R32 Anthony Posted February 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2009 As you all know by now, I am sad to see the R32's, R38's, R40's and R42's retiring. This is my prediction of what cars would be on what lines after the last classic car is retired. R44 ( R68 R68 R68, R160 R46, R160 R46, R160 R46 R160 R143, R160 R143, R160 R160 R160 R46, R188 R44 on the Rockaway Park Shuttle, R68 on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle R46 R68 R160 Almost all of you will say, " hey Anthony, these cars are already on these lines!" True, but I am painting the picture after we bid farewell to the last of the classic trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlushingExpress Posted February 27, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2009 this is what it should look like after all R32s-R42s retire: : R44s, R46s, and perhaps some R68/68As (: R68/68As : same as except without R44s : R68s : R160s : R160s and some R46s : R68/68As : R160As : R160As and R143s : R160As : R160s : R160s : R46s : R46s : R160s this makes more sense since Coney Island and Jamaica and the two yards that will be getting the five-car R160s, its R46s and R68/68As will be moved to Pitkin and 207th Street to replace any outdated cars still on the . obviously, four-car R160As are going to East New York to replace the few remaining R42s there. the is set to have its cars maintained at Coney Island, so it will most likely get R68/68As since i highly doubt it will get R160s, considering how the MTA treats that line.

MTR Admiralty Posted February 27, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 27, 2009 Well... before one can speculate, one must consider the following: -how many trains are in used on these lines -which yard is getting R160s? -which yard will be getting the remaining R160 orders? -possible scenarios (for example: Coney Island getting all 5 car Alstom, Kawasaki Opt 2? Jamaica getting all 5 car Alstom, Kawasaki Opt 2? Coney Island getting 5 car Alstom only?) -possibility of a third option order of the R160 and where will they go -how many cars each yard has So yeah...

metsfan Posted February 28, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 28, 2009 R62 will likely be the last to retire, especially if (NYCT) opts for 60 foot cars to replace the R68. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted February 28, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 28, 2009 Although I like the R160's, I don't want all the cars to look the same. The system will be a bit bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted February 28, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 28, 2009 I'm guessing that the R62s will stick around, along with the R68s for around 20+ years. believe me, R62/62As and R68/68As can hit 50 before they have to retire, so they do not have to go anywhere until 2030. it sucks becausee by 2013,almost all the lines will have no RFW by the end of 2010, all R32s-R42s will retire and the only line you can get a railfan window is the .
