Perhaps. There was at least one R32 M train during the post 9/11 attacks, but I never saw one on the J. The last time I saw an R32 J train was in March 1989, and it was pre-GOH.

I am checking out every single Manhattan bound train that passes my apartment as we speak, and if I see it, I will report it.

my guess is that it's a put-in from ENY and will pass your house Jamaica-bound between 5p-6p.

You're post reminds me of when I rode a 42 on the J back in 05 where the heater caught on fire! Its funny as it happened as the train pulled into BJ and continued on its trip like nothing happened, I guess one of the riders put the fire out.

Oh. I didn't know that. I wonder why they don't use a garbage train for the Jamaica line?

Must be a PITA for the employees to go up on the EL to get the garbage then go back down to the street to put it in the truck.

I thought it was odd I never seen in person or photos of the garbage train running on the Jamaica line, I assume the Brighton line garbage is picked up by truck as well as I never seen a garbage train on that line either.

Maybe the garbage is stored at the fare control area in a room and the people who pick up at night only have to go up one flight of stairs?

I think on the J, they empty the garbage cans on the platform and bring the bags downstairs.

like I said..the 42s are done..need plenty of work to keep em going now.
by all rights they should be put out to scrap..and replaced by at least 50 32 until the 179's come in.

?..

why would that affect the J? The 143s never operated in J service.

they don't operate CBTC equipped cars..and the 64 CBTC R160's are usually assigned to the L for obvious reasons...

unless they are installing the equipment ON the rest of the fleet..?

Can the C line spare the cars, though?

The R42's would be in better shape had they been better cared for in recent years.
