R-32s Moved From Fresh Pond Yard!!! |
|
|
Posted by ENY Blitz 5107 on Tue Jan 10 18:29:49 2012 Greetings all!!! I recieved word yesterday that the 8 long stored R-32s at Fresh Pond Yard were being prepared for movement to ENY Yard so that the graffitied pair could (Finally!)be cleaned.Unfortunatly the R-32s would not "Charge" properly,so the move was scrubbed yesterday.Today,6 R-42s ran "Light" to Fresh Pond Yard around 11:00am to pick up the graffitied pair of '32s.So,now there are 6 R-32s remaining in Fresh Pond Yard at this time.No,there are no plans to reactivate these cars to my knowledge at this time.I hope someone was lucky to see R-42s on the Myrtle Avenue Line as it has been many a moon since the R-42s ventured this way... |

Whoever thought that train was going to charge up after sitting there for over a year ought to have his head examined, especially it was known there was at least one b/o compressor on it.IMO, the best and safest way to move it is 2 cars at a time with 6 R42's as horses. If needed, it gets flagged to B'way Myrtle. |

Just send a car cleaner there to throw a patch over it, these cars are supposed to be scrapped aren't they? (personally I don't like the scrap idea). |

If the cars are being scrapped, would it be easier to move them to an area of the yard that's less easily visible from passing M trains, or simply turn the car around so the graffiti isn't visible?--Mark |

How can you safely remove graffiti from a car when the third rail is on the same side of the graffiti?Are you supposed to stand on top of the third rail protection board? |

They can turn the car around after they build a grade crossing across Metropolitan Ave. and build a Lutheran-ALl Faiths Cemetery loop. |

Cut power to the tracks, place rubber mats over the 3rd rail, and use wood ladders. How do you think track Dept. does rail jobs under power on the same side as the 3rd rail? |

'How can you safely remove graffiti from a car when the third rail is on the same side of the graffiti?'the graffiti got there, it can be removed just as safely.... |

Graffiti vandals work unsafely, car cleaners work safely.In Jamaica Yard for example, graffiti is removed on a track putsode the barn. The yardmaster will spot the graffiti on the side where the third rail is on the clean side. |

Who said anything about turning off power for the whole yard? Pull the power on the track the train is on and the adjacent track from the knife switch that all yard tracks have. It doesn't have to be a big production/ |

I'm sure there is a reason why the graffiti wasn't removed on site rather than the cars being taken away.All I was doing was suggesting a possible reason as to the thinking by transit. I'm done speculating, you can declare victory. |

Squeaky-clean 3370 & 3371 returned to Fresh Pond yard tonight about 10:35 PM (and under their own power). Six R42s were used as horses.
