VIP Posted May 21, 2019 Share #4651 Posted May 21, 2019 21 hours ago, AlgorithmOfTruth said: The personnel at certain yards don't preform a lasting job on their fleets. When it comes to the A Division, Jerome Yard is known for keeping their equipment clean and in optimal-working condition. Their R142s/R142A's are shiny clean and are taken seriously from a maintenance standpoint. You are incorrect sir, it’s Corona who’s got the clean record for maintenance and inspections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2fwannabe Posted May 24, 2019 Share #4653 Posted May 24, 2019 Something new to watch for: As R-179's 3238-3247 entered service yesterday (May 22), R-46's 5846-5853 were shifted from Pitkin to Jamaica . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there more R160s that need to have CBTC equipment installed? This could make up for more sets that need to go out of service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is just to increase the spare factor or to move an R160 to CI yard to push out an R68 back to concourse that they lost in 2016. My guess is the 2nd part. I think most of the R160's been upgraded to cbtc. But I knew the R32's weren't leaving 207th. Edited May 24, 2019 by R32 3838 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hardware maybe but fully operational, no. CBTC system configuration is still evolving and will probably take many more year before fully complete. They still can't get the to behave properly on full auto-pilot. It COULD explain import of the train from 207, however. Looking into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woid is there will be six trains moving to Jamaica as new R-179's are accepted for . If so, that would be 5846-5893. Let's see how it plays out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwnyc123 Posted May 24, 2019 Share #4658 Posted May 24, 2019 Those R46s return home to Jamaica I remember before when never used R46 and were only using R44, R38, R32, R40s, R42. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Corona Yard has the youngest fleet in the entire A Division. It's obvious that their equipment will appear cleaner... Not only that, but those subway cars don't see the same kind of mileage as the R142s/R142A's used on the , so they will wear and tear at a slower rate... Even when the had R62A's, there was nothing special about them so pipe down...

Take your own advice and pipe down, unless you work for RTO or in COR yd, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Especially that “youngest fleet” ridiculous observation. The runs tighter headways and see way more ridership than the and . You forgot that corona has Hand me down R142A’s that were massacred by Westchester Yd. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R62A's that were on the preformed alot better than the ones on the (1). Also when the converted sets started coming in in droves. They ran like dogshit. Corona fixed them up and now they run alot better. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't agree with my initial post you could've ignored it and moved on, but no, you had to choose the low road and bicker about it. Next time don't bother responding to anyone you're in disagreement with if you're going to go infant on them. The maturity level of some on here is pathetic...

trainfan22 Posted May 24, 2019 Share #4668 Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Those 142As that went to the have mechanical upgrades that the line units have yet to receive, that's mainly why the converted sets MDBF is much higher.
