m2fwannabe Posted February 1, 2020 Share #382 Posted February 1, 2020 The R-32s are now down from 184 to 140. These 44 are now retired effective January 30, 2020: 3406/07, 3419/3740, 3426/27, 3428/29, 3436/37, 3445/3468, 3446/47, 3518/3519, 3548/3593, 3586/3587, 3590/3591, 3610/11, 3650/3767, 3660/61, 3728/29, 3730/31, 3770/71, 3818/19, 3822/23, 3872/73, 3876/77, 3896/97. Of the 82 overall, 18 that were retired had operated at East New York. The rest (64) have always been running out of 207 Street. 3410/11, 3454/55 and 3483/85 WERE retired as of January 3 then reactivated. They are still in passenger service as of January 31. It looks like they're going to make it. Round and round she goes, we hope the R32 roulette wheel has stopped. That's the long-rumored number of 80 (actually 82) R-32s retired. Whether that will be enough, the wheel has to be stopped??!!... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good portion of those cars are being stripped for parts. Some of the retired cars should have stayed in service. They always retire the good cars first. 3770/71, 3445/3468, 3610/11, 3522/23 and 3650/3767 were good pairs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently the idea was to dispose of the R-42s and the nth number of R-32s as retired this coming spring. Maybe that idea is now tamer thanks to the R-179s unsteady footing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemorie Posted February 4, 2020 Share #394 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Had to take a little break from the forums and will resume again due to the foaming nonsense that has happen lately last month or the month before, mostly about wanting to revive express service on certain routes...I've started editing Wikipedia recently and hoping to make sure that the sources are reliable as possible. Good to know @Union Tpke guiding me through. As of late, there has been lots of back and fourth edit wars about the R42s being retired or not. I dunno. But then again, the ERA Bulletin is more or less outdated till further notice. Therefore, I came back here to see what I've been missing. Sad to see those selected R32s go. And yes, I'm aware that the 50 R42s have been sidelined yet again following the R179s returning to service after that fiasco. It was crazy. The should not retire any more R32s btw. They will be severely short on cars. Explain later. Edited February 4, 2020 by Jemorie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be severely short on cars. Explain later. ERA Bulletin is "outdated" up to December 15, but things are going so fast with the swaps and R-32/R-42s retirements, the Bulletin will be long to catch up in a very short window. Best next shot is March issue if can catch a little plateau in mid February. Don't know yet. I do not understand why the question if the R-42s are retired. Retired means retired, nothing else. Same with the R-32s. What I heard in mid December was that MTA (ie Guv'nah) wants the works (all R-42s, x of R-32s) removed from the property early spring. Maybe the chief wants to commercial such a promise kept because of the 318 "new" cars have all now arrived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the 222 R-32s had and basically needed a fleet ratio nearly 100% just to keep enough available to meet the requirements on a daily basis, whereas the turnover was just incredible due to age, wear and tear. Plenty of such explanations were made but others disagree. Better by "someone else" to provide the "surplus" parts than the "surplus" complete cars to protect the schedules. And the R-179s are just doing so well anyhow aren't they, too? How is it the R-143s are in a never-ending revolving door too? Look at it this way: in 2008 ENY was overdone at 628 total cars, with every possible track space then jacked but no way the need for every car that was then there. Here its 684 an all NTT fleet in 2020 and the "company" is concerned about a possible chronically shortage . This we call progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
