Why Do I Call It Bullshit? |

Posted by TRAIN DUDE on Sun Nov 23 20:21:46 2025 Months ago the NYCT announced that they had found accellerated wheel wear on the R-160 Jamaica fleet. Since then they have been very quiet about the problem until earlier this week when they announced that the problem has been solved. What did they find? Interestingly enough, they hired a consultant and after much study, they have determined that the problem was excessive speed at some curves. They found that by reducing speeds, in some cases by just 5 MPH, the wheel wear issue was solved. I do have a problem with this brilliant discovery. In the 1990s the TA switched to ring damped wheels. Other than that, the speeds and the curves along queens blvd. have not changed. Why did they not have to sliw up the R-46s or the R-32s on those same curves? The R-160s use the same wheels. I'm skeptical about this consultant's solution. I have a few questions for him/her. |
