Indeed. 5894-5897 and 6186-6189 may be the reason for 2768-2771 and 2772-2775 being transferred from Coney Island Yard to Concourse Yard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted March 20 Share #254 Posted March 20 I told people this was going to happen as CI and concourse need spares before retirement starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacster Posted March 21 Author Share #256 Posted March 21 How many more R68s will go back to Concourse? There will be plenty of R46s to replace them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't 402 the car that hit and pushed the bumper block toward the drink at Tottenville some years ago? If so, that car is off the property to my knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacster Posted March 23 Author Share #264 Posted March 23 Are the Pitkin cars in any better shape than the CI cars? Or are they equally bad. Are they any different, or are they all completely the same and it was just the assignment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they do plan to expand the line there will be plenty of lead time. I was thinking that if these are the cars they're going to buy for the next few decades or so, they could add another 10-20 for a few extra trains if service necessitates it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacster Posted March 25 Author Share #275 Posted March 25 I was at the upper level of W4th St today and a couple of R46 trains came through, one an A the other a C, and they really are in rough condition even compared to the CI ones that I regularly ride. If an R211T C train happened to come I was going to take it, but I wasn't going to wait around for it so I just went and did my regular business. My Q train home was an R46 and didn't pay much attention otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
