AHHHHHHHHH! The Slants are going and going! Why god! Please don't the 32's!

IMO, the R32s will be the last to retire out of the Div B older "SMEEs"

Looks like they are running out of R32 parts. I heard that the MTA stripped 2 sets of Phase Is out of service recently.

Like when? I am available from 3:00PM to 9:00PM. Since, I am with Vinster and BVEGuy from 10:00AM to 2:00PM.

Yeah, we're planning to get a RFW on an A on Central Park West at that time.

I just saw an R40 slant today... I can't believe they'll be gone soon. You know whats weird, I'm at 59th street Columbus circle every school day and have not once seen an R46 train. I feel left out!

It's still kind of rare, I mean, there are only 3 sets floating around.

The has 38 runs during the Daytime. I think it's half that during the Late Nights when they go to Far Rockaway.

So, do you think we can meet up at TSQ around the Mezzine or would I have to travel to another station?

 

Too bad I got school this week. DAMN Trevor Day School!!

wonder why they would transfer the 2 car R46 sets to pitkin first ahead of the rest of the 4 car sets, maybe for the service cuts?

I have no idea, but from observation, they are pushing the higher number cars to Pitkin, which would include the pairs.
