Union Tpke Posted June 7, 2015 Share #3151 Posted June 7, 2015 I think that the best R32s should be saved after the R179s start coming in. They can go to the Rockaway Park Shuttle, and the G train. The R46s and R68/As could go to other lines. Also this could mean the expansion of G service to 6 cars. These R32s can last for a few more years before the R211s come, with a possible extra option to replace these R32s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted June 7, 2015 Share #3155 Posted June 7, 2015 I saw it at Euclid ave being transferred on the express track the sign said it was going into Pitkin yard to run on the during morning rush I see. However, the does not run out of Pitkin, so if it was going back to the it was going to 207th Street. Also, the R32s are not restricted to morning rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted June 8, 2015 Share #3157 Posted June 8, 2015 It is still 300 feet on weekdays. Can't do 300 feet with R32s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted June 8, 2015 Share #3161 Posted June 8, 2015 They'll most likely keep the half R32s and half R160s for the rest of the summer or year round. It has 18 trainsets for service and about 6 or 8 trainsets as spares. The only has 7-8 sets of R160s left in its fleet, with the rest being those 14-15 sets of R32s and 6 sets of R42s. It has 20 trainsets for service during rush hours, 14 trainsets during middays, evenings and weekends, and 8 trainsets at night. The SMEEs on the nowdays run at any given time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may not happen this summer, these people keep on bicthing and moaning and it sadly seems the ta is giving in, the is supposed to have a total of 11 trainsets of R160's with 4 car spares 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted June 8, 2015 Share #3163 Posted June 8, 2015 Oh ok. I hope they don't give in though, because at least half of the 224 R32 cars should be outside on the for the whole summer. Screw those lousy ass Riders Alliance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will retire on the and that's awsome because I live on the and it will be nice enjoy the R42s and R32s before they are dumped into the Atlantic Ocean Edited June 9, 2015 by R3216068E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted June 9, 2015 Share #3166 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Good thing 207th Street Shop are finally able to maintain the NTTs, so the can stay half SMEEs and half NTTs without any problems. In the meantime, the can stay 85% SMEEs. Of course, the swaps can increase further or just stay the way it is now though.

NewFlyer 230 Posted June 9, 2015 Share #3167 Posted June 9, 2015 It's going to be annoying catching the R32 on the when it's 90 outside and you get a car with weak A/C however it's good that the can get some newer equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a moot point since the ONLY place we'll ever see the R32's run from this point forward are the and , but the 32's and 42's are banned from running on the following lines: Try to figure out something that these lines have in common for your answer why.

BrooklynIRT Posted June 10, 2015 Share #3170 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Montague tunnel clearance issues following the renovations.

R32 3838 Posted June 10, 2015 Share #3172 Posted June 10, 2015 They did something wrong, but ENY sent a mix train of R32/42's down there to see if they fixed the issue, they have to fix it soon because the garbage trains that they use down there are R32's, if anything happens on the bridge happens at night the garbage train is screwed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted June 10, 2015 Share #3173 Posted June 10, 2015 Didn't they run a 32 on the in service one weekend to test the issues in the tunnel? Don't remember that going wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was when the Montague Tunnel was closed for Sandy repairs, that train went via the Bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
