 minutes , I personally get to work faster for some reason on an R62A .I like the swap and equipment wise Westchester Yard is getting the better end of the deal with the R62As returning back , they barely breakdown and are more reliable service wise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it is nice having R62As on the , but not as many as we have and will continue to recieve.Of course you would have a problem with R62A's on the . You have R142A in your name so you favor them more. Honestly in my opinion idc what the uses as long as it gets me to where I need to go and that is to school and back. I know how it feels when you are stuff using something old and the others have newer stuff. I catch a R142A on the every now and then like yesterday. I also took the and I feel like Corona is fixing those R142A's up pretty nicely. They run better in my opinion but they can sure use a interior washing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
