GojiMet86 Posted February 10, 2020 Share #26 Posted February 10, 2020 Lol, I don't know why everyone is seriously replying about that school thing. If you got time, you got time. If you're cutting school, then probably you've been cutting school anyway; school wouldn't help now. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the R32 and R42 cars have been around for 50+ years, imagine how long the R143/R160/R179 trains will be around (since they’re way more advanced). I mean it depends on how old you are. I’m in my early 20s so I should still be alive when the R142s and R143s retire. I’ll probably be in my 40s by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they're still running strong. It'll take 25 more years for them to retire, and probably since its the MTA, they'll be retired in 30-40 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgorithmOfTruth Posted February 10, 2020 Share #37 Posted February 10, 2020 I would keep the R42s in storage in the event that there is some unexpected catastrophic failure with the R179s. I think it's a big mistake getting rid of 50 functioning subway cars when your newest equipment is not yet trustworthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the is so long it gives everyone a good chance to see it if you really want to, from anywhere in the city. Oh yes, very much so! When the R160s were being tested on the and lines, I definitely liked riding them over the Flats and over Jamaica Bay. Alas, I live in Whitestone, which is at the opposite end of Queens from where it borders East New York, so I probably won’t be able to get my timing right for transferring from the to the R42 at 42nd St. Though I just might try... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I won't cus Id much rather catch an R32 on the instead of fighting for a window on a single R42. Where I already know foamers would go nuts trying to get their footage on that single RFW window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if they do it now but back when I was in HS we had block schedule - 4 periods a day, 8 classes a year - and senior year spring semester I racked up enough credits I only went to school for half a day.

Shore El Express Posted February 11, 2020 Share #48 Posted February 11, 2020 It says the first run of the train is outbound from Euclid Av at 10:30AM on wednesday. What time will the train physically arrive at Euclid Av beforehand? When will it depart from the yard, and will it run directly to euclid from 207 without stopping? Anybody got any info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
