Just curious, will there exist any chance of me photographing a 62A (7) train in October 2013?

 

Should be pretty cool to ride a 62A through City Hall though.

 

It's going to be a few years before the 62A's are done with the (7). The 62A's will be on the (7) when the extension to 34th St opens.

ok let's see how (6) customers react I would love to see their priceless reactions :lol: I need popcorn I don't use the (6) so I don't care.

 

However I would like to know are the R62A's compatible with countdown clocks or all fleet trains can do it? What is the weakness of these old trains anyway vs R188/R142A ect?

 

The difference: New technology.

Does this testing mean that there will be r188's in service on the other IRT lines except the (7) in case of fleet shortage and what not?

 

 

No - testing is different from revenue service. The WPR and Dyre corridor is less busy than the (7), so they test there.

ENOUGH with this debate...

 

Also, a random question, will the rollsigns on the 62A's just read "Special" for the extension, or does the MTA plan to replace the rollsigns?
