Homeslice Posted April 14, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 14, 2009 As I understand it, the isn't expected to use R160 trains. Trouble is, all they have are R32's and R38's, which are both well on their way out. What will they do for the once they run out? Then again, it doesn't run on weekends, so I imagine not very much.

Homeslice Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted April 14, 2009 R38s are gone my freind;). Oh whoops, didn't notice. I could swear I saw one recently, but it clearly had to be an R32 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted April 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 14, 2009 Well the MTA is working on a way to change voltage at the Rockaway Bridge that is currently a dead spot for all AC powered train. They been sending R160s down there to test. Once that is resolved, the R160s will be transferred to Pinkit so they can run on the and . Until, then the will continue to run R32's. If they decide to put R46's on the , it will be a full 8 car set. Which can be soon so watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 14, 2009 u said all 8 car trains...i didnt mean the R32s right? I meant the R160s. All 4-car sets are slated for East New York. Even the 32 cars in the next optional order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted April 14, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 14, 2009 The is suppose to run on Weekends but its doesn't very much its almost like they trying to kill the line. it only ran on Easter and before that It haven't run on weekends since January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 14, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 14, 2009 it only ran on Easter and before that It haven't run on weekends since January Jay Street construction, they had to knock the C out. I mean, where else would you terminate it at? in that case it seems like those R42s remainging in ENY runnging on the J/Z line will be sent somewhere else... They will stay where they are until their replacements arrive. It seems to me that the newer R160As from the second option order will go to the L, rather than the J or the Z. The J and the Z will use R160s from the L. The reason is, that the newer cars will have CBTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted April 14, 2009 Share #12 Posted April 14, 2009 All R160's can run with CBTC they just have to put the equipment in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R421969 Posted April 14, 2009 Share #13 Posted April 14, 2009 @ mta and PBD...I Understand. Would it seem as though the 2nd safest line to run CBTC would be the Nassau Exp? They only share lines with the M, and thats only from Myrtle to broad Street.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted April 14, 2009 Share #14 Posted April 14, 2009 All R160's can run with CBTC they just have to put the equipment in it. In other words, they are all CBTC-ready, right? I heard that those new R160A sets in Opt Order 2 will have the equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeslice Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share #16 Posted April 14, 2009 You know, it's me, but I kinda think the should be extended from Euclid Avenue on down to Lefferts Blvd, make that the terminus for the and leave the 's terminus as Far Rockaway (and Rockaway Park on rush hours). The and would finally split apart at Rockaway Blvd. The doesn't need three terminuses IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word, everyone wants that to happen, but the thing is, the community members are going to complain about how they lost a one seat express ride. IMO, it's not that big of a deal. Just transfer at Rockaway Blvd or something. Don't whine about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the R32s are all gone, the C would become full length with the R46s. The A would remain R44 with a few sets of R46s. The F will be half R46 (208) and half R160. Once the base order of the R179s come in, it is ancipated that the F gets them first and push the rest of the R46s to the A and retire the R44s.
