The F platforms south of a Church are only good for 600 feet, so conductors would either have to fumingate the last car, or terminate 11 car trains at Church. The first takes time, and the second cuts service to the Culver El. 2. Many if not most platforms on the F give train crews only the smallest margin of error with 11 car trains, so running them would precipitate overruns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted December 16, 2017 Share #3930 Posted December 16, 2017 Here's a random question that I could ask in 3 diffrent threads Would it be good to put the '179's and some 4 car R160 sets on the and have the use its R68's while swapping northern terminals with the and recouple some R160 4 car sets into 5 car sets (this could be done with the R179's as well which is optional) and leaving the rest of the 4 car sets in the eastern division. This is so that the can have extended service and the could use 600' long cars. And with the remaining R32's leave 'em on the and/or ???

I mentioned that cause outside of the line and R179 happenings, the subway is a little bland these days, especially compared to the 90s and 2000s. You could say used three different car classes briefly in the late 2000s when the R40M/40 Slant and R42 all ran on the line at the same time, that is if you consider the R40M and R40 Slant separate car classes, I don't, they were the same from a rider's prospective IMO. As for this thread, I got an R32 train going home The is my favorite line to ride R32s on, Rode it from Midtown to Broadway Junction, loved every minute of it reminds me of riding the red train in my avi on the , and back in the days.

There is no line which could handle 11 car trains, so such is moot, at least for the near-middle term future. I think the Rockaway can handle them due to the ex-LIRR platforms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
