Kexpress Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share #76 Posted December 4, 2008 I would get the falling apart ones off the operating fleet first, even if it is very young, like 30 years old... I don't care about age. I care about safety and reliability of the cars, again not the age... This is my take: 1st to retire: R-38. 2nd: R-40 (not-slanted). 3rd: R-42. 4th: R-40 (slanted). 5th: R-32... I will have to disagree with you Awwang. Here my list which subway car should retire 1st to retire:R32 2nd:R38 3rd: R40 slant 4th: R40M 5th:R42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexpress Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share #77 Posted December 4, 2008 Hold on, wait. So let's say that the R32s are 50 years old. And the R38s are 40. Hypothetically, since obviously these are not the real ages of the cars. Let's also say that the R32s are in better running condition than the R38s, which are practically falling apart. Again, hypothetically, i.e. for this example only. Would you want to retire the decade-older R32 first, even if it runs better than a "newer" car? Or would you want to get the liability out of the way first? R32 are also in bad shape and falling apart also. Yes I would want the R32 to retire first. The R32 is the oldest and it needs to go and just because the body is made of steel doesn't mean it was last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBuffer Posted December 4, 2008 Share #78 Posted December 4, 2008 1) It does make sence.2) I think what I think 3)The codition can be input if they want to. 1) It doesn't make sense if they're better suited to remain in service over the others, despite a few year age difference. 2) Yes, you can think whatever you would like, even say that the R-143s should go first, but I might inquire as to why you think that. 3) Okay, and they seem to be doing that to some extent. The Coney Island overhauled R-42s have been gone for a while now even though they're newer than some of the other SMEEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R32 is also in poor codition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R32 is also in poor codition. 1) By the very fact that the CI R-42s retired before them, I guess not. 3) They're ALL on they're way out. There's plenty of rust on the roofs of the R-42s, as well as the "duck-tape" steel adhesive on the R-40s. Many slants are also wet with just a few left. I guess that was a mistake since they're newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R32 GE retired first also. 3)The R32 also has rusty roofs and duck tape and its not in great shape. Yes the R38,R40,R40M,R42 has rusty roof and duck tape and they not in great shape but also the R32 has duck tape and its not in great shape ethier.

7LineFan Posted December 4, 2008 Share #83 Posted December 4, 2008 R32 are also in bad shape and falling apart also. Yes I would want the R32 to retire first. The R32 is the oldest and it needs to go and just because the body is made of steel doesn't mean it was last long. You didn't answer the question I asked. In that hypothetical situation, which would you retire first? The older car or the car that is falling apart? Just because it is the oldest doesn't mean it needs to go first. The R32's bodies were only designed for 35 years of service, yet here they go, chugging away after 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kexpress Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share #86 Posted December 4, 2008 Yes, and the R-32, I can bet it can run for another 6-7 years with like conditions... It will not last 6-7 years just because the body is made out of steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the r32 need to go first because its in bad shape and it the oldest and it needs to retire first. The orinigal R32 was designed for 35 years of service but it was rebuilt bwteen 1987 to 1989 that why it ran 44 years but it time for them to retire. In 2009 the r38,R40,R40M and R42 will retire.
