CDTA Posted December 20, 2012 Share #976 Posted December 20, 2012 I'll probably stalk the saturday night just to be safe. They run all day right? Do the R42's even run on the weekends? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted December 20, 2012 Share #978 Posted December 20, 2012 4 R46s have been sent, its a 4 for 4 swap, so 4 R46s will replace 4 R32s a day until all 20 cars are there and replaced 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted December 20, 2012 Share #980 Posted December 20, 2012 So that means all the R32's will be gone in service saturday? What? No. They're not sending all the cars at once, so a few cars at a time the R32s are going to be swapped for R46s. Once all those cars have been sent, the R32s return to the C and those R42s return to ENY. If I've got the timetable right, the swap should be complete by Monday-Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted December 22, 2012 Share #981 Posted December 22, 2012 one train of R46s ran on the today, that will increase to 2 sets tomorrow, meaning the last day of the 32s is mostlikey tomorrow, it could be today, so far no A-A R46s were sent (very dumb), by sunday the will be 100% R46s, today might be the last day for the R42 as well since they dont need it after today, 5858 was the head car of the R46 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted December 23, 2012 Share #984 Posted December 23, 2012 :Shrugs: having never been down there after the storm hit, are those trains packed? I guess the idea about the aa two car sets would be to allow for extra spares in the area without the need to get another train from the mainline, but if they need the 4 car trains there, then so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted January 18, 2013 Share #985 Posted January 18, 2013 4 R32's were moved from ENY last week to CIY, (mostlikely SMS), 3370/1 and 3786/7, 3370/1 was on the last wendsday (it was in a train of recently SMS'ed Cars) so 3786/7 are still at CI ether getting an SMS or just there for the time being while 3370/71 is at 207th so this up the R32 Fleet from 222 to 224 cars, the other 4 cars are still at ENY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted January 18, 2013 Share #986 Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the information, man. Will you look at that, the still holds 240/600 remaining R32s (222 in passenger service, 10 in work service, and 8 at East New York). Good to hear that those 4/8 R32s from East New York were in service a few days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that those 4/8 R32s from East New York were in service a few days ago. to be honest 207th don't need em, they have more than enough, my guess is that they want to finish up the SMS, and one pair of the 4 cars are still at CI, these were supposed to be for work service but i guess they changed their minds and only a pair was in service (the worst one at that) 3370/71 always had been stored, even when it was at jamaica that pair wasn't used as much Edited January 18, 2013 by R32 3838 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted January 25, 2013 Share #991 Posted January 25, 2013 I can't believe they got those 32's at ENY working again. I was on one set a couple weeks ago and they were a MESS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted January 27, 2013 Share #992 Posted January 27, 2013 3726/7 is roaming around with the posters still up (and the sign that still says B 90 St -to- Mott Av). Any word at all that the swap is happening this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted January 27, 2013 Share #994 Posted January 27, 2013 Any word at all that the swap is happening this year? Nah and too early to know. We just gotta wait till Summer gets here or at least late Spring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted January 27, 2013 Share #995 Posted January 27, 2013 Nah and too early to know. We just gotta wait till Summer gets here or at least late Spring. Exactly. Remember why the swaps were happening in the first place. If the SMS is a success and timely, the swap wont be needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted January 27, 2013 Share #996 Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah, the reason for the repair of the HVAC system with the R32s is so they remain on the for the rest of their lives and to avoid lowering the spare factor for the R42s and Jamaica's R46s. I can see why they wanted to bring the R46s to the for One Person Train Operation and to save money. Of course to me, seeing the with the 60 footers (R32/38/40/42) than the more common R44/46s make a nice change at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before i moved, the 46s were sent down to Rockaway and guess what, they had C/Rs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there around New Years aswell and they had C/R's... Although I did see someone getting trained down there, not sure if that has anything to do with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted January 28, 2013 Share #999 Posted January 28, 2013 Alot of things are gonna change regarding the 2 car classes very soon, plus on a side note I don't think the R32's will be on the this summer since the rockaways will not open until mid summer and it would be pointless to do a swap with only the (A)'s going to howard beach and Lefferts (last summer most of them went to lefferts waste of time) but we will see what happens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted February 8, 2013 Share #1000 Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Is it just me or has the R32s' motor system been upgraded due to SMS? Ugh...I miss the older propulsion system. Nowdays, they sound just like the R68s and the R62As whenever they blast at full 30-35 or 40-45 MPH into a station! Bah......Oh well...
