Just a few more R-32s I scrounged up, this time on the Lefferts Blvd stretch of the A Line!! Enjoy!! It was indeed hazy, hot and humid and there indeed as some catch-worthy A Line action plying about in the "Triple-H" (Hazy Hot Humid) summer time weather!!These were from 111th-Greenwood Avenue and 104th-Oxford Avenue stations.

2 10-car consists of R-32s laid up on K-3/4 Track

It snakes on as far as the eye can see!!!

At 104th-Oxford, the R-32s are face-to-face up close at "60-Ball" (Home signal K3-557 X60) on Track K3/4

Excellent shots, Paul! Can't take those RFW's for granted! I gotta get a ride on those, before they get sent back to the C! I miss that old 'M' logo, as well!

'M' logo, hell! I liked the TA logo they slapped on the R-38's better after they were rebuilt. That and the mating worms!

Ah, yes, great overall shots, no doubt. My favorite one in the batch that caught my attention is the dead-aim straight ahead image at the exterior view of the side roll sign box on an R-32.

1. 222 are in service with 140 being used on the A. When they go back to the C line there will be 144 being used on C.

2. They are expected to start replacing them 2016-2017 at best. Depending on what happens with the SAS and the R46s they might stick around a little while, but I will wait until we get closer to the 2016 date.

Excellent news - many thanks for that response ! Some time to get some quality riding then ....

Last rode one on the C in the rush our in November 2008 , "real" trains (like our fast dissapearing A stock in London - 1961 build - only 4 left and gone after the Olympics - sob !)

They have lasted really well - and the rehab in the 80's was money very well spent.

Thank you, sir!! :-)

Happy to hear how these cars still are going to have a few more years left in them!! In my honest railbuff/railroader/transit pro opinion, these are by far the BEST cars the B Division has running, and ever has running!! GREAT acceleration, and when they are working as they should EXCELLENT A/C, the doors are fast and responsive, clear PAs, and though the brakes can come on a little rough when she is flyin' along, this train stops on a dime!! These are priceless cars!! :-)

Just my 2 cents!!

If they outlast Q cars the MTA has to throw a really special fantrip for that. Some of Amtrak's diners are nearing the same age as the Q cars.

In terms of mileage and operating conditions, you cannot compare the two, the R-32s are true survivors. But in similarity to both, it shows the goodness, strength, durability and longevity of Budd equipment.

Thank you, Jim!! :-)

As for the horn, there are quite a number of R-32s which have horns mounted on the bulkhead above the motorman's cab. I think faced to the side and placed there would seem to be a better place for it rather than forward facing and underneath the carbody. No worries about the horn getting choked up by snow and ice and tunnel and steel dust and grime.

I'd love to see if the R-160s are going to be around even half as long without thoughts of replacement. I have not faith in the longevity of modern day equipment (aka technocrap!!)
