We've been waiting for the R-142s on the 7 forever, but in a way the R-142/a on the 7 will be a horror, those cars suck in misty/light rain weather, they buck, moan, wheels lock, train slips, slides, you name it, it's done it. At least the R-62a have damn good brakes, in an outdoor line like the 7 those brakes are a godsend in those kinds of weather. I hope when/if the R-142/q go to the 7 they figure out a way to address that, or they should keep the 7 line SMEEs.Also with the FIND system they need to organize the find system so much better, they program that in a way that at the top are the normal routes, normal southbound, normal northbound routes for the day then underneath that the various different routes for every line. You have to go through sometimes 20-25 different southbound options before you find the northbound route that the route uses 99% of the time. God help the D line crews when they get R-160s since the D has a god awful amount of reroutes it can go through. |
