lupojohn Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2626 Posted April 16, 2014 That's because the line is 90% outside, they want all of them outside this year, the only people who would complain is the people from Jamaica center Put them on the shuttles, then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreechyFlange Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2627 Posted April 16, 2014 Put them on the shuttles, then. The R32's aren't good with OPTO, I hope the keeps the 160's after the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j express Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2634 Posted April 16, 2014 If the R32s go to C.I I would see them go on the , Since its a weekday route but the are better since they go out more and their terminals are outdoors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl94 Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2635 Posted April 16, 2014 The are good candidates because they're almost entirely outside and ENY is used to dealing with older rolling stock. Remember, the Eastern Division was all R40s and R42s before the R143s and R160s came in. Of all non-shuttle B-division services, nothing else comes close to the percentage of outdoor time. Will they put a set on the ? I could see them doing so if they run out of spares, but it spends a lot of time inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2636 Posted April 16, 2014 And who is besides the The can't run R32s. The only viable candidate would be the , one of the reasons they're being sent to the is so that the HVAC units can get more circulation outdoors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32sdabest Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2637 Posted April 16, 2014 They can put em on the Rockaway shuttle after memorial day (that's when the shuttle is full length expect late nights) But by then the R32s would be at ENY Yard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all anecdotal. On the whole, it's safe to say that nobody likes the old fleet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 16, 2014 Share #2641 Posted April 16, 2014 Except the buffs obviously. Alas, it is what it is. I will be glad when they're gone though. They have been workhorses over their lives, but as of late, we have to keep accommodating them so they don't crap out while in service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
