Fresh Pond Posted March 7, 2013 Share #1927 Posted March 7, 2013 I agree 6 line should get remaining 20 R62A for what reason? Anyone forgot. Times Square / Grand Central Shuttle R62A singles based out of Westchester Yard at least seeing R62A singles. The shuttle is based out of Livonia with its own dedicated fleet of 20 or so cars... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R142A start to leave on the 6 line. 440 R142A remaining on 6 line service. Westchester will Not be able to use the next R62As returning 1651-1660 until R188s 7211-7220 go into service on the . Yes those R62As are on their way back to westchester but they wont be aloud to touch it and run on the until the first set of R188s start running in may 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted March 7, 2013 Share #1930 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) According to who? The 6 has been loosing R142As for conversion. The R188s for the 7 should not be a reason why the 6 can't run that set for service if it's ready. They are not related/one doesn't impact the other.

ttcsubwayfan Posted March 7, 2013 Share #1933 Posted March 7, 2013 That does not answer my question. Your original post implied that 1651-1660 have already been moved to Westchester, but cannot be used until May. That makes no sense at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodside7878 Posted March 7, 2013 Share #1937 Posted March 7, 2013 If 1651-1660 have been moved to Westchester, why would they be forbidden from use until May? i just taken car#1654 which means 1651-1655 is still assign to the Corona Yard, I don't know about 1656-1660 whereabouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times Square / Grand Central Shuttle R62A singles based out of Westchester Yard at least seeing R62A singles. Umm ur kinda wrong there buddy. Times sq shuttles R62As are not based out of westchester yard. They are based out of llivonia Yard. i just taken car#1654 which means 1651-1655 is still assign to the Corona Yard, I don't know about 1656-1660 whereabouts. Our best bet if u rode 1651-1655 is to wait until the next set of R62As gets to westchester yard before talking about car numbers.

mtattrain Posted March 8, 2013 Share #1939 Posted March 8, 2013 How do they send the R188 that are testing at Gun Hill Rd to Corona Yard other than taking the train via Lexington Ave to Linden Yard withe a diesel locomotive onto the line until the switch onto the then go onto the conectune to the Mountauge Tunnel back up switch onto express track switch of before 49 st switch onto q-bound track got to switch onto line to yard isn't it really complicated? Maybe they take the trains through 207th St yard (from the IRT to the IND then loop to the Queensboro Plaza via Coney Island station and then to the . Plus, those R188s wouldn't be delivered through freight tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip1035 Posted March 11, 2013 Share #1948 Posted March 11, 2013 Saw another set of R62as on the 6 today. At 5:29 this evening I was on a uptown at 14th Union Sq (something was happening on the and track). As my train was pulling out of the station, the 2145 (being the head car) and 2144 R62a were pulling into the 14th St Union Sq station on the downtown track. I only got a glimbse of the first two train car numbers. Sadly, I was unable to yet again, catch a picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first set was 1741-1745 & 2141-2145, and is the only R62A set for now as I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
