RollOver Posted June 2, 2015 Share #3126 Posted June 2, 2015 most of the time it is an issue, but some of the crews don't realize that they sign up the signs backwards sometimes, thus confusing more passengers, this morning the had about 3-4 R160's on it Yeah, I've seen it too back in the summers of 2013 and 2014. Occasionally during the off-peak, like maybe 2-3 trains are all signed up as a , or the side signs are backwards or upside down. This really shouldn't confuse the off-peak riders though, since the skip-stop is not in place during the off-peak. I mean the only difference between the and is the stations they skip during rush hours. Otherwise, they're the same exact thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3216068E Posted June 3, 2015 Share #3127 Posted June 3, 2015 Question do any of you know how many R32s are going to stay in ENY after this swap is the going to get back more than half of the R32s or is it going to be half R160s and half SMEES 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3216068E Posted June 3, 2015 Share #3128 Posted June 3, 2015 Better maintenance at Pikin Yard vs Jamaica? Also a lot of the line 46s are layed up overnight. The line cars get inspected more often cause of the high mileage of the route, considering these factors its totally believable Pikin's 46s are in better shape. And TA employees on these message boards have said that Pikin's 46s were better. Yeah but you have R46s that are also from 207 st yard and they don't inspect their trains good either look at some of the R32s on the that screech their way into stations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted June 3, 2015 Share #3129 Posted June 3, 2015 R46's are from pitkin, not 207th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens with just about every other car type from time to time. Once again, the is the system's longest line and one of the only lines that run 24/7. Of course it's gonna have problems no matter what cars it uses. Not every train gets repaired and inspected. Each and every car type is assigned to one shop for maintaince and inspection. However, some other trains are stored in the yard for rest. Not every train is dealt with. It's universal. Nothing to worry about though.

RollOver Posted June 3, 2015 Share #3132 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) That's not what I was intended to be in my post.

I know it's Going to have problems no matter what it uses same for every other line I'm just saying you might as well use equipment that is less likely to breakdown and cause delays for the , now back to topic this is the last summer you might ever see an R32 on the because of this swap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with S78, it's more likely you saw a train deadheading than a back and forth in car assignments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted June 6, 2015 Share #3144 Posted June 6, 2015 ENY maintains the R32's BTW another R160 was transferred last nightBtw there's an R32 running on the right now Wow, they still have that lone R32 set on the ? About like 2 days ago, I saw an 8-car R32 train at the ENY yard and half of the train's side rollsigns said with the north rollsigns displaying 207 Street, Manhattan and the south rollsigns displaying Lefferts Blvd, Queens. Btw, it seems to me that there are more than half of the remaining 28 eight-car R32 trains on the . I wonder when will Joe Korner update the car assignment roster to show the permanent changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
