jon2305 Posted May 22, 2016 Share #6379 Posted May 22, 2016 There were at least 2 or 3 R62As out today, I suppose to make up for Mets games service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted May 23, 2016 Share #6380 Posted May 23, 2016 There were at least 2 or 3 R62As out today, I suppose to make up for Mets games service. So presumably one set of all singles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech And Transit Posted May 23, 2016 Share #6381 Posted May 23, 2016 So presumably one set of all singles? I'd think the two sets would have at least one 5 car set in it. At the very least, out of 2071-80, 2081-85 and 2091-95, two of the four 5 car sets should still be here. I doubt they'd run a train of all singles but I wasn't on the this weekend so I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted May 23, 2016 Share #6382 Posted May 23, 2016 The 1900s singles were positioned in as usual while 2076-80 2081-85 2091-95 were positioned facing the Manhattan bound side. Also, if it hasn't been mentioned yet 7561-7570 7934 is stationed in Corona Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted June 1, 2016 Share #6383 Posted June 1, 2016 I was just at the Flushing Main Street station and I was talking to a transit employee about the R62As. He said that there were only three sets (5 Car Set + 6 Singles) left on the 7. I saw all of them multiple times today. I was lucky to catch a RFW toward Flushing. #1960. I asked him if the R62As would be transferred, and he said no. He said that they would stay in the yard and would sometimes be put into service, even with CBTC. He said that fixed block signaling would still be in place, meaning that the R62As could still show up. Wouldn't this go against CBTC? The R62As wouldn't be tracked and the trains couldn't be spaced. This brings up the following question. How will it work for work equipment and reroutings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted June 1, 2016 Share #6384 Posted June 1, 2016 You correctly identify why such cannot happen. Some waysides will remain but not all. Any R62As on the 7 would greatly reduce capacity once CBTC goes active. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any R62As on the 7 would greatly reduce capacity once CBTC goes active. That is what he told me. I was surprised when he said it. I didn't have time to ask him anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6386 Posted June 2, 2016 That's...confusing...could he possibly mean a R62A will remain in case CBTC goes haywire or malfunctions or if something happens on the ...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6387 Posted June 2, 2016 That sounds so ridiculous, Union, that I'd chalk it up to employee gossip because there is no way anyone with half a brain would really suggest it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6389 Posted June 2, 2016 CBTC works in conjunction with the wayside signals. If the train picks up a red signal, it will still act appropriately. While counterproductive, it'll still work. Like Art said, it will impact service as the train can't communicate with the others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6390 Posted June 2, 2016 Speaking of CBTC, how exactly will it work on the during the 2019 shutdown? Because whenever I'm on the on weekdays, the TPH is up with 2-3 trains every 2 to 3 minutes. But, when I'm on the during the weekend, it seems like it's deactivated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6391 Posted June 2, 2016 CBTC is active on the L, all hours of the day. It has nothing to do with how many trains run per hour outside of the fact that you cannot operate above a small number without CBTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted June 2, 2016 Share #6393 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) 1911-1915 is back on the , saw it yesterday coupled with 1976-1980. It may seem that 240th St yard probably didnt want to deal with mantaining the LED lights, plus 2306-2310 & 2241-2245 went back to the were they belong. On a side note, this whole rumor about the keeping several R62As sounds flawed. The whole point of the R188 project was to not only work in conjunction with Flushing line CBTC automation but also displace all of the R62As there. The goal having the be an all-NTT equiped subway line in turn releasing the R62As for service on the IRT mainlines or work service (whatever they decide to do).
