Fresh Pond Posted December 10, 2012 Share #1576 Posted December 10, 2012 I highly doubt crews are going to start changing all 20 signs on the 62s from Parkchester to Pelham every day. When was the last time a terminating at WIllets Point had signs that listed Willets Point as the northenr temrinal? Not once have I ever seen it. I seen it before...it wasn't all the cars most of the time mainly the C/R and T/O cars, but it still gets changed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted December 10, 2012 Share #1581 Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) R188's are coming! 23 Brand spaking new cars, and 10 converted! And just to shut down all the speculation..... The cars ARE definitely coming from the . Merry Christmas! More details in the coming days! Hoping for some kind of replication of the current propulsion.

RollOver Posted December 10, 2012 Share #1585 Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Anyway, it would be cool if Communication-based train control system increases capacity a bit at Main Street in Flushing, Queens and 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan with more frequency of the already frequent . That will be one of the good things about the new signalling system for the Flushing Line.

RookiePhenom Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1587 Posted December 11, 2012 Nope, the crew is just running up and down the tracks yelling wheeeeeee I'm a 188!!!!!!" Go home train crew, you are drunk. Seriously, good ish on testing, and good luck with the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1588 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) So it's gonna be just like how the is but in this case it's r62a's not r142's Huh? I'm not following what you mean there. If you mean there will be 2 train types, then yes.= So now that it's almost 99% confirmed the R62As are going to the , I wonder if they'll swap the remaining R142As for the 's R142s so the will have all the remaining R142As? *Not saying they have to, but just wondering if they should.

Princelex Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1593 Posted December 11, 2012 If you noticed in that video, you can tell that 7899 stands out from the rest. I think it's the lighting and it seems like they put new seats in the trains too. I'm looking forward to checking this train out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1594 Posted December 11, 2012 I'm glad they kept the propulsion sound the same Nice to see the IRT get new cars, even if its only one new car in a train set. I was pretty young when the 142/As were new in the system so I couldn't truly enjoy it like I did when the 160s were new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engr08 Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1597 Posted December 11, 2012 If it does have LED lighting it would look so off. They should have done the entire set like the R188, just my thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted December 11, 2012 Share #1598 Posted December 11, 2012 Don't those middle tracks end just past the station, for the train to have been coming in from the distance, and at that speed? That's what the track maps still show. Did they extend them recently or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this link provided before somewhere (http://b24blog.blogspot.com/p/468-stations-842-miles.html), it looks as if it were extended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
