Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Fri Jul 5 18:57:59 2013, in response to Re: R32's on the J, posted by merrick1 on Fri Jul 5 18:32:42 2013. I worked the E just before the V train came into play and the air conditioning was horrible. Yet when we took the trains to the yard they were OK. Why? because they couldn't handle the hot stations, doors opening and closing every few minutes and the heavy crowds on the E. Once the door stayed closed for awhile and there weren't throngs of passengers inside, they cooled off nicely.You can't compare R42's to R32's with air conditioning because it was retrofitted at GOH into the R32's whereas the R42's were built/designed with it. You had to find a place to fit all the hardware into the R32's and perhaps some components are smaller or poorly placed just to fit the stuff in. IMO a/c on the IRT Redbirds generally sucked since it was retrofitted rather than manufactured with it. |
