No, they are, in the past few years, R62/A's keep diminishing on the as time goes on. There are only around 1 to maybe 3 sets on the line now with all being sent to the once CTBC is completed for the , which requires NTT. CTBC for the line is basically almost completed at this point, so the sets will leave soon.

I know, I was talking about the remaining ones (5-car links 2071-75, 2081-85, 2091-95) including the leftover singles that are scattered around there.

Calvin Posted March 28, 2018 Share #6929 Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) There were 3 sets today. They arrived back to back. All 3 trains were 5-car singles with a full cab coupled with 6 single units. *Similar view to the R42 train.

Calvin Posted April 1, 2018 Share #6940 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I don't mean to be negative on this (not trying to point out false statements) but is this an april fools trick? lol Edited April 1, 2018 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted April 1, 2018 Share #6941 Posted April 1, 2018 No joke. the line is now operating in CBTC ATPM mode 24/7 between Main St and Woodside-61, and in WSP from Woodside to 34-Hudson Yards. No exceptions will be made except in a CBTC zone controller failure, which means that ONLY CBTC-equipped trains can operate there during normal service, and only CBTC-qualified train operators may work the line. The last sets of R62A's were transferred to Westchester Yard last night. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted April 1, 2018 Share #6942 Posted April 1, 2018 Ah okay. Thank you. Did they convert the single units that's left there? or it'll remain at Corona for work service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBTC Part is true. As of now those R62A are OOS and bound for Westchester Yd Edited April 1, 2018 by R33WF 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted April 1, 2018 Share #6944 Posted April 1, 2018 So I'm guessing in a matter of days, the oddball R142As will be moved to Jerome yard. Unless that already happened too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least Fix Westchester yard An extra car will be required in order to move to Corona and head to Kawasaki for conversion. They also have enough trains for service since that problem was cleared up with the remaining 62As that was in-service.
