Wouldn’t you need some kind of large cutting tool to put a big hole in those hard plastic seats? I really hope that’s not what happened.

If I had said something like “giant fat asses,” then that would be incredibly rude. But I did not say that. I’m saying those seats have done just fine over the years with people of all shapes and sizes sitting on them, so I’m just trying to find out how a bunch of out-of-control foamers put a giant hole in the seat after just a couple hours of retirement runs.

But I was told shortly after the R32's received their GOH, and I DID NOT HEAR a confirmation on this, that the digital end sign, along with all the "tin" around it, was simply put over the original end signs/markers/local/exp. signs. Wouldn't it be great if that rumor was true and they are able to restore the "face" to its former and proper glory? I'll gladly take the sticker they applied the R32 as shown above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Merry Christmas to everyone and if you're riding this Sunday, Allied Universal patrol are replaced by extra transit personal on-board.

I really hope that’s not what happened. By smashing it with a blunt object or a hard kick with heavy boots. There is a bit of hollow behind those seatbacks so that's how they were able to kick it in. That damage is something that cannot be repaired. Either they replaced the damage with a seatback from an out of service car, or 3840/41 were the 2 cars removed from the train. The other car from that pair had a damaged light fixture. Supposedly the train is 8 cars today, which I can verify when I show up later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Photo) WOW 😮…I gotta say, they did a pretty damn good job of approximating the pre-GOH look with those stickers. All they need are blue front and side doors, and “ta” insignias and I think they got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGA Link N Train Posted December 26, 2021 Share #163 Posted December 26, 2021 Today’s run went smoothly. I’m happy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted December 27, 2021 Share #164 Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Someone posted an podcast about last week events on a non transit reddit (NYC Reddit) and some of the comments from regular New Yorkers are quite funny. Quote Lmao this is an admirable level of anger to have about the retirement run of a train Quote I'm not feeling this latest season of Thomas the Tank Engine Given how many people have felonies I have a hard time believing any train doesn't have a dozen felons on it at any given time. What was there a no felons on the train rule or something? That they expected people to listen to? Were they running background checks for riders? I caught a felony 15 years ago because cops found an empty baggie in my car that had some coke residue, can I not come ride the farewell run? Clearly I'm a danger. Sounds like every day commuting home from high school Edited December 27, 2021 by trainfan22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy Since that run started after Christmas, a lot of people stood home to spend time with their parents instead of going to the 32.

They even painted the gates blue. I definitely wasn’t expecting that. It looks great. Like new. After the crazy shit that happened on the 19th, I was considering saying, “Eh…I’ll visit them in the Museum.” But now I may consider taking that one last ride after all. I just hope this car, and whichever others get this treatment (if any), get preserved. It would be a real damn shame to hear of it (or them) getting trucked off to Sims Metal looking like this.
