Tried to snap a pic from a moving train earlier but take a real close look a those trains. Edited August 8, 2018 by jon2305 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted August 8, 2018 Share #102 Posted August 8, 2018 Can't really tell but it looks like the set with 1950 has it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to sure about the 240th yard red ones since there's a few from the 1900s sets that still have them. Units: 1917-1920, 1924 and 1926 may be replaced with the green *1921-3, 5 could be part of it. Too bad it's broken in different areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed. 1966-70 slapped with an emerald green rectangle, no LED lights yet or updated rollsigns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted August 18, 2018 Share #109 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Apparently, the reason they're using the green stickers is because the train are being maintained at East 180th/Unionport. I'm not sure how true this is tho. Edited August 18, 2018 by MTA Bus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you are correct about the rest of the set (1752-1755). Those indeed have all green stickers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted August 22, 2018 Share #111 Posted August 22, 2018 I think they’re getting the green stickers because those R62’s may be assigned to the when the Lexington Avenue Line becomes CBTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening in a long-shot. The thing with the train is that the cars it has are shared with the train. They need R142 and R142A cars to switch the signs quickly at Flatbush Avenue (during weekdays), and having not-NTTs on those two lines will delay service and make operations painful. Put R62 and R62As on BOTH OF THOSE LINES, and you just took us back to the Redbird days. The reason why they are getting green stickers is to denote the cars new assignment to the Lexington Avenue Local-Pelham Local/Express services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the list of green stickers include: R62As (1686-1690)(1701-1705)(1751-1755 Note: 1751 still has only 1 purple left)(1811-1815)(1966-1970)(2006-2010) (2471-2475). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, pointing out that some 5-car sets that were single car units are scrambled with the red /purple stickers. So, the dark green is there to even out the cars in-service at Westchester Yard.

Meanwhile, we're all just roasting here on the trains because the HVAC crapped out again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they de-interline Rogers Junction along with putting in CBTC on Lex, then that would no longer be an issue. Because then the and would both have Flatbush as their southern terminal, instead of the and as now. Yes, there will be people who will object to losing their one-seat ride to the East Side if the is moved off Nostrand. But then we’d have fewer delays at Franklin Avenue and they’d be able to have CBTC-compatible equipment on Lex. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just created another combined strip map. There will never be a pair of lines that share cars but has a single line strip map. That’s why combined strip maps and FIND displays were invented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 25, 2018 Share #125 Posted August 25, 2018 And the problem with that is...? Shifting gears, for those interested, 1811-15 are now eqipped with the Lexington Ave yard markers. The cars also have the refresh upgrades except for the split standee poles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
