Re: Railfan windows to be removed from the 7 |

Posted by G1Ravage on Thu Jul 19 05:29:11 2012, in response to Railfan windows return to the 7, posted by R 36 ML 9542 on Fri Jul 13 01:58:55 2012. Looks like this thread was a bit premature.What's actually happening now is that certain five-car units are having their south-end transverse cabs folded down, and then these units are being designated as north-end (Flushing-side) units, thus providing free movement through most of the train, and also providing the Train Operator with a transverse cab on both ends. (A lone single is placed in-between the two units.) This has been done on a few sets due to the lack of single cars, as they're currently being rapidly united (married) at 207th Street Yard. At this time, I don't know if the returned singles-now-units are having transverse cabs opened up or not. If not, we may have some trains with railfan windows on one *or* both sides of the train for the time being. But it seems likely that they will get the transverse treatment at some point. In short, you're likely slowly losing your railfan windows from the Flushing Line, even before the R-188s hit service. So enjoy them while they last. |
