Lance Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6576 Posted July 19, 2016 Wait Queensboro Bridge had tracks and was connected to the system? How? First off, when this was in place, Queensboro Plaza was double the size it currently is. From Queensboro Plaza, the tracks diverged in three ways. The first and second were to the Steinway tubes and the 60th Street tunnels. The third was across the Queensboro Bridge. After crossing the bridge, the tracks turned south to connect to the 2nd Avenue elevated. What was that about using Google to answer your questions...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Angel Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6577 Posted July 19, 2016 Do you guys think that the 5 sets of the new 33 R188's(23 standards, 10 Converted R142A's) could run maybe on the or trains? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6579 Posted July 19, 2016 Do you guys think that the 5 sets of the new 33 R188's(23 standards, 10 Converted R142A's) could run maybe on the or trains? We already established that there is no point in doing so. The R188s are the only cars with CBTC. Until another car class gets it and can be swapped with the R188s, you won't see them anywhere but the .

Jose Angel Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6580 Posted July 19, 2016 Do you guys think it's true if a train is being rerouted, the train operator has the choice if he wants to switch the train to the line it is being rerouted? Like say a train was rerouted via the line to Van Cortlandt Park 242 Street or via the line to Harlem 148 Street, do you guys think the operator has choice if he wants to switch the train into a or train? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Angel Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6582 Posted July 19, 2016 Or another example, if a train is being rerouted via the line to 242 Street, 137 Street, or South Ferry or it's rerouted via the to Harlem 148 Street, does the train operator has a choice to turn the into a and/or train? Because I know if the train is equipped with an R62A or R62, it stays on the same train line, but I'm talking about a NTT like the R142's,R142A's,R188's,R143's,R160A/B,and R179's. 2 sets of a R179 has been built, so I guess the is going to test the 2 sets of the R179's anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6583 Posted July 19, 2016 My lord, I can understand wanting so desperately to see NTTs on the & , but this is getting ridiculous already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Angel Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6584 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) My lord, I can understand wanting so desperately to see NTTs on the & , but this is getting ridiculous already. I'm not saying that, I was asking a question about if it's true that the train operator has the choice to switch the train into the line it's rerouted. For example, if a R142 train is rerouted via the to Burnside Avenue/Woodlawn or if it's rerouted via the to Parkchester/Pelham Bay Park, does the train operator has the choice to switch the train into a and/or train?

Yes. The crew of an train changed the signs to when it got rerouted up CPW, same goes for a train got rerouted over the line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6587 Posted July 19, 2016 I mean NTTs are serious business As is all of the fleets in the subway system. The current NTTs are not that special to me, that's why I'm looking forward to the R211s. Design wise they've taken it to another level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care much about the WiFi, USB Chargers or the digital ads, the front design of the train itself to me says "21st Century." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech And Transit Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6591 Posted July 19, 2016 7866-7870+7860-7865 is running in service saw it at 103st Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app I was on the 7 all day today and didn't see it at all. I highly doubt it's in service because it is the primary CBTC test train and they are still testing CBTC components on it. I've heard it won't be in service until 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted July 19, 2016 Share #6592 Posted July 19, 2016 Lance, I did search it up before I asked, I just wanted clarification for what it had because I did see stub track structures going towards the Queensboro Bridge when I'm on the and never knew what they were until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been waiting to ride that set ever since it left for CBTC testing. Didn't expect it to enter service now, but maybe it has. I didn't see it today so I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't run. ...Unless you was on the line the entire clocking every single train that ran 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see 7860-70 at all. It could be in the layup at Hudson Yards all the way in the back and I just missed it entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
