mark1447 Posted December 9, 2008 Share #26 Posted December 9, 2008 The slants are on the C. Saw two of them on the C going towards Euclid. The A doesn't have any more R40M/R42 from what I saw. The R38 is now on the A. The slopes are on the Wait Wait Wait WAIT! So does this mean that all the R40/42s from the (A)lan Line is being transfered to the ©hucky train?

It has to be on the , because it is the retirement process. They have to be taken to the deathyard via Dyckman. They are not going to turn trains in and around 168th so that they could go to Dyckman.

MTR Admiralty Posted December 14, 2008 Share #37 Posted December 14, 2008 Turn what? 168 St. can have access to 207 St. Yard. And Dyckman? What do you mean, 207 St. Yard? Yes, but the is more convenient than the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted December 14, 2008 Share #39 Posted December 14, 2008 Well, it won't be like a big problem... LOLz, just put reverse, and forward and turn on-to express and to 207 St. Yard! Not a big problem, ! Yeah but, the reality is, the R38s are now on the , no longer on the . It can't be back simply cause we want it back. It is already done and given its life expectancy, it will not be undone. Based on the track map, technically, a could easily access the deathyard. Given the fact that the will terminate on the same platform as the uptown , it will switch to the uptown track. Similarly, a train heading out of 207th could go on the , it will switch onto the local track south of the 168th Street Station. But, as I said, fact is fact. They are there now.

error46146 Posted December 15, 2008 Share #40 Posted December 15, 2008 wouldn't the A be just as easily able to access the 'death yard' ? the A and C trains share the same equipment from the same yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are already ©'s that lay up in 207th after dropping out normally at 168 after the end of their tour. (Not to mention that the is considered officially assigned to 207th; while the is Pitkin). Besides; many cars waiting disposal are stored at Concourse Yard first (someone's pictures showed a bunch of 32's there, and last year there were CI 42's from the ).

Pelham Bay Dave Posted December 15, 2008 Share #45 Posted December 15, 2008 Just one Currection Pitkin Yd belongs to the Line and 207 YD belongs to the Line. However Pitkin works on the R44's and 207YD works on the R38 so I can see the confusion. I worked 207YD a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding moves, I think they send the trains down the express track to tracks between the expresses and the locals at Homeball Alley (around 135th Street), sit them there, then are taken to the deathyard via the line.
