.I will hopefully go to the 71 Av station to take pics and vids of them. I know it may be a better idea to go to the middle of the route but I probably won't have time. This may be the last time the R32s will operate on Queens Blvd in revenue service. This is a foamer's dream.

Where were you years ago when there were 32's,40,42's on the QBL. If you wont have time just check out youtube. Theres a rare occurrence of R-32's operating on the QBL when the (C) or and (A) gets re-routed via 53rd St due to activity at 59th or north of that. This is not even close to a foamers dream. It hasnt been that long since there were 32s on the (R).

 

I'm checking tomorrow regardless. I don't see why they would suddenly cancel it.

We all know things happen and life goes on. Good luck anyways.

Well considering that I talked to crew members who would definetely know if it was going on and they told me it wasn't happening, I'd advise against it because you'd probably be wasting your time. I have a relatively busy weekend so I'm not gonna go since the chances of it happening seem like almost none now.

Luckily all I have to do to get to Forest Hills 71 Ave is take the Q64 to the last stop. However I've taken the R32's on all the QBL's so it's nothing new to me. Now if I catch it on the (J) it might be a little more interesting because that line has a nice big portion outside.

This entire fiasco is just funny to me. Let me trace the train of thought here:

 

Announcement of an R32 R

-

assumption that there will be more than one train

assumption that the C will need R46s

assumption that some R32s will stay on the R

assumption that the C/J/R/Z will all run R32s

assumption that the entire fleet will need transfers

-

Announcement that there will only be one R32 R set

-

continued assumptions that R32s will move to the R

continued assumptions that R32s are staying on the R

waiting

waiting

-

Photo of R32 R at night

-

assumption that that was the only set

assumption that the train is back in the yard

assumption that everybody was played

declarations that everybody is an idiot

declarations that everybody is a foamer 

self-righteous "glad I didn't waste my time" comments

-

More proof that R32 R is running

claims that proof is a lie

claims that everybody is a foamer

more self-righteous comments

more declarations that everybody is wrong

-

Confirmed proof of the train in service

dead silence
