JJr142 Posted October 18, 2008 Share #51 Posted October 18, 2008 Until a BMT train damages an IRT platform, i can just picture that. That will scare the S#@t out the people standing on the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJr142 Posted October 18, 2008 Share #53 Posted October 18, 2008 If someones foot get cought on that gap, its over. Having an IRT car running on an IND/BMT is just danger. Unless you are paying attention and get in the car safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted October 18, 2008 Share #54 Posted October 18, 2008 The gap is a little bigger than people give it credit for Not huge, if you're paying attention you can step over it easily but remember you're dealing with the public and their general not being attentive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBuffer Posted October 18, 2008 Share #56 Posted October 18, 2008 The gap is a little bigger than people give it credit for. Not huge, if you're paying attention you can step over it easily but remember you're dealing with the public and their general not being attentive Its debated from some of the guys who worked back in the days (70s with similar SMEE equipment in both divisions) of times when IRT cars were in consists with BMT/IND equipment in service. Nobody worried much about safety back then, it was just whatever made service. To think today you can't even get away with running an R-62 on the . Heh. Remember you heard about that incident in the 70s where an R-10 got coupled to the end of an R-12 by mistake at Concourse and hit the platform at Bedford Pk Blvd, Jerome?

JJr142 Posted October 18, 2008 Share #57 Posted October 18, 2008 I think i did hear about that incident, i have to find that out again, since i forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted October 18, 2008 Share #58 Posted October 18, 2008 I used to hear about that one. But I don't think it was Bedford Pk Blvd, as that is next to the yard, and not after the ramp (unless it was a reverse move. Would have ben funny if they just went down the middle and into their yard). I heard it was heading south, down the middle, and would have either hit Burnside, or was stopped before it got too far.

kawasaki3 Posted October 20, 2008 Share #69 Posted October 20, 2008 why is people taking a big deal of example: R stand for: Rapid Transit Operation141 or Revenue127 or Rail62a this is stupid. make up your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducman998r Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share #70 Posted October 20, 2008 R stands for Revenue... and it doesnt neccessarily mean a train car either... For example the trucks on cars prior to R62s are called R7 and R8. Its the order in which TA purchases equipment. Which is why there are gaps in train revenue numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted October 20, 2008 Share #71 Posted October 20, 2008 It's Revenue but you don't have to spell it out. Just say R32/R38 or what ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS IS STUPID?! honestly, i c no pt in writing da word RAIL out. Idk how u got da idea dat da proper way to call r142s is RAIL142s or watever, but on official documents, in transit nomenclature, transit tlk, forum tlk nd watever else, its known as R142... be it rail, revenue or rapid transit, USE "R", so dat we dun confuse each other. use: R, da 18th letter of da english alphabet. da letter after Q nd da letter before S.

Zman Posted October 20, 2008 Share #75 Posted October 20, 2008 Man, I'm going to be so sad to see those 38's go. There isn't a motorman that I know of who doesn't like those trains. I guess I'll have to bid on a couple C jobs this December so that I can get one last time with a 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
