Side note; 3890 has a stuck or broken rollsign signed up as anyway, so I guess it’s where it should be. 😜 Edited December 20, 2017 by VIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted December 20, 2017 Share #3953 Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) I'm surprised they didn't put the 32 trains on the Rock Park rush hour specials, they would only run during rush hour and that would eat up 4 to 5 sets. When the R42s last ran on the in the summer of 2010 or 11, all of them were on the Rock Park specials.

The R42s only ran during the 2011 and 2012 summers on the Line (Not counting 2008-2009 period during the R160 delivery) and not all of the Rockaway Park Specials were R42s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the people overthere complained because they like the seating arrangement on the R46's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can’t be true. The seating is atrocious on those cars and very confrontational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s adequate seating on R32’s. 50 seats to be exact. I get the R42 has 44 seats but bench seats are much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what train car's run on the , it won't change the our long commutes, or our ability to sit down at the start of the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted December 23, 2017 Share #3970 Posted December 23, 2017 I rode the from Broadway Jct to Eessex just now, for the first time in quite some time I seen not one 32 on the line, a seen a bunch of 160s, two sets of 42s and even the 179, but no 32s. Even if I ride a short distance on the I always see a couple of sets in service, there's definitely a reduced amount of 32s on the (J). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too and I usually ride the from Sutphin Blvd to Norwood Avenue every weekday (except when there's no school) I would only see like only a few R32 sets on the and I've NEVER seen an NTT parked on the 111 St relay track 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked for them to go to the because it's a weekday-only line but now we understand why that's not happen, seeing they won't fix the Montague Street Tunnel's clearance thingy. If they end up staying on the (A), they should not run them all the time and instead reduce them to fewer roundtrips per day. Hopefully they'll do the same with the R46s once the R211s take over the line years later, especially given that the R46s has had a history of problems over the course of their lifespan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems almost a norm for most old train division B cars to be having their last years or last run entirely on the , R40's, R38 and R44 for NYCTA most famously. It's above ground, but also very long underground as well, I would've loved to see the R32's continue on the and not undergo fleet swapping, they spent most of their years on that line and made it awesome to ride for me especially with the lines influx of R160's. I wish they would add R160's or at least more R179's on the as they would even out and modernize a line that has always relied on such old trains especially now with this R32 fleet swap. I also hope some R32's will go on the Franklin and Rockaway Park as both are above ground mostly and short routes that can be prioritized for non rush hour, im sure they might but we'll have to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't run on the Rock Park Shuttle outside of summer weekends for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
