Bracamonte Posted February 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2009 The R142A was originally designed to be linked in 5-car sets. Many people think they cannot make 11-car set. Well I found something to show that they can. This picture was taken in October 2003. http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?93088 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted February 26, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 26, 2009 I think the first 6 cars are R62A's while the last 5 are 142As.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted February 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2009 this photo does not prove R142/R142As can run in six-car sets. for all we know, that last car might be a single one intentionally coupled to the full train set. you cannot trust anything in a railyard because workers tend to fiddle around with the cars for reasons i do not know. if i recall, i remember seeing an R68 coupled to an R40 at the Coney Island Rail yard a while back.

Bracamonte Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted February 26, 2009 If you actually like at that pic, its only 10 cars not 11. Can't you count? There are 11 cars. Look carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted February 26, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 26, 2009 oh here we go again with this crap. back in 03, the MTA tested both R142 and R142A sets on the in 11 car sets. but they determined that there were third rail problems that rendered both types of stock inoperable on the line. this problem has since been remedied, but R142/A's wont run on the line again until there is CBTC on the line, and it will be in the form of up-converted R188s.

Fan Railer Posted February 26, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 26, 2009 EUREKA! now i've figured it out... the entire set has to be R142A because if you look at the R62A set on the left, the roof has motor blower intakes, somethink that the millenium stock lacks.
