lyncdesert- Posted December 10, 2019 Share #4901 Posted December 10, 2019 Today as i was coming back from visting my family i saw a r160 siemens, Not in service bypassing 36st heading uptown to who knows where. After this, i got off the D and like right after the D train left another r160 siemens set bypassed the station i think it was deadheading to coney island yard. Maybe theyre gonna start transfering them over? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 and a half sets of out like what 45? sets of R46s have been transferred so far and were already at December 9th. They can probably only transfer like 1 or 2 sets a day at most? Yea CBTC will only be starting on the express tracks but service disruptions and G.O's... Old signals will likely be reactivated/CBTC placed in bypass for those sorts of disruptions 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted December 10, 2019 Share #4903 Posted December 10, 2019 I wonder in the short time that the and had those R46’s running on them if some people got on the R46 thinking it was an just because the has been running with R46’s for probably over 30 years already. I don’t know how long the R46’s have been at Jamaica, all I know is that they symbolic to the R line. When I think of the line I think of the R46. The QBL is going to have no type of diversity once all the R46’s are gone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted December 10, 2019 Share #4904 Posted December 10, 2019 Y’all got it all wrong. Don’t know where y’all getting car class assignments from, but its inaccurate. There’s a special plan for the siemens R160’s and where they’ll end up. But, I’m just gonna sit back and let y’all carry on. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive rode the r46 N many times because i use the line everyday and people do get confused. People get in and ask is this an R is this an R? Then the conductor has clarify that its an N. I mean it has N signage all over but people are not used to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on here that CBTC will start testing with passenger trains between Roosevelt and 71st on the express tracks starting Dec 23rd. I *thought* they would want CBTC equipped trains only but @RR503 answered my question already as to how things will be handled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that Coney Island will care about fixing the signs more than Jamaica ever did. I don’t recall Pitkin’s R46’s having as many busted signs like Jamaica’s do. For the most part people know that if an R46 shows up along the Queens Blvd, Broadway and 4th Ave line it is an train despite the sign being busted. Of course the uses them too on the QBL but it’s usually mostly during rush hours when service is usually running normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it has N signage all over but people are not used to it I haven’t ridden an R46 on the (personally never will anyway unless it’s an emergency in which I need an alternative), but based on what you guys claimed, that’s because people are used to every car assignment that lasts for years on end. Anybody that sees an R62 pull up on the 7 Av express tracks or in a Brooklyn IRT station, everyone knows it’s a . Likewise, anyone that sees an R68/A pull up onto a CPW or 6 Av station, everyone knows it’s a or . The first couple of days of the / car swap back in the Summers of 2011 and 2012, anytime an R32 pulled in, some people assumed it was a making express stops to Euclid or 168. People memorize these trains because they ride them or used to ride them all the time going to work or school or places of entertainment. That’s just how it is. But also keep in mind that people don’t even use their damn electronics to check the MTA Subway app and the is foolish for having almost every B Division station (dunno about the tho) consisting of only one or two countdown clocks on display near the end or in the middle of the platform. But yet, people spend so much time texting their doggone friends or family. And yet (in addition), the can waste so much time and money spent on various countdown clocks that only show the time and the date in almost every B Division station (not sure about the ). *Shaking my head* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
