As someone who takes the and on a regular basis, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true. I myself have been seeing at most 1-2 sets of R46’s on the while heading home; this number used to be higher. Does anyone know the exact number of trains needed for the , including spares? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uses 38 and 40 trains in the AM and PM Rush, respectively. The also barrows R46s and R211s from PIT.

Hopefully once the base order is in they can figure out a way to enlarge the barn at 207 to make the full length if that's possible. But if it does happen I have a feeling it won't be done until the entire order is in and they can reshuffle the 4 car R179s to ENY or elsewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
