Coney Island Av Posted June 22, 2018 Share #7101 Posted June 22, 2018 36 minutes ago, jon2305 said: That formation makes no sense. Why would 2091-2095 go back to Corona yard a second time? Its already a linked 5-car. I guess I should clarify: I only said it "might" go back, but I'm unsure if it will, hence why I put that it could go either-or. The five-car set was there to move the single(s) around. Besides, 1924-1926-1934-1938-1942 all went as a scrambled five-car set, so 1901-1904-1907-1908 could possibly be linked to 1923. And an FYI- the singles mentioned earlier were transferred on separate occasions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2091-2095 will either: A) be hooked to the newly formed five-car set mentioned earlier so they can form a full-length train or B) will return to Corona Yard 3 hours ago, Coney Island Av said: I guess I should clarify: I only said it "might" go back, but I'm unsure if it will, hence why I put that it could go either-or.

Calvin Posted June 22, 2018 Share #7106 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) From what I've noticing, whenever a R62A pop-ups for garbage duty on the Flushing line, it's mostly 1901-1908 that's seen. 42 St Shuttle units can be seen doing garbage duty on the mainline. -- Speaking of the Flushing units, I wonder if they are going to take out the circle and diamond LED and move them over to the units (Shuttle units as well).

What about the 240 St units that are on the ? If those are being loaned indefinitely, shouldn't they also get those LEDs? It was really stupid of them to separate 1921-1925 in the first place, perhaps they could reunify that set.

Coney Island Av Posted June 24, 2018 Share #7114 Posted June 24, 2018 Just now, Calvin said: No, still at Corona for 2081 to have a full-width cab. Will 1905 leave Corona? Some of the singles you mentioned were staying at Corona actually left (1901, 1904, 1907, 1908, 1923). 1902, 1903, 1906, and 1910 are all hooked to flatbed cars, so that means they'll be staying for work service. However, 1905 is isolated from the rest and is sitting in front of an R188 by itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, it's at 207 St used for parts for other R142As. Who knows when it'll be back on the tracks. If you're wondering the set that was OOS from this year's winter is 7596-7610. As for the , they have extra trips added from their previous schedule (not a lot) but they do have more spares now.
