rr4567 Posted March 14, 2013 Share #1076 Posted March 14, 2013 SMS on the R160? For CBTC or what? Because they're pieces of schiesse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted March 14, 2013 Share #1077 Posted March 14, 2013 No sms happens every 10-25. on the R32s case it happened twice. No. The R32 has been through many SMS cycles by now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted March 14, 2013 Share #1078 Posted March 14, 2013 No sms happens every 10-25. on the R32s case it happened twice.False. SMS is a 5-7 year cycle, depending on part life. You are referring to GOH, which only happened once, and will only happy once because of the major state of disrepair of the fleet in the 70s and 80s. SMS replaced the GOH program so that the cars would never deteriorate to the state of condition that requires a general overhaul. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 14, 2013 Share #1079 Posted March 14, 2013 Yea, all the subway cars get SMS'd like every six years or so... At least the Montague tunnel connection well get used to transport to these 160s to and from CI Yard. Sucks very few people have caught an R143 making that move though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When JA starts to SMS, whats going to fill in for the loss? R46 from Pitkin? R160 from CI? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted March 15, 2013 Share #1082 Posted March 15, 2013 Some Good News for you R42 Fans, the TA decided not to go with the plan on retiring the R42's this year, also the summer swaps will going on every summer until the R179's arrive, also the (Base order R160A-1's) will undergo SMS (8313-8652) so this might be intresting and THEY will not use the R143's for the (J)/(M) so ENY might need all of thier R42's for the summer and its still possible that the R32's MIGHT still go to ENY as spares just incase an R42 crap out The 32 & 42 going back to the is not good news for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted March 15, 2013 Share #1084 Posted March 15, 2013 The 32 & 42 going back to the is not good news for me. I got to get as many R32 rides as possible. Might RFW the entire 207-Far Rock or Rock Park route, and maybe Lefferts (if most or all of them go there instead of the Rocks). Last year I only did an RFW on the express from 207-Fulton and from Euclid-125. The R46 will still be here anyway and the R32s are my all time favorite cars. I do understand its suck standing on such a longer route on an older 10-car married train with only seat availability for the operator and not also the conductor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the R160s from the are getting sms this summer east ny yard is gonna need all 50 R42s that they have so there likely wont be any R42s on the this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds so true, since the runs 36 trains at rush hour (formerly 38). But aren't 38 trains enough to maintain the amount of headways the runs during rush hour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted March 15, 2013 Share #1089 Posted March 15, 2013 One summer eavning, operating a 42 I look at the cab door and see roaches crawling up the door. Look down they were everywhere.

RollOver Posted March 15, 2013 Share #1090 Posted March 15, 2013 Oops, for my post above Dan's, I meant to say aren't 38 trains enough to maintain the amount of headways the runs at rush hour on its fully route (between 207 and Lefferts/the Rocks)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJay85 Posted March 18, 2013 Share #1096 Posted March 18, 2013 Btw they shouldn't keep the 8 cars. R32s shouldn't be on , I do agreed with R32 3838 also all R42s should be moved to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32s shouldn't be on , I do agreed with R32 3838 also all R42s should be moved to was going to have 600 foot trains, but the circumstances surrounding the R44s pretty much killed that plan all together. The original plan was for the R160s to replace all of the 60 foot cars. The R44s and R46s would rule the and until being replaced down the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32s belong on the they have been there for alot of their lives so if you dont like it wait for the R179s to replace it.

RollOver Posted March 18, 2013 Share #1099 Posted March 18, 2013 Unless conductor controls are located in the usual middle position (4-5 cars if the consist is 8-cars in sets of four) on the R40s and R42s, those trains have to stop all the way at the front of the 10 car marketer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted March 20, 2013 Share #1100 Posted March 20, 2013 THANK YOU!!! I've been saying that for the LONGEST, its smarter to put em on the in the summer, 8 Car R160A1's will save time and money since its 8 cars and there wouldn't be a need for swicth crews I could be wrong, but 207th can't maintain the A1s, right? I'm pretty sure East New York can work with the 32s, but if the 160s were put on the C, the cars would have to be brought back and forth in order to be serviced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
