VIP Posted January 10, 2016 Share #6051 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) You do notice that Weschtester Yard have enough R62A's for the by itself right ? ,So if a swap ever happened between the and there would be no NTT's on the . Why? I was thinking it'll be more logical to keep all the R142A's confined to 1 yard. in place of Displaced Jerome's R142A's will be R62A's. It's bad enough the has a bad reputation and bad maintainence history so dumping older cars BACK on the is adding insult to injury. At least with more NTTs on the it wont look so bad... Hell, even riders are starting to realize that they're getting "6 train cars" as their upgrade. Edited January 10, 2016 by VIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying for future reference if a swap happened there would be no NTT on the since westchester have enough R62As for service.

jon2305 Posted January 16, 2016 Share #6057 Posted January 16, 2016 Both are at Corona, I saw 7491 in the yard and I was told by a friend that 7501 was testing. 7501-05/7506-10 7928 is indeed testing. I assume 7491 with 7927 has already been testing on the Flushing line or hasn't and maybe has some minor issues but again I could be wrong and just assuming things. Haven't been on the for more than two months and to be honest I for certain reasons try to avoid the during the winter months lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r142a7436 Posted January 16, 2016 Share #6058 Posted January 16, 2016 It seems that 7927 is avoiding service. Like 2 days before I saw 7928 testing 7927 was still in its testing porition. It's been M.I.A from Corona yard everytime I've visited ever since. Wonder whats going on with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3238 RFW Posted January 17, 2016 Share #6060 Posted January 17, 2016 Should I make a R62a or R142a thread? Damn 75% discussions on here are conversations about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted January 17, 2016 Share #6062 Posted January 17, 2016 Even though the thread was created to analyze the R188 car order and conversion of the R142As, it generally also involves the R62As because of the swaps between the & . Now if a R142A that is NOT scheduled for conversion work (for ex: 7592 with missed up strip maps) is mentioned than that could be discussed elsewhere but it really doesn't matter. Those R142As on the look beat up anytime I see them so the whole strip map fiasco doesn't surprise me and the brake sounds are horrendous on some of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62AR33 Posted January 17, 2016 Share #6063 Posted January 17, 2016 Are they finally gonna send em back to the and be smart to send 1861-1865 wich originally came from Westchester ?

The strip maps are getting removed from the cars 2221-2225 R62A fleet is a scrambled mess already. (65) 1800's on the while (35) are on the , 1926 is on the while 1927-1930 is on the 42nd St Shuttle. 1934 on the while 1931-1935 on the . Point is that once the R62As are off the completely, they could rearrange and reorganize the fleet in numerical order which would require converting some of the singles to full width (not all cause some are used as refuge trains during the summer.)

Calvin Posted January 18, 2016 Share #6065 Posted January 18, 2016 Some singles can easily be converted to 5-car sets. For example, 1901-05, but yes, some singles will be leftover at that time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, 1901-05, but yes, some singles will be leftover at that time then they would probably be used for work service replacing the old redbirds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted January 18, 2016 Share #6067 Posted January 18, 2016 Theoretically speaking, they call can be converted into 5 car sets, save for one set. 1906-10 will be short a car since 1909 was scrapped years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted January 18, 2016 Share #6072 Posted January 18, 2016 That vision alone is what awaits the rest of the R62/As in about a decade or so from now lol. Maybe a little longer, time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted January 18, 2016 Share #6073 Posted January 18, 2016 no 1909 was and it was involved in a derailment at hunters pointI think you mean Hunts Point because the R62A's were not on the at the time the train derailed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 18, 2016 Share #6074 Posted January 18, 2016 Derailment or collision? There's a difference between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted January 18, 2016 Share #6075 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) From what I've heard in the past, it derailed on the M track near Hunts Point and the steel body of 1909 as shown above collided with a wall. There's fairly intense curves at either end of that station so maybe the train came in fast on those curves. Here's another pic from nycsubway.org. Credit Glenn L.
