AndrewJC Posted December 30, 2013 Share #2276 Posted December 30, 2013 They're not for service, its ether for the or for heavy work, there's only 8 cars there There is no conceivable reason for R32's or R42's to run on the G, and plenty of trains for them not to run on the G. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of reasons, not plenty of trains. Brain fart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted December 31, 2013 Share #2279 Posted December 31, 2013 I'm quite surprised no one has chosen to further press the issue. Quite the revelation is just a question or two away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted February 6, 2014 Share #2280 Posted February 6, 2014 Saw an R46 from Jamaica get transferred to pitkin last night, its a loaner someone spotted it in service this morning, so this tells me that the R46 SMS has officially started and that means no R32 to full that void of a lost set of R46's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted February 6, 2014 Share #2282 Posted February 6, 2014 Probably in Manhattan, I saw the transfer myself when I was on the C train last night, front car said F and the sides said not in service, the train passed me at Kingston throop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted February 6, 2014 Share #2284 Posted February 6, 2014 So another question: If we are to see R46's pulled out of Jamaica we will see more R160's on the as a result, no? But then how will this affect the roster on the ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl94 Posted February 6, 2014 Share #2285 Posted February 6, 2014 So another question: If we are to see R46's pulled out of Jamaica we will see more R160's on the as a result, no? But then how will this affect the roster on the ? As of the most recent car assignments, isn't the all R160s? I'd think they'd have a decent amount of R46 and R160 sets set aside as extra consists in case of breakdown, so would there even be any big changes at Jamaica? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted February 6, 2014 Share #2286 Posted February 6, 2014 The uses 3 sets of R46's and the uses the rest, all they'll do is add an R160 to the the since Jamaica has enough cars For now Pitkin only needs a set or two, I'm surprised that they didn't use an R32 set to full that void, that's what they'll normally do, but I guess management doesn't want em on the at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted February 6, 2014 Share #2287 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) As of the most recent car assignments, isn't the all R160s? I'd think they'd have a decent amount of R46 and R160 sets set aside as extra consists in case of breakdown, so would there even be any big changes at Jamaica? Well as R32 3838 stated, there are some R46 cars that exist on the . That could change (maybe). As for the void that can occur on the with the tentative SMS, my guess is as good as anyone else. I did hear some R32 sets being linked up so that's another indication that something is rally going on here. However I do see one thing, the may be mostly R160's once again as it once was pre Montaugue Street shutdown. I'll admit I am stumped on the . Man Who knows as discussed the issue with the Rockaways is fixed as of 2010 as per Daniel the Cool and Orion. So perhaps we may actually see something nuts like R160's on the ? Let me wipe the foam of my face. Lol. Just speculation here folks... Edited February 6, 2014 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted February 23, 2014 Share #2291 Posted February 23, 2014 Yup they took it OOS at 4pm, according to a T/O the reason why they added it because an R46 got stuck on the Brooklyn side after the G.O started, so they had no choice but to add this train, the last 2 cars were dirty on the outside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted February 25, 2014 Share #2298 Posted February 25, 2014 why are the R160's being SMS'ed? As always, SMS is all about fixing and/or replace any failing parts on a NYC subway car. Happens every 5-7 years or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted February 27, 2014 Share #2300 Posted February 27, 2014 I think that's what they did with the R32s, despite them being on the last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
