R32 3838 Posted July 16, 2013 Share #1726 Posted July 16, 2013 Why are they taping over the vents on top of the 32s on the J? 207th did that in may, its to prevent dust from getting inside the HVAC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe C Posted July 16, 2013 Share #1727 Posted July 16, 2013 So no chance of any remaining stored R-42s coming back? If there isn't what a waste and a shame. Are there ten left or are they done? On the other hand, mtattrain sparked something to me, any remaining r44's on property? Any chance of any action with them? According to the roster thingy on nycsubway.org a few hand fills of them are still left. Those R42 cars that are retired aren't coming back,same with the R44's.it's not a waste if they had to be replaced,nothing lasts forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted July 17, 2013 Share #1728 Posted July 17, 2013 Those R42s could be saved. But it will be costly. The R44s on the other hand are really not OK for service anymore, the exception being the R44s on SIR which are doing just fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmaybeokay Posted July 17, 2013 Share #1735 Posted July 17, 2013 the still has about 4-5 sets they didn't do the swap for more cars last weekend, its planned for this weekend, but when ENY gets more R32s its possible that 1-2 will pop up on the I was under the impression that this wasn't going to happen because the R32 rollsign doesn't have an orange bullet. I mean, I'm sure they could just use printouts like they did on the line when it terminated at Rector, but still. It's been a while since I've seen R32s on QBL. Very True - in revenue service at least... I've seen them pulling garbage trains a few times. The is my daily jam. Hope I get to ride one, mostly just to see the looks on peoples faces wondering what the hell this thing is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted July 17, 2013 Share #1737 Posted July 17, 2013 well they gave the M C/Rs station by station sheets so its possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted July 17, 2013 Share #1738 Posted July 17, 2013 If they are committed to zoning the R32s in a 5-3 pattern, it can't happen. Don't have the C/R boards in place for such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they may have to rezone it, trust me I don't think its a good idea but if they're taking more R160sto the then they'll have no choice, they gave line conductors statation cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtattrain Posted July 18, 2013 Share #1745 Posted July 18, 2013 Nice to see R32s possibly returning on the QBL and 6th ave... the last train left 3 years ago when that R32 stopped running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted July 18, 2013 Share #1746 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I remember when they had R40 slants, R40 modifieds and R42s on the , , , and lines in around mid-2008 through mid-2009 while the R160s were being delivered. I know this from seeing the senior moderator Cait Sith's videos in those times. I wish I started railfanning during those days.

S78 via Hylan Posted July 18, 2013 Share #1747 Posted July 18, 2013 ^^ To add, I actually remember catching the R40M/R42 pair 4460-4665 on the back when I was in high school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted July 18, 2013 Share #1748 Posted July 18, 2013 I know this from seeing the senior moderator Cait Sith's videos in those times. Good point, Senior Member! The Slants were something to be reckoned with, by far my favorite fleet of cars we've ever had. R38s in second, but the Slants were quick, good-looking, and had the greatest railfan window (especially from when I was only a little kid and the windows on the Redbirds were too high for me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
