Its currently at Corona yard mingling with R62As 1906 & 1907 on track 15. Possible transfer to the overhaul shop maybe?? Last I checked, someone said that it was transferred to get the remaining R62A out of Corona. At least from what DJ Hammers said, but other than that, I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted November 19, 2020 Share #7452 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) 1906 and 1907 are off the Corona Yard list, also had the looped poles and upgraded lighting. They were 3 extra EP units moved to the Corona Yard from C.I Yard (6, 8 and 9). Edited November 19, 2020 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they connected by coupler or link bar ? Unless the shuttle project is near completion the use of link bar doesn't make sense to me. Why take 6 cars away from the available fleet?

Perhaps now that they've removed some 62As from the refuse pool they feel they have the capacity? I wouldn't be surprised if they were just coupled. At least until their SMS, a few Westchester 62A five-car sets made of formerly-Flushing singles were coupled in sequential order (1916-1920 come to mind). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t Know if it’s to convert that set over to CBTC however, The had 9363/9367-9597/9593 for two days now.

Sometimes, if the Stillwell Av train behind is 15-20 mins away from the that's using the train set. They will use the Jamaica R160 for one extra round-trip until noon at Stillwell Av so, it can be prepped up back to the for PM rush service.

Coney Island set 8768-8772 and 9473-9477. Flip seats are still there. My guess is that Jamaica Yard has R160s to spare as R179s have slowly re-entered service and the still going on its reduced schedule to allow work done on the Culver line.

Well actually, remember that before the R179s failed (the second time), there were 120 R160B Siemens cars (8888-8892, 8938-8942, 9003-9007, 9018-9022, and 10 others I can’t remember right now, along with 8913-8917, 9008-9012, and 9023-9102). If this is a case of bringing back the R160 count Coney Island had before the R179 issue arose, then this car move is just indicative of trying to find 30 additional Siemens cars to fill in, or a move to get 120 Alstom propulsion R160s to Coney Island to get the last 90 Siemens cars upgraded to CBTC. again I’m thinking I’m over thinking this, which is the main point. Only time will tell. Carry on 😀 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other 10 is 8978-8982 and 8993-8997. Only one 89xx series out of the rest at C.I that are 9000 series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set never left Coney Island, was likely a placeholder for 9013-9017, which was originally supposed to stay, but ironically was the first Siemens unit to leave for Jamaica so that the crews in the yard could learn to maintain a Siemens propulsion car 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
