R32 3838 Posted January 15, 2019 Share #51 Posted January 15, 2019 Some people don't understand these words: SUBJECT TO CHANGE The reason why the R42's didn't get moved yet because the R179's started having major issues again. A lot of them are out of service. If the R179 issues hadn't happen, the R42's would have been moved by now and we would have fount out where they went.

R32 3838 Posted January 15, 2019 Share #52 Posted January 15, 2019 Let's put it this way If shutdown happens, we will find today if the mta board votes. All plans will still go on R42 to the 100-102 R32's for the 8 car R160's for the If the shutdown doesn't happen R42's to the but wouldn't count on it, knowing ta they'll scrap em, could easily put 50 R32's instead or just transfer 40 more R46's. will still go 8 cars but it's likely it would only be NTT'S since it won't see a headway increase and they wouldn't need the R32's. (The G being lengthed was confirmed by NYCT president byford) If the shutdown does happen then yea you'll see 150 Smees at CIY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most these assignments make no sense. Even though the MTA does make stupid decisions 9 times out of 10, doesn’t mean I expect anyone on here’s theory as to how operation will facilitate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank Lemme point you in the right direction — you seem to be having some trouble navigating the forum... I posted a bunch in the topic created after the call to cancel. Start here, read on. For whatever it’s worth, my friend, there’s quite the difference between saying “the shutdown is off” and “I think it’s good that the shutdown is off.” The former is a statement of fact — and is what I said — and the latter is an expression of happiness towards that fact — or not what I said.

R32 3838 Posted January 21, 2019 Share #61 Posted January 21, 2019 He's just mad because his exclusives isn't happening. It's unknown what's going to happen at this point. The only this that's going to be different is the going 8 cars and increased service according to byford. The is still going full length. The might still have a possibility of getting R32's if there isn't enough 8 car R160's to run on the (G). The only difference is that the is likely to keep it's current headway. The should be 100% R46, especially if CI is getting R46's from Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been the plan Do the math If the shutdown had happened The was going to run every 3-4 mins The and was going to see service increases Meaning more 8 car trains are required. Even with all the 8 car R179 in service, there would still need to be an increase of R160A-1's for future CBTC on queens blvd. The remaining would go to the to form 8 car trains. There wouldn't be enough R160's to cover the (G). Hence half the R32 fleet would go to CI to supplement the line. Now that the shutdown isn't happening The might not even need the R32's, the is still going 8 cars. If there's enough tech trains then there wouldn't be a need for R32's. This was confirmed by numerous sources but as we all know plans change.

Q Broadway Express Posted January 22, 2019 Share #66 Posted January 22, 2019 So, are the R32 Brightliners returning to the and are there any R38s in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgorithmOfTruth Posted January 22, 2019 Share #67 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) As it stands, we don't know where the R32s will be in the future. All we know now is that they are used on the / lines and are stored at the 207th Street Yard. The only existing R38s (2 in total) are used for special transit excursions and are part of a train of mixed cars known as the "Train of Many Metals." You will not be seeing a full 8 or 10-car set of R38s in daily revenue service on any line ever again, as they were officially retired, scrapped, and reefed over 10 years ago.

There is plenty of R160A-1 (8 Cars) because the and are getting R179s which displaces R160 trains to the line. The is most likely to get 10 cars. R32, R160, R68/A will be the for swaps. I also agree with you for extra service, because Fresh Pond and ENY can get more R160s for , , , and from the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
