R32 3838 Posted April 1, 2009 Share #76 Posted April 1, 2009 No. The R would become entirely R46 as the last R32s from Jamaica goes to 207th. Jamaica would as usual wear down the old cars, which would be the R46s on the R and V just as how they treated the R32s. Pikin and 207 just wants 200 R32's, All R32's are based out of 207th st yard, The remaining 90 R32's at jamaica are going to stay until all of the R40M/42's go, Then They might start going unless 207th need more R32's. It is unknown what's going to happen to those R32's at jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSmith Posted April 1, 2009 Share #77 Posted April 1, 2009 The is the odd man out on the Bdway line. If the was CI based, it most likely would be running R68s, and may be running R160s. But, since it is Jamaica based, it runs Jamaica equipment, R46, R40M/R42, R32, mostly R46s. Being Jamaica based helps the . I remember when the ran to Continental Av., the sort of took from this yard and that yard and was a mess. Now, it has a home yard and is less "rarely" than it used to be. It actually has decent headway. Jamaica yard is in flux, lots of old trains to attend to. The is relatively stable, the and have the most transfer and replacement of equipment. So, those lines have to be sorted out first. Anyway, I like the R46 on Bdwy. Gives variety, can get R46, R68 and R160s with the occasional R40M/R42 and R32.

Y2Julio Posted April 1, 2009 Share #78 Posted April 1, 2009 I'm fine with the current rolling stock. I don't see the need of the getting R160s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted April 1, 2009 Share #79 Posted April 1, 2009 there are still 600-700 more R160s that have to be delivered and i do not think they will all go to Jamaica. otherwise, the yard will be 100% R160s with those cars running on the . ENY and Coney Island still need more of those cars so the can be fully R160s as planned. this thread reminds me of when i saw a four-car R160 set at ENY labeled for the train. the sign said "Whitehall Street via 59th Street" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted April 1, 2009 Share #80 Posted April 1, 2009 FE, I think the will have near enough R160s when the is cut, so the rest of the R160s to be delievered going to Jamaica is the most reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted April 1, 2009 Share #81 Posted April 1, 2009 there is still a small chance the can be saved and if Jamaica is going to get all 600 R160s that have yet to be delivered, all its R46s are going to Pitkin and therefore, r160s will be going to the and too.

It actually has decent headway. The switch was made because the had access to C.I and Jamaica while the had no access. (IIRC) Deadheading to either yard would have been a pain so the and the switched terminals and the had Jamaica and the had C.I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted April 1, 2009 Share #83 Posted April 1, 2009 Some R46s will stay at Jamaica. The balance of the incoming R160s will go to Jamaica outside of the 4 car sets intended for the eastern division. There is no current intention (Nor, to my knowledge, has there ever been any)to make the N/Q/W lines entirely R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted April 1, 2009 Share #84 Posted April 1, 2009 Jamaica has roughly 730 R46 cars. Pitkin holds close to the equivilant of 400 R46 cars. Once the R160 order is entirely delivered, Pitkin will still be mostly R44, as the 272 R44s assigned there arent going anywhere. The only difference is that instead of being mostly R44 with some R32 or some R40s, it will be mostly R44 with some R46. 207 will likely be entirely R46. Jamaica will be mostly R160 with some R46s.

Well it depends, but given the number of trains assigned to them, they should have enough by now. By the way, you know Josh Guitelman too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he went to middle school with most of the kids in my highschool, and went to camp with a lot of kids in my highschool. I've met him at parties and played football with him with him before. Everyone in my school was crying, including me. He was such a good kid, he died so unexpectedly. He will be missed. :cry: I assume you know him bc he's in your grade at Bronx Science, correct?
