MHV9218 Posted September 13, 2016 Share #3678 Posted September 13, 2016 Anybody clear on where 3786 is? Is that car still a work car at CI or is it in service? And in any case, is the old "M" logo still on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted September 13, 2016 Share #3680 Posted September 13, 2016 I don't remember the number but I saw an R32 with the M logo on the last week. Probably 3718 -- that one's been like that for a little while. Had the new logo, went into work service, came back with the old M. 3578 had its logo covered up, and 3834-3835 had theirs re-stickered too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R10 2952 Posted November 6, 2016 Share #3683 Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) I miss the R42s on 8th Avenue , but an extra R32 consist is good too. Any chance it will be a Rockaway Park put-in during rush hours? Haven't seen an R32 go to/from Beach 116th in about 5 years...

Mastervonblitz Posted November 16, 2016 Share #3691 Posted November 16, 2016 I am not to happy that they are going to replace all the R42s and just some of the R32s. They should keep the R42s over the R32s. The R32s are older than the R42s. I think should do SMS on what remains of the R42 fleet and the R32s left after the R179s come into service. The MTA is only getting rid of about 112 R32s and the remaining 50 R42s. I think they should get rid of 162 R32s instead as there is only about 222 R32s left in service. Keep the R42s and have them make 5 train sets on the G line after SMS treatment same for the remaining R32s. Have them run on the G to create more train sets as the M and L lines will be shut down for maintenance that means more people will be on the G. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have them run on the G to create more train sets as the M and L lines will be shut down for maintenance that means more people will be on the G. It makes more sense to replace the R42's for the following reasons: 1. The R32s are in much better shape than the R42s. It makes literally no sense to keep them. 2. There are way more R32's than R42's still in service. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted November 16, 2016 Share #3694 Posted November 16, 2016 R32's have always been in better shape and there was always more of that fleet to begin with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted November 16, 2016 Share #3695 Posted November 16, 2016 Alright, time to nip this in the bud- The R42s are not being retired right now; considering the extensive delays and other problems with the R179 delivery, they probably won't start retiring until the second half of 2017. Secondly, the MTA has made it clear that a limited number of cars will be kept for service increases during the shutdown- right now, the last thing they would do is start scrapping cars just for the sake of doing so. Can't count chickens before they hatch. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted February 11, 2017 Share #3697 Posted February 11, 2017 the number of R32's in active service is now 218. 3476/77 is missing parts (I could assume its done since its missing windows and a rollsign box as well as headlights) and another pair was stripped for parts last summer, it was a 38xx pair. This doesn't mean they're starting to retire cars, they just need to kill off a pair or two of bad cars for parts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are a few cars that have been held out of service for an extended period, but that doesn't mean that they're off the active roster. They could be returned to service at any time.

Union Tpke Posted February 23, 2017 Share #3699 Posted February 23, 2017 Their MDBF is declining and surprisingly the R42s have a higher MDBF than the R32s. Screen Shot 2017-02-21 at 5.25.27 PM by spicker613, on Flickr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted February 23, 2017 Share #3700 Posted February 23, 2017 Wow the converted R188's, what the hell is that? +75% like damn. Most of the R42s were recently SMS'd the past year or so, that could lead to better results I guess.
