Before Chrystie, they were fine on the Eastern Division as long as they ran them on the 14th Street line when it snowed.Not much was required of them: 6 car trains at 12 minutes intervals on the #15. The TA was very stingy about running 8 cars train then, maybe for a 2 hour window. That means they slept most of the time. After Chrystie, they just went to hell. The RR was not serviced readily from CIY, and ENY shop probably knew how to take care of them. The same is true of the R42 today: treat them gently on the J and they run fine. When some idiot decided to haul them off to the E thinking they were better than Phase II r32's, they fell apart. |
