The R-44 is good too. I like the barriers they have near the doors. Keeps from people crowding into your face with their bags or ass when the A train is full.

Please someone shed some light... New tech cars can't run in the rockaways due to power issues because LIPA provides the power out there, so that eliminates them from running trains to Far Rock AND Rock Park/Beach 116. They also don't like to run them out there b/c of the salt water exposure; it can age a car's metal parts faster. Also, 207 yard is the dead line, so typically the and particularly the is where cars will spend their last days because they can run the cars right into the ground then get them to the yard and into the ocean they go. Completely unlike taking a car from ENY, running it into the ground, and then making a complicated mass move to 207 that affects a number of Manhattan trunk lines.

Zman Posted October 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 18, 2008 Yeah, they can run the train into the ground, drag it to the North Channel Bridge, then tip it into the drink. Here fishy fishy fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you haven't been riding the subway for long. Until about nine months ago, the overhauled 38's continuously ran on the A for nearly 20 years.

RokuSix Posted October 18, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 18, 2008 I'd say it's because the is too much. It's too long and too varied to have a single set of new cars. It's best for it to have its variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr142 Posted October 18, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 18, 2008 The R68's wouldent sound so bad running on the . What can be done is take out the remaining sets of R68's on the so the can be all R160's, get the R42's out of the so the line can be R44's and R68's. What you guys think?.

I've been riding the NYC Subway for a VERY long time. Been riding them pretty for 10+ years. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
