SubBus Posted November 7, 2012 Share #901 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) If there was an R32 on the , then thats because the R46's are doing very bad, i saw one at 207th st, it ran like complete crap, thats the only reason why they would be on if an R46 is acting up and if they don't any have spares The supposedly lost two sets of R46s as well....

TwoTimer Posted November 8, 2012 Share #902 Posted November 8, 2012 Yes, the did in fact lose two trains to scrap, the ones that sat at 207 partially submerged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted November 8, 2012 Share #903 Posted November 8, 2012 Yes, the did in fact lose two trains to scrap, the ones that sat at 207 partially submerged. So I guess these sets being trucked to the Rockaways will remain on the even after Rockaway service is restored? What about the R42s on the ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt R32's will run on the shuttle once through service is reestablished - they can't run in OPTO service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted November 9, 2012 Share #906 Posted November 9, 2012 Unknown yet until the IND Rockaway Line and the train are restored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted November 9, 2012 Share #908 Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I doubt R32's will run on the shuttle once through service is reestablished - they can't run in OPTO service. So can you explain why they are doing this then , they are gonna run on the shuttle between Far Rockaway and Rockaway Park, I explained why already here's proof: They will have C/R's as well, 20 R32's will go out there, BTW 3514/15 is not apart of the consist, 3514/15 is on the with rehabbed trucks, 3406/7 and 3870 is in the Rockaway Pk yard, 3871 and 3426/7 still at N'conduit, so 15 more to get transferred All cars that are going, Have been inspected with replaced Brake shoes and etc. plus a inspection pit is being configured for inspections in rock pk yard My theory is that they will run in 6-8 car consists while the others are spares Edited November 9, 2012 by R32 3838 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gong Gahou Posted November 9, 2012 Share #909 Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) R32 3838, I think you should read AndrewJC's post again, because he did not say what you think he said. Edited November 9, 2012 by Gong Gahou 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted November 9, 2012 Share #910 Posted November 9, 2012 He basically said when through service resumes again, between Manhattan and the Rockaways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share #913 Posted November 9, 2012 Those 16 cars are scrap? I doubt that. They are scrap, along with several R42s up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are scrap, along with several R42s up there. What is the exact nature of the damage? After all, sixteen 75' cars is a handful. Is there really no way of saving them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted November 10, 2012 Share #916 Posted November 10, 2012 I rode on an R42 on Wednesday morning. I wasnt even trying to look for them and one just comes to me. Of course it stopped at the 10 car marker. But since I was at the front (RFW and all, I treat ALL my R42 rides as if they were my last ) and got off at 59th for a waiting , I didnt see for myself if it was an 8 car (likely) or 10 car consist (doubt it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really no way of saving them? sea water damaged those cars, the conponets are prone to rot so they are like screw it and scrap it, there are already 2 R46's that are basicly parts donors, thats 6206/7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 10, 2012 Share #918 Posted November 10, 2012 I hope none were the AA pairs. But that sucks losing 2 whole trains like that. On the bright side, probably 2 whole trains worth of R32s sticking around longer, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there were A-A units in that set that got soaked in that flooded 207th st BTW 6 more R32's went to N'conduit to get trucked, so far about 8-10 (10 by tomorrow morning if they decide to truck 2 more cars) are in rock pk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted November 10, 2012 Share #920 Posted November 10, 2012 Ok guys, Im not all that good with trains, but when I was on the platform on 42nd st today, If I didn't know any better I would say it was an R42 that pulled up on the . Has this already been discussed? It also wasn't a full length train because when it stopped, there was this huge gap between the last car, and the end of the platform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyCee Posted November 10, 2012 Share #921 Posted November 10, 2012 Yes, they are running a couple of R42s on the C. Even though they're 8 car trains, T/Os have been instructed to make 10 car stops, so the C/R is on his/her indication board when properly berthed in the station. R42s have no door controls in the #1 cab, so C/R operating position is not in the middle, but 5/3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted November 10, 2012 Share #923 Posted November 10, 2012 Does anyone have the fleet numbers of the R46s which were destroyed? I'm looking through my NYC photos, to see if I photographed any of them before they were flooded, I know that 5822-5825 and 5840-5843 were among the damaged cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ MC Posted November 10, 2012 Share #924 Posted November 10, 2012 How do they plan on making up for those cars? That is a tough one. Since 16 cars are out that reduces the amount of spares from 36 cars down to just 20. There are 340 R46s assigned to the of which 304 are used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
