B41 Posted February 18, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2009 So far, cars 388-391, 393, 395 and 456 are like that and also the have new subway logos. They say Staten Island Railway. I guess the wants all 64 cars to look nice before they are replaced. Recenty, cars 402 and 450 have been moved to the CI shop. Pretty soon, they will be new and fresh too.

bveguy Posted February 18, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 18, 2009 Just so you people know, the SIR's trains are called the R43. If you want proof, look on nycsubway.org and find the R44 renumbering, which i will do for you if you read on lol. http://www.nycsubway.org/cars/r44renumber.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People still call those cars the R11s, just like they call the SIRT R44s... well, R44s, instead of R43s. Interesting information though. This is the first I've heard of this redesignation.

B41 Posted February 19, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 19, 2009 I actually want to ride in the new car. Everytime I try to get one, it's always going the opposite direction I am going. I am tired of riding the dirty R44's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted February 21, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 21, 2009 I got a shot of the SIR with blue seats, repainted end, caught it yesterday #456, weird that its only the first car anyways will load by 12AM for the latest IND/BMT shotz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B41 Posted February 23, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 23, 2009 I guess because only some cars have been refurbished. I recently spotted 391 and 395 just like 456. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted February 24, 2009 Share #19 Posted February 24, 2009 I guess because only some cars have been refurbished. I recently spotted 391 and 395 just like 456. My guess is that they gave them an SMS because the R179 is not yet ordered and even when it is ordered, they have to modify them for railway service (as the SIR is in fact a railway under FRA regulations), so it will take a while for those guys to get down there. So in the meantime, the cars got a little spruce up. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B41 Posted February 24, 2009 Share #20 Posted February 24, 2009 I agree with you. I mean those R179's are not coming anytime soon. The should take 1 R44-SIRT a week and make it new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis1985 Posted February 24, 2009 Share #21 Posted February 24, 2009 i actually had 3 dreams that they placed a set of R68 and R68A's on the (SIR). it looked nice, but i kno that aint gonna happen. same goes for two dreams about seeing an R68A on the .

R44 5278 Posted February 27, 2009 Share #23 Posted February 27, 2009 The regular R44s on the A train needs an SMS more than ever. If not an SMS, then definitely replace only the windows or floors. Scratchitti is still very heavy on 8th Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B41 Posted March 6, 2009 Share #24 Posted March 6, 2009 I finally rode car 456. I was so happy:), but then I discovered that the blue seats just cover the old ones:mad:, if you look under them, you can still see the old seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm.. We're talking about SIR R44's (or R43's) with new flooring, not talking about no damn hippos, please stop bringing them up when no one in the thread is even talking about them. We get it you're a hippo foamer, but don't bring them up in each topic you post in. Not even I bring up Orion VII CNGs in an Orion V related thread and I love the CNGs. If I can stop myself from that then so can you. Anyways I seen this new seating, and I also noticed how they just cover the old seats. Talk about half-assed. I know the is in a budget crisis but dang.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
