r142a7436 Posted February 8, 2017 Share #6805 Posted February 8, 2017 I'm gonna assume that 2461-2475 being transfered from the to the is due to the loss of 1921-5 and 1961-5 to the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agar io Posted February 13, 2017 Share #6813 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) This may seem stupid (and maybe slightly off-topic), but are the five-car R188 sets, or the six-car sets, the leading consists in Manhattan-bound trains? What I mean is that there only seems to be one C/R board at train stations. In the Manhattan-bound platform, are these C/R boards located five, or six, cars from the front of the train? I'm assuming it's the opposite situation on the Queens-bound platform where the placement of the C/R boards roughly correspond to those on the opposite platform. I say this because the R188s are the only cars in the system wherein the consists must be ordered in a specific order relative to the train's destination. The R62As are irrelevant here since they are in a 5-1-5 setup, so it doesn't matter which direction an R62A train is oriented in.

danielhg121 Posted February 13, 2017 Share #6814 Posted February 13, 2017 They are 5-cars heading in the Manhattan direction, the new R188 cars placed in converted R142A sets are placed in the 2nd of the 6 cars of the main st bd direction. The conductor is in the same cab for both journeys. Yea, they roughly correspond to the opposite sides.

Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app They're trying something different now with the converted 6 car sets. They're "flipping" the set around, so now the C car insert will be the 5th car on the Main St side. 6 car set still facing Flushing though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also 5-(1-1-1-1-1-1) for the R62As *1 = single units 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted February 13, 2017 Share #6817 Posted February 13, 2017 Aren't they arranged that way for a reason since the conductor boards would be in a different position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted February 17, 2017 Share #6824 Posted February 17, 2017 Surprising that they wouldn't announce that to the public but I guess they are waiting for the full line CBTC and the general public doesn't rly care.

MHV9218 Posted February 17, 2017 Share #6825 Posted February 17, 2017 As I was told by 2 MTA employees, the 7 will become CBTC on Tuesday from 74th Street to Main Street Seems kind of hard to believe. With two sets of R188s out of service, I doubt they're going to go full CBTC and sideline the multiple trains of R62As they need to run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
