RR503 Posted April 2, 2018 Share #4128 Posted April 2, 2018 There seemed to be R32s ad infinatum today. Saw at least three sets out and about -- and that was just from Chambers to Bway Jct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted April 2, 2018 Share #4129 Posted April 2, 2018 An R32 broke down on the just now.. saw it stuck between Broadway Junction and Alabama Ave...

KK 6 Ave Local Posted April 3, 2018 Share #4132 Posted April 3, 2018 People are saying they (R32) should go on the , but the MTA wants them on mostly elevated lines like the . I guess if the R211s are not delayed by like 5 years (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) then the recent fleet swaps are the last ones. Then again, 1,612 cars in 2 years with their contract coming out only 3 months ago, and none in building process, the 32's could have 1-2 more fleet swaps, and probably a 60th year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phase I's can bounce back and forth for any number of reasons between 207 and ENY , but Car Desk at each facility keeps track of the official assignments. The last listing I got was for December 2017 and it already had 3426/27 at ENY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can wander back & forth depending on which shop cause is required. 207 is the full service facility of the two. Only the lists from each Car Desk show which R-32's are assigned to which facilities (assuming its up to date). True fleet changes are also accompanied by a "Memorandum of Transfer," signed by superintendence. Point is, cars are "used" on both sides often, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are "assigned" unless the paperwork follows them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 6 Ave Local Posted April 8, 2018 Share #4145 Posted April 8, 2018 They say there are only 2 R32 sets on the but as of late there are way more, because seeing one while riding the other would be rare.

Wikipedia only updates based on official confirmations from actual sources, not from seeing stuff with your eyes and not with photos nor videos either. For example, Joe Korner is a retired employee and he has his own website that indicates the entire subway's rolling stock current assignments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
