LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted September 18, 2015 Share #5577 Posted September 18, 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. There'll still be a decent amount of R142As left after the swap, remember that the conversions will stop at 7590. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted September 18, 2015 Share #5578 Posted September 18, 2015 But those R62A's after being on the so long now back on the busy Lex line might not be good in the long run, those cars have been on busy lines for so long, perhaps swap them with the R62s from the since those cars do rest and aren't as used up. But I don't mind the R62A's on the just concerned with its longevity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't mind the R62A's on the just concerned with its longevity. It's just a matter of maintaining them well enough to keep up with service of the line. It'd be silly to think that Westchester is not gonna maintain them right out of spite for losing a majority of R142As conversions to the . I've noticed on the especially on the weekends they don't use the R62As as much like on the weekdays, maybe Westchester can take that time to check out R62As durabilty or components. This weekend though the R62As on the will take a well deserved brake from service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r142a7436 Posted September 19, 2015 Share #5580 Posted September 19, 2015 I'm not saying i don't like the R62A , not at all. They do fit but i feel that the 142As fit the more than they fit the . and the did get some good 62As that corona put a lot of work into fixing up. And i do have to agree that Westchester didn't take much time with the 142As when it comes to maintenance, but i dont see Corona doing a lot for some of the conversions that they're recieving. Ride R42A conversion 7429 and youll see what I'm talking about. and even most of the new factory sets look like shit. but I'd rather have had the 142As from the converted because, 1, they roster would be actually sequential if they ended at 7810, and 2, a lot of people out there want R62As back on the . And the(4) took much more care of their 142As better then Westchester did. I have no clue why I'm ranting but whatever. Everyone has their own opinion and this is how I feel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have the R62As run on the since it is an express route and less stopping at stations after stations like the local and maybe less stress on the brakes, but one can only dream. I agree that the conversion order should have been sequential with the R142As from the since it has 7810 and down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted September 19, 2015 Share #5590 Posted September 19, 2015 Should of moved some of Westchester (Coronas) R62A's to Livonia too. If mores coming in and Westchester can't handle it, send more 62A's to E. 180th or Livonia and put some R62A's on the rest of Lexington. Easier than giving it to another yard in the other side of the city and will less likely be in service unless put in service on the line the yard associated with (which is the for Livonia ) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted September 19, 2015 Share #5591 Posted September 19, 2015 This thread should be renamed to R188/R62A Swap Discussion. The fact is those R62As from corona need to go somewhere, the is a chioce but is there more room for more R62As. The is another choice but thats the TAs call and the is occupied with the R62s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK Depot Posted September 21, 2015 Share #5599 Posted September 21, 2015 IMO there should be a swap between Mosholu and Westchester for 142a's and 62a's Since Mosholu is all NTT swapping out those 142a's for 62a's wouldn't be a bad idea and that brings more 142a's back to the 6 I'm sure those UES riders are not too happy with 62a's returning to the 6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted September 21, 2015 Share #5600 Posted September 21, 2015 One of the main points of assigning classes to shops is to MINIMIZE mixing of cartypes between shops. It makes little sense to make Mosholu even more of a mixed shop than it is today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
