LTA1992 Posted June 2, 2013 Share #1230 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) This is a modification to the CBTC system on cars currently equipped with CBTC, not an expansion of CBTC to cars that don't have CBTC. There's no need to install CBTC on more cars than are needed on the L. Once CBTC comes to QBL, some more of ENY's R160's will need CBTC installed for use on the M, but that will be a different CBTC system entirely. Reading what I wrote again, In a way......I just said that. Edited June 2, 2013 by LTA1992 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted June 3, 2013 Share #1231 Posted June 3, 2013 What you stated is not actually correct. The R143s did not come with CBTC. They were later retrofitted with it, and it has been upgraded since. The 64 lowest numbered R160s have also been outfitted with CBTC since delivery. What is happening now is another upgrade, which will need to be done on the 212 R143s which have CBTC, as well as the 64 R160s with CBTC. You are correct that SMS is generally done by fleet. However, within each fleet, one shop will generally be worked on, and once that shop's fleet is done, they will move onto the next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtattrain Posted June 3, 2013 Share #1234 Posted June 3, 2013 How long will the 32s stay on the J? Until the summer ends, or until all train R160s are SMSed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted June 3, 2013 Share #1237 Posted June 3, 2013 You would think they would just send the extra cars over there for good, to replace the 42's, for the sake of having one less oddball fleet (and one that's more prone to rust, and the car bodies probably not being in as good shape). This is why there has been talk of this transfer for years. I don't know what has been holding it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted June 3, 2013 Share #1238 Posted June 3, 2013 I already know the numbers are 3452/3,3610,11,3618/19,3621/3644 there's another pair but its hard to tell, saw the first six I saw last night So, it seems that 3 R32 sets (24 cars) are slated to operate temporarily on the ... wonder how this will turn out... and I wonder if more will be transferred... right now from the looks of it its only one set with 4 car spares (12 cars in total) the other 4 need work and need to be inspected and worked on, these R32s will be there for awhile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
