The riders have been dealing with them all these years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted March 1, 2020 Share #5989 Posted March 1, 2020 the R46s are departing jamaica very fast. only 10.4 sets of R46s are left at jamaica (for service) numbers are: 5498-5501, 5506-5517, 5526-5529, 5570-5577, 5606-5613, 5618-5625, 5630-33, 5638-41, 5694-5697, 5702-5705, 5750-5757, 5798-5805, 5818-5829, 5834-5837, 5858-5861 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted March 1, 2020 Share #5990 Posted March 1, 2020 Wow Coney Island is already starting to show some of the R46’s. There was a set on the not too long ago that really shined. So it looks like some R46’s are finally getting a bath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwnyc123 Posted March 1, 2020 Share #5992 Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) will miss the using R160 and get R46 as the replacements and will experience more dwells at stations, delays and slower runtime. Coney Island Yard will make the exterior look super clean when they go through the wash. are taking R160 and saying get these R46 away from us we are tired of using them right and , briefly use them before. Meanwhile are glad to still use R46 and some R179. Just like and took R142A from and got R62A. Queens Yard are taking the New Tech Cars.

Glad to hear about that, because Lord knows the prima donnas at Jamaica Yard were treating them like crap for years. Now, let’s just see some more of those side destination signs get fixed and we’re good. 9 minutes ago, Railfanner Mario said: So if so are all the Siemens sets leaving CIY or will there be leftovers? I’m pretty sure there will be leftovers. While all of CIY’s Alstom sets weren’t enough to make up for the loss of the R46s, I would think they don’t need all of the Siemens sets to make up for them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 10 R46 8-car trains left in Jamaica and 20 Siemens R160Bs in Coney Island. If all these cars are switched out; then the spare factor outside Jamaica will be too low Edited March 1, 2020 by darkstar8983 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaica can’t have any R46s left when Queens Blvd CBTC goes live, so those 10 R46 trains (80 cars) will be departing for Brooklyn pretty soon with 100 more Siemens R160s taking their place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
