Tech And Transit Posted June 7, 2016 Share #6409 Posted June 7, 2016 7471-7925-7480 seems to have been pulled out of service for CBTC testing now too. 7 trains were running express to Manhattan and 7480 was wrong railing on the Manhattan bound track and stopped at 111th street. The CBTC cabinet was open. 7860-7870 was in the yard. I wonder how long 7480 will remain OOS if they also have 7860-70 pulled out too. Or maybe 7860-70 will go into service, but I heard that set will go into service in 2017 so who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What portion of Flushing is left to convert to CBTC standards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted June 7, 2016 Share #6411 Posted June 7, 2016 CBTC converted sets can be run without CBTC. There is no reason to hold a set out of service if it is roadworthy and not being used for testing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 Flushing Line Posted June 7, 2016 Share #6412 Posted June 7, 2016 Just passed by Corona depot on the LIRR. There was an R188 set at the back (didn't catch the numbers) that looked like it had a red diamond around the at the side destination sign, similar to the LEDs on the R62A. Can anyone confirm this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an R188 set at the back (didn't catch the numbers) that looked like it had a red diamond around the at the side destination sign, similar to the LEDs on the R62A. Can anyone confirm this? Corona depot on the LIRR is not a thing... if you meant Corona yard, that makes more sense, and as for LED's sides of the R188 destination signs, that would be completely redundant because they already display Flushing express. CBTC converted sets can be run without CBTC. There is no reason to hold a set out of service if it is roadworthy and not being used for testing. I'm not sure what they were doing with it. But seeing as how they were doing the same tests that they would normally do with 7860-70, I don't see a reason why they wouldn't just use 7860-70 unless they are planning to pull this particular set out of service as well, maybe just so they can have a converted set test too. Maybe it will be in service sooner than 7860-70 but 7471-7925-7480 was OOS today as well. Edited June 7, 2016 by Tech And Transit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted June 9, 2016 Share #6414 Posted June 9, 2016 So according to SubChat they're down to one set of R62As on the . 2091-2095 and 6 singles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted June 9, 2016 Share #6417 Posted June 9, 2016 It's 3 and a half sets. Also, 7581-7585 are on their way to Pitkin yard right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I guess 7561-7934-7570 must be entering service today? And also if 7581-85 is already on the way to Pitkin, 7571-7935-7580 must already be at Corona. Unless there is some kind of delay.

jon2305 Posted June 9, 2016 Share #6419 Posted June 9, 2016 R62A 2066 no longer has the RFW, Im guessing that set will be headed to westchester soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech And Transit Posted June 10, 2016 Share #6422 Posted June 10, 2016 2066-2070, 2076-2085 and 2091-2095 are all on the as far as I know along with the singles. As for R188's, 7561-7934-7570 wasn't in service today and hasn't been in service to my knowledge. 7571-7935-7580 was not at Corona so maybe the set that's at Pitkin is 7571-7575? Also R188 7480 had a red flag in Corona today so they definitely are planning on keeping that set OOS, at least for now. I got what will probably be my last train RFW on 2081 today, at least Manhattan bound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted June 10, 2016 Share #6424 Posted June 10, 2016 7811-7821 is another CBTC testing set which also sees occasional service 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech And Transit Posted June 10, 2016 Share #6425 Posted June 10, 2016 7811-21 is usually in service. There is a video of it testing for CBTC and it is one of the sets with the orange sticker (in fact, the only factory set with the orange sticker). 7471-7480 and 7860-7870 seem to be the main testers with some sets being taken out of service occasionally for additional testing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
