There’s been a few cars that have been stripped for parts indeed. I’m going to leave y’all with a hint. 3381 doesn’t have rollsigns... carry on. that seems right because the original plan called for only 110 cars to stay until 2022 while the rest get stripped for parts and storage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, there are enough R160s assigned to the QBL. The only chance is if a or train gets rerouted or if an train borrows an R143 from the line (what are the chances of that tho...)

I have trouble telling all the NTT equipment apart. I always assumed M was also just R160 but 4 car consists instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted March 8, 2020 Share #6181 Posted March 8, 2020 Nice to see a side-by-side R32 and R32 yesterday. I know the fleet is down, but at least they're regularly using the remaining cars. Weekend service no less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I counted in total today (There obviously might have been more than I counted) on the : 7 R46 (Including the single train that ran as a shuttle from Brighton to Coney Island due to a GO) 3 R68 (2 in a row even...) 2 R160B I got on one R46 to Brighton, and back on an R68. Feels weird to think that this is the new norm again. Let’s not forget that one R68A that ran yesterday as well! Not sure about the ’s fleet today though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4CNRailfan Posted March 8, 2020 Share #6184 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) My favorite part about the Jamaica/Coney equipment swap is the R68/A running on the frequently. Also, is it just me or are R68/A being used on the more often as well? Edited March 8, 2020 by 4CNRailfan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeeP15-9112 Posted March 8, 2020 Share #6185 Posted March 8, 2020 Is it rare to find a R32 with its builders plate intact? Because on Thursday I was riding R32 3856 on service and it had builders plate (post-GOH). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know about that- the R62s on the would like to have a word with you. And I was the same way about buses when I saw the new Routemasters and Mercedes models in London and the Renault/Irisbus Agora in Paris. And when the Orion V models here and back home in Sacramento were retired. The Orion Vs weren't too bad- better than the RTS, to be quite honest. Next best thing we have left is probably the New Flyer D40LFs, but I digress... I didn’t moan or lose my faculties over any of it. So I’m wondering why that’s happening here - since the R211s are going to be produced, and the R179s are still being delivered - both in the next few years. Is this a NYer thing? Because it seems like these things of metal and electrics are causing a lot of “fights” and snipes. Help me understand? Regarding the last part- it's because some people on these boards nowadays (not you man) think they know everything and everyone else is wrong. The real irony is that a lot of the real experts and/or voices of reason have basically disappeared. But again I digress.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuseguy is Cool Posted March 8, 2020 Share #6194 Posted March 8, 2020 Just drove by and saw only a single R46 parked in the Jamaica Yard amongst numerous R160s. Those of you looking to catch your last clips get em in this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak706 Posted March 9, 2020 Share #6195 Posted March 9, 2020 Saw an R32 heading uptown at 175 St today around 6:25 pm. Bottom roll signs were set between destinations or in one case to “South Terminal” because of the Jay St GO. Only one or two cars actually appeared to have Jay St-Boro Hall destinations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense because it’s , but that doesn’t make sense that there’d be two different CBTC systems on B Division. Honestly, it’d make no sense for the entire Subway to have two different CBTC systems since there’d be two different software management teams to program and service it, and when CBTC A-Division cars are retired, they’d have to put two different software suites and computers on the cars that would become service trains. Not to mention two different training sets for operators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whom ever made up that rumor about the R32’s being down to 80 cars is a tool. The consists listed on the so called retired list are IN SERVICE as I type. I operated in them. 3894/3895 etc! None of the cars shown above are on the retired list, so they should (better) be in service! 3894/95 was pulled off the retirement list as of this Saturday (March 7). 3818/19 are still shown as retired, nor were shown in service through March 6 listings after brief restoration. Is it still active? We'll find out this week. I'd say either 82 or 84 are currently in service, depending...for this day anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
