Fresh Pond Posted December 15, 2012 Share #1627 Posted December 15, 2012 Who knows the MTA might R62A swap and mix them with the 4,5,6 but we are going to have to wait and see. If they do it will sure feel like the old days if they did the same with the Redbirds. Maybe they might swap with the 5 and give the R142's to the 6 (work better, and westchester can have the same equipment) because the 5 doesn't operate late nights so it might help save the cars year span. I think my plan is better. So does everyone else who pretty much pitched the same exact plan... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my plan is better. This again?!?! *headdesk Had a talk with some of the Corona cat equipment folk last night. Not only are the 62As still on track to go to Westchester, but Westchester is "making all kinda of crazy modification demands" before they will accept the fleet, which is why they keep doing all those transfers to 207 to prepare them. If you take nothing else from this post, please take the part where I said THE R62As ARE GOING TO WESTCHESTER. END OF STORY, END OF DEBATE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted December 15, 2012 Share #1631 Posted December 15, 2012 It's only speculation from the foamers who want the see the R62A's on a line they haven't been on before. Pay them no mind. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since for some reason, that's counted as speculation as well. well 'sorry'...From ur post it seemed like you agreed with that poster said instead of just the specific points. Of course R62as are going to the 6, I never doubted that part. Other people have already posted reasons why r62as to the 5 wouldn't work, that was my point. If it happens :shrugs: but I'd tend to take snowblock's word over a rail fan. Edited December 15, 2012 by Grand Concourse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1636 Posted December 16, 2012 Actually park9000, was not lying at all. R-142As 7481-7485 D-I-D come to corona for some sort of test they were sent back to the 6 immediately after the test was completed. As for for what kind of test I do not know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1639 Posted December 16, 2012 but I'd tend to take snowblock's word over a rail fan. Too bad nobody wanted to listen to me when I told them that the would be going to 14 St, followed by Chambers St and lite through the loop, and then eventually Rector St would reopen, instead holding on to this crazy idea about the running from 242 to New Lots. Is there anyone who STILL thinks that's going to happen??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1640 Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) R62As you mean East New York. And I'm very sure that both the and will still have 50 R62As as spares while the rest are in service at rush hour if the gets cut from 34 to 30 trains at the AM Rush. But if the were to still run 34 trains in the AM Rush, then both the and would only have a spare factor of 20 R62As to which in my opinion would be risky and highly unlikely to happen. But anyways, back on topic now. I'm tired of waiting longer to see CBTC improvements for the Flushing Line which will takes a few more years, so I'm going to still enjoy the R142As on the and the R62As on the (especially the railfan window on the Flushing-bound end).

MHV9218 Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1645 Posted December 16, 2012 Good for them, but the word from very, very high up for a long time was that the we'd be seeing some R62As moved to the 6, though the line would still retain some R142As. Now, things change and you never know what exactly will happen, but that WAS the official plan for a long time. Next time I talk to my contacts I'll try to find out if there's been a change, but if there hasn't been a change, expect R62As on the 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1646 Posted December 16, 2012 The day will come before we know it, I have no expectations of anything else anymore other than knowing that Westchester will become just R62As and Corona will become just R188s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1647 Posted December 16, 2012 There are going to be some r142s on the 6, the 7 has fewer cars and the r188 cars will be additional cars, so the 6 will be a mix with a majority of r62as. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted December 17, 2012 Share #1648 Posted December 17, 2012 Those remaining 50 R142As at Westchester can fill the gap just like the 48 R42s at East New York even though it wouldn't be balance IMO, but yeah... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodside7878 Posted December 17, 2012 Share #1649 Posted December 17, 2012 The testing for the R188 on the 7 will approximately start after the completion of the servers installation at Junction Blvd. The testing will be from Main St Flushing-74 St Broadway since beyond 74 St (except from the Steinway tunnels to Times Square) the signals are not replaced by the new CBTC signals since 2008. Anyone give any thoughts to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
