R44 5278 Posted April 14, 2009 Share #27 Posted April 14, 2009 I thought that the R40 base orders were already gone hence their poor conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenEleven Posted April 14, 2009 Share #33 Posted April 14, 2009 DUDE!! You can still ride one now!! I just saw one on the yesterday! I know. There's 9 sets left. But, I don't ride the subway that often especially in that area so I can't get that many chances to ride those R40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 20, 2009 Share #38 Posted April 20, 2009 Wow, the requiem continues for the Slants By the way, a year or two ago, we thought the slants would all disappear by last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the saftey issue with R40 slopes but R32... now they are old, even tho i love em.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the saftey issue with R40 slopes but R32... now they are old, even tho i love em.. they are the only 60 footer that can safely run on the . once all R32s-R42s retire, the will be using full length R46s and maybe R68/68As. also, it is quite obvious that even though they are older than the St. Louis cars, any daily commuter can tell R32s are far superior to the R40s-R44s in every way. that is why they will retire last!

All fleets, currently existing, should be safe to run. Are you saying that other fleets like the R42s and the R40s are "not safe" to run on the C?

I don't think a daily commuter would know what a R40 or R32 is, a regular commuter would just go by his/her day. And that is just an assumption, you are making.

The C might see R46s, but that has to be when the R32s are retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted April 21, 2009 Share #50 Posted April 21, 2009 From what I'm seeing, R160 option 3 is becoming more of a necessity as extra cars. The R68s should NOT go to Pitkin and the R160s should NOT be wasted on the G. Option 3 should bloat the Q well enough and perhaps supplement the D on special runs should the B and D share 416 R68s. It's best if the G becomes full length and runs the 200 R68A especially for its extension to Church Avenue and the reopening of the Culver Express.
