Metro CSW Posted February 28, 2013 Share #2451 Posted February 28, 2013 It's amazing how people would piss themselves over a SMEE set or NTT set. I would say, "IT'S TOO DAMN HIGH!" but that joke is being overused too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted February 28, 2013 Share #2455 Posted February 28, 2013 A train is a train. I went the whole way from Bedford Park to Coney Island on the last week before I even realized I was operating an R68A, until I saw the 5000 number plate when I was keying open doors. But I'm sure if half the people here happened to catch my train, they'd STILL be talking about it today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted February 28, 2013 Share #2456 Posted February 28, 2013 Lol, yeah to me the r68/as are similar to a point where it isn't as big a deal to me seeing an r68a on the D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted February 28, 2013 Share #2457 Posted February 28, 2013 I just like them better because they weren't bastard units upon arrival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted February 28, 2013 Share #2459 Posted February 28, 2013 I just like them better because they weren't bastard units upon arrival. Additionally, when it comes to 68s vs 68As they, IMO, make up the only significant difference between car classes (i.e. there is no significant difference between a 62 and a 62A, because their respective yards keep the trains clean). For the most part, the bulkheads of the 68s are filthy, while the 68As are quite clean. 68: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?133522 68A: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?130960 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 1, 2013 Share #2460 Posted March 1, 2013 If I put in $20 for Pay-Per-Ride today March the 1st, then I'll have to start paying $2.50 beginning March 3, even if I use it today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmaybeokay Posted March 1, 2013 Share #2462 Posted March 1, 2013 Today, an R160 train showed up and I rode it to Jay St. I'm pretty sure the R generally gets one or two 160 sets. I've been on one at least 3 times. It must have been a gap train, seeing one of those is not too common nowadays (even though i've been seeing alot more R46 trains during PM rush as of late...) The F normally has some 46 sets assigned to it - these aren't per se gap trains.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quill Depot Posted March 2, 2013 Share #2464 Posted March 2, 2013 Why do some trains skip Astor. The R62A did. BTW, will the R62 be out this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted March 2, 2013 Share #2465 Posted March 2, 2013 Why do some trains skip Astor. The R62A did. BTW, will the R62 be out this weekend. I've heard that run tends to be late, so maybe it's a battery run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted March 2, 2013 Share #2466 Posted March 2, 2013 It was a little late it seems. There was about a 6 minute gap between trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted March 2, 2013 Share #2467 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) The R62A is normally always late, since the R62A's are slow compared to the R142A. I know once when I waited for it there was at 13 minute gap in service (at that time s normally came every 2 minutes). When the R62A goes express past Morrison-Soundveiw, it usually only reaches 42, the R142As can reach up to 49 in that spot, so they are definetly slower trains (just wait until the is all NTT, it will be much faster!) I don't think there will be any R62A s out this weekend, remember the reason they went on the in the first place was due to a 12-9 that happened an hour before the G.O. started, since trains couldn't go down, all the trains that went up got stuck in the bronx, and the must have been short 4-5 trains (note that most of the (2)'s fleet last weekend was mostly train cars).

peacemak3r Posted March 2, 2013 Share #2468 Posted March 2, 2013 I don't know about that, there were a few occasions where I had a by-pass Astor and Spring Street whenever I boarded at Union Sq. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted March 2, 2013 Share #2469 Posted March 2, 2013 The time I made the whole trip on the R62A it made two battery runs. One from 42 to 14 going downtown and the other was 59 to 86 uptown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted March 3, 2013 Share #2472 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I got a bone to pick with PM rush hour service. The headways are all effed up. Thurdsday it mus had took 20 min for a to finally arrive @ 59th Street. Three trains passed by, no . You can only imagine how finally when it arrived how I was contending with a crushloaded train full of irate straphangers because of the delays at rush hour. I mean ppl have families, may be late for work, or they simply just got to get home asap so they can pee. They cant afford wo wait 20 minutes. Same nonsense happened as I was commuting home from Chinatown yesterday @ Grand. 2 trains, then an out of service R160. I was fuming. It really wasted alot of my time and I could'nt get home to my little kitten in time. And MAN was I tired, feet hurting and everything. What possibly could have happened to throw the sceduled arrival times out of whack like this? This has been the abnorm for a good month now.

Quill Depot Posted March 3, 2013 Share #2473 Posted March 3, 2013 This isn't the headways, it's proabably something around DeKalb. That area of signals is always f'ed up somehow. Remember the has to merge with the , then the and run through midtown, so it is heavily prone to delays. Think of it this way, anything that happens to the and affects you at Grand or 59th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted March 3, 2013 Share #2474 Posted March 3, 2013 Now that you mention it, that explains the similar problems experienced on the BMT 4th Ave end of the Dekalb Ave spectrum with the and the . But that damn runs at the velocity of frozen molasses. You just can't win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
