trainspot12 Posted November 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2008 I don't know if it was already posted, but I keep on hearing that they will start running R40/42 on the line starting tomorrow and that the 38s will be retired by the Spring. Is this true or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexpress Posted November 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2008 The R38 will retire in the spring of 2009. Yes the R40/R40M/R42 will run on the but I don't know when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted November 29, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 29, 2008 I don't know if it was already posted, but I keep on hearing that they will start running R40/42 on the line starting tomorrow and that the 38s will be retired by the Spring. Is this true or not? Right now the fleet composition for the remain the same, all R38s. They MIGHT start to use mods and 42s beginning 1 December. I will check every weekday when I am on the afternoons. This needs to be confirmed though. Yes the R38s will be retired by Spring 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted November 29, 2008 Share #4 Posted November 29, 2008 I don't know if it was already posted, but I keep on hearing that they will start running R40/42 on the line starting tomorrow and that the 38s will be retired by the Spring. Is this true or not? The is supposedly going to see R40s and R42s running on the line, and what I heard was that it was suppose to start at least a week ago or during this past week. I don't know if tomorrow is definite, but those R40s and R42s are coming at ya on the sooner or later. As for the R38s, yes, they've started to retire them. As of last week, or maybe two weeks ago, 10 were retired, numbers I don't know. As for right now, I don't know how many more were retired, I have to find out. Lord knows when they'll finish retiring them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainspot12 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share #17 Posted December 8, 2008 Its good to see the 40s on the line. It seems like the 42s, 40slants and 38s are on the line. I'll take some pictures, but how do you place them onto the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted December 8, 2008 Share #18 Posted December 8, 2008 It's official. I saw a R40/R42 set running on the C today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princelex Posted December 8, 2008 Share #19 Posted December 8, 2008 It's so weird to see R40's and R42's on the C. I just hope they keep a couple of slants on the A so I can ride it over the Rockaways. It's also good that they have R38's back on the A again. This is a wild time in the subways, that's for sure.
