Calvin Posted June 3, 2021 Share #26006 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) The MTA is slowly putting cameras on subway stations. Some platforms may have one but adding more while others will be added from left to right. Quote that all cameras in each subway station will be installed by 2022.

4P3607 Posted June 3, 2021 Share #26008 Posted June 3, 2021 With the recent back and forth R46 issues discussion on other threads, I must ask what is the official word on the condition of the R46 cars? At this point different sources seem to have somewhat opposing information in terms of breakdown rates, structural issues and other overall issues. It's obvious they've served their time and are aging although I am curious to know if some sets or cars do actually have severe issues or if there really is a breakdown rate that is afflicting service daily (there was a mention of dropped runs however a lack of available operators sometimes is the reasoning). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitkin ones are decent eventhough they have a very low spare factor of R46's due to the loss of r32's, the CI ones are outright garbage due to the fact that they run on the 24/7. the whole r46 fleet is being used alot more than before and the loss of 110 R32's makes it even worse. They are probably going to stick with the pre pandemic plan and just run the with 1-2 less sets (a service cut) with no R32's running at all and reduce spare factor ( A big mistake, Queens CBTC says hello) with them now being at CI, They won't be as reliable as they used to be. More of them running = more breakdowns plus age. every other day there's a train taken OOS due to issues.

Since the Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system is activated on the Independent Subway Train System (IND) Queens Boulevard Line, which is on the , , , and Lines, are the trains still being operated with the dead-man’s switch or does the train operator have to press a button in order for the trains to run automatically, just like how the , and the Train does?

Jacob Posted June 4, 2021 Share #26012 Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) R142s are gonna be running on the line tomorrow due to a heatwave since making the R62A's act up on them. (Someone said this on a server on discord) It also concludes that what if Jerome gives loans to the since it runs R62A's, It hasn't been proven today but I'ma see In Brooklyn Bridge Tomorrow to stall there to see there's R142/A loans on jerome to run on the 6 I'll inform y'all soon. And if you spot R142/A's on the 6 either at Lexington or Pelham tmr. Good for you. There's stored cars on the 1 line at 103rd to 125th, The length can be either 6-8 R142 Cars on the express tracks. If you're near you might spot them if they're not there they've went to the yard. Here's the photo if you don't believe me of the R142s on the exp tracks starting to do service tomorrow. Credit to the person who made this photo, And have a great weekend taking your pictures and making content over them!!!

Yeah I grew up on this line all my life so I have seen all the changes as i was growing up post 1994 when I was 4 years old. but looking at old assignments from documents pre 1994, it's accurate. it was weird seeing the R42's and then R40M's go back to the Queens since the 1970's to retire there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we will presumably see funding for CBTC on the 6th Avenue and Broadway mainlines in a future capital program(s). Which makes the idea of major expansions in B-Division weekend service likely DOA for a decade or two. Even after those CBTC projects are done, the MTA can play the "we're broke" and "we can't run extra service because of regular maintenance" cards. Might be the cynic in me but I'm a little skeptical that we'll ever even see the current garbage 12-minute weekend headways on half of the B-division reverted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
