Especially the East New York ones… The ENY ones are comical every time I see them. I often see a set or two where there's only one newer LED bulb installed at one side, with the other having the regular bulb.....I saw it on some R143s too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted March 2, 2023 Share #7978 Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) When mayor de jackass pretty much cut police funding, ENY R160s started getting hit hard with tagging. The Myrtle cut split didn't help either when they had to store trains on the former northbound side. Before then, The ENY tech train fleet were the cleanest and well maintained pre 2016, they even did a good job on the R32s. They treated the R42s like garbage though.

There are a few sets that have LED bulb replacements and these are much brighter but they aren't replacing the others. They'll replace them when they burn out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they look like "rolling rainbow scraps" they are certainly noticeable by the riders who wouldn't have the same reaction as you, a railfan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 4, 2023 Share #7985 Posted March 4, 2023 It’s almost as if they don’t care what the rail fans want and are more interested with what the average passenger wants… a working train. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure customers don’t like walking into dingy and dim cars in 2023. And I hear it a lot from some pax that the trains are “very very dirty” so yeah… the morale at the TA is VERY VERY Low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABCDEFGJLMNQRSSSWZ Posted April 22, 2023 Share #7989 Posted April 22, 2023 I saw what appeared to be an R160 on the today. Not sure if it was an anamoly or part of a larger car swap (some have said MTA plans to give NTTs back). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That R160 what you saw on the uincy came from the (Romeo) that's a 6:58 AM trip from Bay Ridge-95 St to 96 St/2 Av. When it reaches the last stop at Upper East Side, it programs to a to Coney Island (southbound only at 8:08 AM) so, it can have access to the storage yard to come back as a again for the PM rush to start at 36 At-4 Av to Forest Hills-71 Av. * It's a flip in car assignments because of CBTC on Queens Blvd, used to be a R46 is now an R160.

They would be rotated to their assigned inspection facility when due, but if the train has problems before inspection is due, naturally it has to be swapped out for another train from Livonia. So the #1 Line could get a train from Livonia just inspected "yesterday" and it could go bad the very next day, or it could run great and last right thru its next inspection cycle. This is where MDBF comes from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 4, 2023 Share #7996 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Jamaica Yard has resumed their full amount of 5-car R160s in passenger service. 9108-9112 has returned back in service and has CBTC for Queens Blvd line. Still has the NYS gold and blue but with recent SMS motors. 1,290 cars = 129 10-car trains. : 260 cars (26 trains) + : 460 cars (46 trains) + 310 cars (31 trains) + 65 cars (6 trains but split with a 5-car spare) = 109 cars with a 5-car spare. Spare count: 5-car spare with 19 10-car trains. Edited July 4, 2023 by Calvin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of SMS, 207th has been sloppy with the SMS program for the 240th fleet in terms of appearance, with some cars receiving partial bulkhead repaint jobs (pantograph gates left untouched with no paint, thus still black with tunnel dust) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're giving the full treatment to are the cars that are "head out", that is cars used by the crew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
