R32's won't be displaced (Read: S-C-R-A-P-P-E-D) until the R211's come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted May 27, 2019 Share #4677 Posted May 27, 2019 Where are you going to displace the R32's, the shutdown is no more so the doesn't need em no more. It's logical to keep them on the since the still needs alot of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2fwannabe Posted June 22, 2019 Share #4679 Posted June 22, 2019 Looks like we have 8 more R-46's at Jamaica as of June 17: 5854-5861. There was a short lag after 3248-57 entered service as 5854-7 were then in the repair shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2fwannabe Posted July 8, 2019 Share #4680 Posted July 8, 2019 Some time in June (or or about June 10), 20 Phase I R-32's were shifted from 207 Street to Pitkin and run on the : 3394/95 3400/01 3410/11 3442/43 3446/47 3472/73 3484/85 3500/01 3512/13 3586/87 As of July 6, they are still there. That reduces the 207 Street portion to 202. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The (C)'s R46's come from pitkin, it'll be the same with the R32's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted July 9, 2019 Share #4682 Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) One of the crew members or a “railfan” keeps signing up R32 C trains as Diamond C trains, which reads: “Concourse-8 Av/Fulton” 😑 Edited July 9, 2019 by VIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should take care of that issue. Hopefully some railfan isn't in possession of the keys needed to change rollsigns.

R32 3838 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #4685 Posted July 10, 2019 If they are sending half the R32 fleet to pitkin, it looks like the 33,34,35 and some 3600's would be at pitkin and the other half of the 3600's,37,38,3900's and mixed mated cars would be at 207th from the list of cars that were moved. Notice they were 33,34/3500's. Pitkin does a better job than 207th, before Jamaica f**ked up the phase 1's. Pitkin took good care of those cars from GOH to 2008. That's why when they returned to 207th they never were the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why when they returned to 207th they never were the same. The 33xx-36xx series is coincidental I believe. And yes Jamaica trashed up the R32’s. East New York and Pitkin were the only two yards to maintain those cars. Coney Island without a doubt took care of their R32’s when they had them years ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted July 10, 2019 Share #4687 Posted July 10, 2019 All this business about some R32's being transferred from 207 to Pitkin means they will be inspected at Pitkin instead of 207. However there will be no impact on them operating on either the A or C lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 11, 2019 Share #4688 Posted July 11, 2019 There was up to three sets of 42s in service during the PM Rush today.. I believe it's usually only two at most in service during the rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These trains filling in are in two possibilities: R179s still having problems to be inspected and some R160s are being deep-washed.

There were quite a few station overruns on the recently even today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 11, 2019 Share #4693 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) All NTT car classes so far have had trouble stopping in the rain at some point😁 No surprise the 179s do, I wonder if they ever found a "fix" for this issue on the older NTT car classes.

bwwnyc123 Posted August 3, 2019 Share #4700 Posted August 3, 2019 R32s are supposed to have been retired already and we are still waiting for more NTTs to replace them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
