Guest Lance Posted July 28, 2013 Share #1901 Posted July 28, 2013 3650/3767 back at 207th, ENY has 90 R32s and the C has 90 R160R160ss How does 207th have 90 A1s? What, did they get half of a four-car set? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted July 28, 2013 Share #1902 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) AndrewJC has linked the now updated IND/BMT B Division car assignment sheet by the MTA's former worker Joe Korner in the R46 Fleet Life Extension Program thread. The will be half R32 and half R160A-1, 11 more trains of R46 will be added to the while the rest of it is still R160A/160B, the will have MUCH more of the older cars (R32 and R42) than the newer cars (R160A-1). In addition, the northern will run 17 trains (using R46) while the southern one will run 11 trains (using R160B). http://www.thejoekorner.com/carassignments/bmt-ind-2013-08-03.html Edited July 28, 2013 by RollOverMyHead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted July 28, 2013 Share #1908 Posted July 28, 2013 So what was the reason for the R46s on the C last weekend? None this weekend as far as I could tell, I rode two sets of R32s and it felt like nothing'd changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted July 29, 2013 Share #1910 Posted July 29, 2013 No. Most of the R32s were out of service that day due to HVAC issues. There were plenty of spare R46s that backfill for that. At first they had more R160A-1s with a few R32s then most R46s filled in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first they had more R160A-1s with a few R32s then most R46s filled in. Last weekend was the end of a week-long heat wave. It was much cooler this past week, so the R32's have presumably coped much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, their A/C was working fine too. I was very relieved that we finally got some cool air winter-like weather. I cannot tell you how many times I was sweating bullets in my summer school that doesn't have A/C in most classrooms with just fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupojohn Posted July 29, 2013 Share #1913 Posted July 29, 2013 If you really wanna extend the life of the R32's by putting them on an outdoor route, let them be on the Rockaway and Franklin shuttles. I can't think of a regular route that is predominantly outdoors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32sdabest Posted July 29, 2013 Share #1916 Posted July 29, 2013 Explain how that will work with OPTO? Exactly. Why'd you think R46s were sent down to the Rockaways to run on the when they had the chance to do that after Sandy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted July 29, 2013 Share #1917 Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Well I actually did remember that both Far Rock Depot and CDTA said to me months back in this thread that when the R46s were sent down to operate the , they had C/R regardless of the four-car shuttle. Not that I'm saying that the R32s should operate 24/7 on the IND and BMT shuttles respectively without OPTO if their lives were extended even longer as said.

Union Tpke Posted July 30, 2013 Share #1919 Posted July 30, 2013 Actually the MTA was planning to lengthen the train to 10 cars. In the state of the MTA address by Elliot G. Sander it says "In Brooklyn , congestion pricing will create three new bus routes and increase the frequency of service on four routes. trains will run more frequently, and the train will be extended to a 10-car train from an 8-car train.

Sent from my iPod touch using TapatalkWhich causes me to think... Maybe the 4-car sets won't be so inflexible after all. It's probably possible to...never mind. I was thinking of rearranging 4-car sets into 5's. But that won't work because they'll be a bunch of leftover A-cars. So, scratch that idea. But if it gets that serious, the MTA always order some kind of insert 179's to expand the fleet at a later date, like they're doing with the 142/188's; and M8's for that matter.

Sander Resigned as MTA CEO some 4 years ago, and Congestion Pricing was never implemented. I think the address you're referencing is from 2008? The did in fact received increased frequency, but the C was not switched to 10-car. I don't think we can take that address as evidence that there are current plans to make the C 10 cars.
