Blame the MTA for getting scrap happy, not the R179s. I hate to say it, but the R40M’s that were lastly Jamaica’s were retired prematurely. We could’ve had R42’s and R40M’s running together and being retired when the R46’s starts retirement. The and could’ve had 10 car R42/R40Ms along with R32’s and R46’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted December 30, 2018 Share #20227 Posted December 30, 2018 Those 160s are awesome on the Crosstown line, flew down the line like a bat out of hell! There was a cuomo 160 on the which I didn't really care about. However there was a 46 train which had me quite giddy😄 I rode 46 trains daily in middle school so that was a nice blast from the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted December 31, 2018 Share #20229 Posted December 31, 2018 Theyve been playing a lot of "DO NOT WALK OR RIDE BETWEEN TRAIN CARS" PSA's recently on the train and on the station intercoms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sadly died on the Q up on 2nd Ave walking between cars. The unfortunate reality is people are going to do what they want to do when it comes to things like that. If it gets any worse then locked cars here we come... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted January 1, 2019 Share #20231 Posted January 1, 2019 Apparently 8th Avenue on Sea Beach is backing them up so much in reopening the platforms because of an apparent structure problem at the southern end of the southbound platform. This is what I heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted January 1, 2019 Share #20233 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) You know what, now that I think about it, train announcements should say their destination at every stop in every borough. An train to Bay Ridge shouldn't say Manhattan bound in Queens. Or a train to Jamaica shouldn't say Brooklyn bound in Manhattan. I actually witnessed tourists read the overhead signs on the platform, and then when the train said Brooklyn bound, they thought they were waiting for the wrong train. Edit: After looking at this R211 video, think it could be modified to say the destination in Manhattan and Brooklyn? This would also help pple distinguish if the train is going to Lefferts, Far Rock or Rock Pk rather than reading the side signs.

danielhg121 Posted January 1, 2019 Share #20234 Posted January 1, 2019 There’s definitely more accessories associated with the R211 but that also means the chances of something just not working increases. Give it about 2 years time after they come in, those FIND displays might just be stuck on one screen or half the screen is working and half isn’t. Those LED lighting strips near the doors are bound to stop working cuz people lean whichever way they want on the doors. NYers will be NYers at the end of the day. Just my 2 cents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure people were skeptical back in the day when the 142 and 143 were new and almost 20 years later the cars are running fine without any major issues. From what I heard, only major flaw NTT have that SMEE don't is NTT don't brake as well in the rain & snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted January 2, 2019 Share #20237 Posted January 2, 2019 So my brother got home right now, and he tells me there was this dude running around on the Astoria train, with his sweatpants hanging down and his dick flopping around. As soon as the train got to 36 Av, the cops were there waiting for him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I won't be surprised if that does not happen; aside from that station, every single retiling attempt has removed the rounded corners that have been a staple in the Dual System and IND stations. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the days this crazy man picks to cause a scene, of course he picks the first day of the year where police alert is higher than normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I’m surprised they still have it. It was just an extra, because the current signs were all printed 1988 and later. The 1985 signs (which were one piece rather than three) had 121 as an option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted January 6, 2019 Share #20250 Posted January 6, 2019 There’s more trains than trains running in the Bronx, and the isn’t running in the Bronx at all. No wonder I spend more weekends in Westchester than in Manhattan (I do it subconsciously without looking at the GO’s but when I actually take the time to look at them... wowsers.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
