I always see an R62A on the Flushing and I see more R62A's running Express than Local on rush hour . I get an R188/142A whenever I go Local. :/ but whoever said theres less R62A's on weekends thats indeed true.

Tech And Transit Posted October 30, 2015 Share #5754 Posted October 30, 2015 7461-7924-7470 caught me completely by surprise today at 5th Avenue in service. The gap between 7923 and 7924 was tremendously short considering the time 7919, 7920, 7921 and 7922 took to enter service. Although I haven't seen 7923 in service yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 30, 2015 Share #5755 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) It seems they are waiting to transfer the single R62A cars to the last. When they do, I'm sure they will convert a few more cabs to full length and keep them on the end of 5-car consists. Of course they are going to convert them it would make no sense to send them to the and not convert them into full width cabs they should be easier to operate that waythere are other 1900s below 1961 used on the shuttle. Ideally they could trade some cars coming back from the 7 with the shuttle, but the S needs full width cab ends and they may probably have to leave a few trains of non consecutive units to run on the 6. That is until/if they ever rebuild the times sq end of the shuttle so it can run a 5-car train and no longer need 3-4 car trains. Some said the cars on the S are linked and i dunno if it would be a simple matter of unlinking them. I think there are the 1920s numbered cars still wit the red stickers that could be put together as two consecutive 5 car sets. They ran on the 1 few years ago, but were out of sequence. I would've figured they might've linked them since they had the lower 5 cars together. There is nothing stated all trains going to the 6 must be full width cabs, but i do understand there might be a preference from the crews to have full width cabs.

The is borrowing R62A's from the There's still a little over a dozen of them on the so for any railfans out there that like the R62A on the Flushing line cherish these moments while you still can especially with the Railfan windows. As for the line, the R62As are practically dominating that line from top to bottom, theres over 25 62As on the already including the loaners from the . Don't have a clue when those loaners are going back to the but in any event, it truly feels like 1990s era on the which several years ago I never thought to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MTA is trying to use those remaining R142A's as least as possible because they don't have very good MDBF and the fleet expect for the new cars are the same thing. So I'm hoping now that Westchester yard has less of them and Corona had the majority we can see in increase in reliabity with these cars. IMO the R142A need a good interior cleaning because they look and smell disgusting. Edited November 2, 2015 by NewFlyer 230 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
