TheNewYorkElevated Posted July 31, 2015 Share #3276 Posted July 31, 2015 The R143 being on the J has nothing to do with the vandalized R32, the R143's are now assigned to the J, you'll only see about 1-3 sets of R143's on the J/Z anyway Okay. And when they'll be commonly out on the and ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted July 31, 2015 Share #3277 Posted July 31, 2015 As per RTO sources Effective starting in September R32's will start popping up on the What's the reasoning behind this? Curious what the roll sign solution will be. Could put it on the brown M, could put it on the 6th Ave V, could put a sticker on, or could leave it at Special and put some paper on the window like the to Rector. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted July 31, 2015 Share #3278 Posted July 31, 2015 Wait, R143's can operate on non-CBTC lines? Yes, as long as the train is in CBTC Bypass, it can run anywhere. The CBTC equipped R160s do it all the time on the If they couldn't, they would have never been on the as they are now...

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 YEARS FOR THIS! FINALLY R32s Back on Queens Blvd! RFW Here I come! Sorry about that. The R32s are my favorite subway cars, and I was hoping that this would happen before their retirement. I will now be willing to take the local M instead of the E on the way back from school!

R32 3838 Posted August 1, 2015 Share #3286 Posted August 1, 2015 I've been hearing the 143's on the instead of the 32's. I doubt it because they would only run about 1-2 sets, but it's basically R32's or R143's, they don't want the R32's to rack up in miles plus that Go that's going on next year, they would probably put at least 4-5 sets of R32's for now, plus it's easier to have R143's on the because of the swapping between the J and L lines when it comes to CBTC R160A-1's and R143's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there aren't going to be R32's on the , just keep the 4-car (total 8 car set) R160's. Simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to make an entire new rollsign, just slap a Continental Av sticker over one of the unused southern terminals (I think Metro still counts as the north terminal for the , idk), then slap an orange sticker over one of the unused routes and call it a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are making it seem like the MTA has to make a brand new sign. Just use paste a orange M on top of the V. You already have the Forest Hills 71st Ave roll sign and the Metropolitan Ave you just change the one that says via 6th Ave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted August 1, 2015 Share #3294 Posted August 1, 2015 There's no need to slap a sticker over the old V sign, just put an orange sticker over one of the signs, and metropolitan Ave is a south terminal, on the original signs there's no metropolitan Ave on the south sign, on the newer signs, metropolitan is a south sign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
