jon2305 Posted October 7, 2015 Share #5676 Posted October 7, 2015 Yea but the R179 issue is a different scenario than anything of the A division. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the R62/As go a long time as well, to me it seems everything coming in new like the NTTs all look the same and boring. I grew up riding the R62As so there one of if not my favorite subway fleets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted October 8, 2015 Share #5679 Posted October 8, 2015 does anyone actually know how these strip maps works? If you take if off the dots are right next to each other with almost no space in between the strip map just cover up the additional dots. If I'm correct there are 2 dots in between dot in use on the and 3 dots in between the dots in use on the Remove the stripmaps, and its a strip of 64 lights built into the panel. Whatever train you sign it up as, a program knows which ones to illuminate when you throw a stripmap over it. One best way to see it is when they use a set running as a train (or vice versa), and they don't turn off the stripmaps. You'll see lights that make it seem lime you're stopping in a tunnel, or making and express stop at illogical location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted October 8, 2015 Share #5680 Posted October 8, 2015 R-62As 2096-2110 from the 7 to the 6. 15 cars. Interesting, 2106 must have just been converted as that was a half-cab this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted October 8, 2015 Share #5682 Posted October 8, 2015 You see, on a R143, if you take your phones flashlight and shine it above where it says "14 St Local" or "Carnarsie Local", you can see the little cut out in the map that says "ROUTE CHANGE". If you do this on a R188 however, you can't see the cutout that says "ROUTE CHANGE" so they ethier made the strip map without the "ROUTE CHANGE" cutout or they took out that light completely on the R188's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62AR33 Posted October 9, 2015 Share #5691 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) The way that their going with the conversions I wouldn't be surprised if the swap with the and is fully completed by December or January considering the fact that conversion wise there's no more 7400s on the .

Tech And Transit Posted October 9, 2015 Share #5692 Posted October 9, 2015 Actually, the conversion process has slowed down quite a bit. It seems like they're putting sets into service about every month. 7921 went into service on September 9th and now 7922 went into service yesterday on October 8th. I think the last conversion should enter service around May/June of 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted October 10, 2015 Share #5694 Posted October 10, 2015 A little of topic here, but if my calculations are correct there's about 14 or 15 R62As left assigned to Corona. I'm wondering if or if anybody has an idea about some of the 19xx singles eventually being linked to 5 car sets. For example, R62A #1921 which was formally from 240th St yard has the red sticker on the roof which indicates what side gets converted to full width, will that set be re-linked in the future? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1906-1910 could wind up on the Shuttle since theres no 1909 to make up for 5-car linking. Edited October 10, 2015 by jon2305 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priincenene Posted October 10, 2015 Share #5697 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) The light bank is probably still there, at least on the converts, even though there isn't a cut out on the cardboard line maps. They still on the converts, of course but the factory built sets probably don't have it. I know this for a fact because I know how to peek at the strip maps the factory sets DO NOT have them, the converts I couldn't see anything probably the MTA covered it. Its possible for an R188 to go on another line. Now my question is, does the computer run the same programs as the R142/A's or do they use the R160 type of programs for announcements, as you can hear Catherine saying "THE NEXT STOP IS" "THIS IS" like on the or , which are R160 programs.

You mean 14-15 sets not cars. And its 16 now because apparently a Westchester set that originally came from 240th Street made its way to the a couple weeks ago due to a shortage apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup we had a shortage of trains on the line now a set from westchester went to Corona does anybody happen to know the set numbers for the train? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trains have the same programs as the mainline IRT cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
