R-46 Fleet Life Extension program... blame on MTA delaying the R-211 order

From MTA's July Financial Plan 2014-2017... preliminary budget for 2014 huge ass document.....

NYCT is increasing the scope of Scheduled Maintenance System (SMS) for its 752 R46 cars, enabling the cars to remain in good condition for an additional four years due to delays in the delivery of the new R211 cars;

R46 Fleet Life Extension.

Due to a delay in delivery of new cars to replace this nearly 40 year-old fleet, it is now necessary to extend the fleet’s useful life by the fleet undergoing a scheduled three-year maintenance cycle.

To enable this, an additional 98 positions will be required in 2014, growing to 188 positions in 2016.

Incremental costs are projected at $11.7 million in 2014, $10.7 million in 2015 and $15.7 million in 2016.

158 positions for SMS – R46 Life Extension in 2015, 188 positions in 2016

So, these cars are going to last until 2018 then?

Actually, the program will last 3 years unless the MTA does what it did with the R-44 program. The R-46s will go beyond 2018.

Their suspension is like running on cinder blocks and most have flat wheels.

If they could just get 16 R46 or R68 cars over there, they would only have to run the R44's rush hours, plus a spare running sometimes off-peak

I would prefer r68s so they don't need to change trains again in like 5 years. At least they can run those as single cars and other 2, 4, or 5 car arrangements.

I suppose the same can be said about the 50 remaining R-42s. Ditto for those BMT standards that were yanked off the scrapline and put back in revenue service during the Jamaica Yard Crisis in 1966.

Can always put the H2C's and controllers back where they found them.
If they sent just 16 over there, that's is not much they have to do.

The R42's are basically filling the roll of the BMT Standards on the Bway/Jamaica Line: on the rush hour service. About the same age too.

Put the R46 AA pairs for Franklin, and if they can't make those 4 car sets as singles, then take the singles for add ons for 5 car trains and the late night 2 car trains.

They should have gone the UK Southern or Japanese way and acquire far from life-expired PA-4 trucks from PATH and put them under whatever body that was available. Too late.

I do agree the pa4s were prematurely retired, but I dunno if they could meet the needs of the SIRT and you'd more or less be back in the same issue as this idea of sending some R46s there for a few years before retiring them.

PATH trucks are completely different and incompatible. For one thing, there is no gear box.

The R32's are out and about.
I thought the R42's are mostly parked.

If there is no gear box, can you explain how the traction motor is connected to the wheel set?

Just repeating what a maintenance guy told me on board a train to NWk one day. I don't know how they work. About 20 work PA4 cars were damaged by Sandy, they can't get parts, and when I asked, he said NYCT car parts are not compatible and PATH cars do not have gear boxes. They trucks are too long slung to accommodate them given their clearances.

Didn't PATH also loss PA-4s in 9/11 too?
