R32 3838 Posted January 26, 2012 Share #176 Posted January 26, 2012 The latest thing I am heaing is that they will NOT repaint the interiors of the cars because they want to save as much money as possible. Also, it seems that the first few cars are close to being done. With new windows and clean trucks, these cars look great. damn, I was looking forward to the repainted interiors, i don't know why they want to be so cheap, 3806/7 and 3840/1 needs interior work badly, but I'm glad they are getting the work they need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that cars that need interior work will get the work done, but they will save money by only doing the work on cars that need it done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob60 Posted January 26, 2012 Share #179 Posted January 26, 2012 One pair survives. 3594-3595 at Floyd Bennet Field. The R32GEs were the most unique cars I've ever layed eyes on. It sad they didn't continue service, but it is what it is. I am just curious - what was so unique about the R32GE's. I have been a regular E train rider for years so I know the R32's quite well from the days when only R32's ran on the E line. Jam yard had about 400 R32's in its heyday so I am sure I have ridden the R32GE's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted January 26, 2012 Share #180 Posted January 26, 2012 The interiors were done like the R38's, with the indirect lighting, and the handbars. Sort of like a partial revival of the R32a division (which most of them actually were). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted January 26, 2012 Share #181 Posted January 26, 2012 And the fronts were almost similar to the R38s as well. Other than the sides, they could've been mistaken as R38s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted January 28, 2012 Share #184 Posted January 28, 2012 Well, at least there's youtube But yeah, it'll be a sad day when the last R32 goes. the system is boring already now that it's basically the 75' cars and R160s dominating things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Rider Posted February 7, 2012 Share #188 Posted February 7, 2012 I always liked the R/32's since the cars arrived in 1964 when I was in high school. I was sad as these cars replaced the great BMT Standards and the Triplexes on the Southern Division. Once I started rding them, I found the cars were fast and dependable, no matter what line I was riding. I rode them later on the Brighton Line and I always knew no matter what time it was it was 38 minutes from Sheepshead Bay to 34th Street. The once in a while run on the N or the Q over the years always was appreciated along with the early morning R from 59th Street to 86th Street. Now I ride the cars whenever I am on 8th Avenue and while the sounds are different, to me they will always be the R/32's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted February 7, 2012 Share #189 Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for pointing out the hissing brakes because it wasn't till just now when I thought about it, that I realised I haven't heard it in years. Wow I miss that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted February 7, 2012 Share #190 Posted February 7, 2012 I wish the R32's were on the again I wish too, But THATS NEVER going to happen again, you will mainly see these cars on the with a cameo appearance on the , But that can all change if anything I miss riding these on the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted February 9, 2012 Share #194 Posted February 9, 2012 I don't. I wish they were retired already. It's 2012! I sort of agree here. I like the R32s and the old cars, but its not about what we want, its about making the riders feel happy and safe.. Plus so all these railfans can stop fighting over old vs new already. << This gets annoying! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people over-glorify/worship them like it was the best thing invented since sliced bread. I'm not gonna lie, at 1 point I did like them, but then everyone started talking, and talking, and talking about them to the point where I say scrap them all. end rant lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted February 9, 2012 Share #197 Posted February 9, 2012 R32s don't suck, they're pieces of history. The NTTs are just better, a lot better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m7zanr160s Posted February 9, 2012 Share #199 Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Even if they were you would still have old cars on the (A)/©. The R44s when they retired were already 39 years old. Had the R32s and R42s been retired the R44s would be in service until 2017 or even longer looking at the situation of the R179s. So it really doesn't matter what circumstances took place you would still have old trains on those two lines regardless. I don't have problem with old cars, I just have a problem with really old cars that are still in the system, years past their 40-year life span. They're way out-dated; brand new full-length NTT's are in order. Edited February 9, 2012 by m7zanr160s punctuation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
