Fan Railer Posted April 9, 2018 Share #177 Posted April 9, 2018 Lo-Vs to Woodlawn this month. Presumably the Brighton Parade on Fathers Day Weekend in June. Coney Island Trip with AB Standards / D-Types in July. Rockaway Trip with R9s in August. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak706 Posted June 20, 2018 Share #178 Posted June 20, 2018 Alright, here’s an interesting question: does anything in the museum fleet still have field shunting enabled? I would assume that the museum cars retired after the neutering in the late 90s (Redbirds, R32-R42) didn’t get it put back in, but I am wondering if the R10 and R16 or maybe that R33WF that got retired pre-GOH still have it enabled. If so, would that cause any issues when coupled to other museum cars without it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted June 21, 2018 Share #179 Posted June 21, 2018 There were reports that the AB Standards & D-Type 6112 had problems @ The Parade of Trains. Anybody have more information ? Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were brought in between NY Aquarium and Brighton Beach, I talked to some of the transit workers and they said the brakes were screwed up, but they’re fine, they ran a couple of days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 7, 2018 Share #186 Posted November 7, 2018 The schedule for the Holiday Nostalgia Trips by the Transit Museum have been announced. Trips will operate on Sundays from Nov. 25th - Dec. 30th. Also, for those who've gotten tired of the same route between Queens Plaza and 2 Avenue, you're in luck as this year's trips will operate along Central Park West to 125 Street. Full Details 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the track was open, I can almost guarantee that that would have been the first choice as a northbound terminus for the train this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were up to me and 145 lower middle was a no-go, I would have just gone all the way up to 168 via express and cross over into the yard leads north of the station. It's only an extra 6-8 minute run time or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68OnBroadway Posted November 10, 2018 Share #191 Posted November 10, 2018 I don't mean to open a speculative can of worms here, but why did they only preserve one R44 car which essentially guarantees it will never operate again? Do they plan to preserve a 2 or 4 car R46 in place of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard, this is what the Transit Museum wanted, which makes sense considering the fact that they used it for some Saturday Night Live shoots, some 'still' pictures for the Oral Proficiency Exam for Conductor, and other things. As far as preserving the R46s, let's cross that bridge when we get there. Right now, they're slowly phasing out the R32s and the R42s, and two cars from each set have been already preserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still preserve an SIR R44 and hook it up to the NYCT one (assuming they're mechanically compatible). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're storing trains there since there's a G.O having the Trains using the 145th Street Middle Track for two of those weekends (So Far) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I got this strange feeling that the Transit Museum should plan some special event with the R32's (and maybe the R42's) If I'm not mistaken, the 32's made their debut on the line in 1964. So wouldn't it be nice if they had their last few runs on the or as a special Express route from Astoria-Ditmars Blvd to Coney Island via the Middle track in Queens and the Broadway and Brighton Express tracks. Wouldn't that be nice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
