pr1nyc1 Posted July 1, 2013 Share #1526 Posted July 1, 2013 EPIC! Was so excited to see a C R160 headed to 168 and then a few minutes later, one headed to Euclid. This happened at Fulton around 6:30pm. Gonna be a good summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. So they transferred one set of R160's on the fly from Jamaica Yard and throw it at the IND CPW I'm guessing. I guess those manning the yards can't even keep up with the SMS work along with the simultaneous swap.

All I heard from the C/R was, "(unintelligible) incident at Queens Plaza (unintelligible) being rerouted over the . I guessed that something happened on QBL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted July 1, 2013 Share #1534 Posted July 1, 2013 And thanks to MrRailfanBVE we got a lot of foam: an R160 Express train! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted July 2, 2013 Share #1537 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) So that's 13 R32 sets, correct...? So the R32s are having lots of A/C breakdowns again for real R32 3838...? Edited July 2, 2013 by RollOverMyHead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you keep downvoting him? I'll admit he has been wrong, but he has actually been right about this whole swap situation.

I rode one yesterday and 2 cars had busted A/C, 207th is treating them cars like shit, ENY threw 2 bad sets in their barn as soon as they got em, there's no excuse why these cars have poor A/C after reviving an SMS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtrain4thAv Posted July 2, 2013 Share #1540 Posted July 2, 2013 Are there any R160s on the C (8th Ave-Fulton St local) line? The JoeKorner website states that ~40 cars are being used on the C line (the 4-set trains). Here is the proof: http://www.thejoekorner.com/carassignments/ and click on June 30, 2013. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted July 2, 2013 Share #1541 Posted July 2, 2013 Today the current 5 R160 sets on the all popped up in a row. That meant 5 consecutive R160 Trains and the rest were R32's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been providing reliable info so far and there's no reason for anyone to downvote him over his predictions. Our little political arguments are something else, where literally everyone is downvoting each other. How many times do you do that, Mr. Innocent?

NewFlyer 230 Posted July 2, 2013 Share #1545 Posted July 2, 2013 I rode one yesterday and 2 cars had busted A/C, 207th is treating them cars like shit, ENY threw 2 bad sets in their barn as soon as they got em, there's no excuse why these cars have poor A/C after reviving an SMS 207th is tired of those R32's . I don't think it's 207th fault though, these cars are near 50 years old in a year or two and there is so much you can do to a car that is that old. It's good that R160's are on the ©I just wish some would stay on the until the R179's come. Just one question will R46's ever be on the again since this SMS was suppose to fix the A/C on the R32's? I remember a few weeks ago I rode an R32 with decent A/C and that was the first R32 I rode since they were moved off the in 2009. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll Over My Head has already stated that he downvotes any comment that is about something he doesn't like, even if it's actual news. He downvoted my original announcement about the R160's coming to the too, and now EVERYBODY is talking about them. Seesh...... And no, no more R46's on the . No more relays at Chambers for the . And YES, the is still getting the R62A's. And nobody cares how many times you rode the R160 today. They'll be here for the rest of the summer, relax. And now cue someone to tell me that I need to go on vacation again even though I only speak the facts.

If they were so troublesome the would've already gotten rid of 'em. They know ways to get extra money out of federal govs for that. But instead, they expanded their lifespan way beyond 40 years. That must mean something, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted July 2, 2013 Share #1548 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Alright fine. If it makes any of you guys feel any better, I'll stop downvoting posts I disagree with and don't like, including the ones that are actual news and also finally give up on the R46/R32 swap.
