Posted by Stef on Fri Nov 15 01:40:24 2013, in response to NYCT Scrappings Question, posted by Mysterious Friday 1986 on Thu Nov 14 18:24:32 2013. As per my source:9582-83, 7486, 7267 and 6895 are all marked for scrap. However, no time frame has been established as of yet. When will they go? It could be tomorrow, or it could be a year for now. We may not see any real scrappings until the R179's arrive, which is at least 1 to 2 years before the first train is on the property. 9584 and 85 are still active on the R.A.T. Remaining R33 Singles: I think its safe to say that the number of ACTIVE R33 Singles is dwindling. As time goes on, we'll see even less of them. The problem is they need to be held as a back up in case the R127's and R134's are unable to go out on the road. In the case of 207th St, it may be possible to withdraw them and replace them with R32's. 239th St and Unionport still need their Redbirds. Corona may not need theirs when all R188's are placed into service. I don't know if the re-deployment of R127's and 134's would help get the R33 Singles off the road, but perhaps the time is coming for NYC Transit to look into getting R142 type work motors. Only time will tell. -Stef |
