Re: R-188 now in service

I was wondering why they do not have pitted stainless steel window masks and end walls similar to the R-160's The original R-160A & R-160B did not have these upgrades but every car since did. They are scratch & gouge resistent but unfortunately, acid is a problem. I saw a R-160 on the M that appeared to have the front stainless steel surface buffed out no doubt due to acid vandalism.

Type error sorry

That can be done with the strip maps.

MTA wanted to keep the same interior to R-142A for obvious reasons.

I was thinking about that. If the cars on the 7 will most likely never leave the 7, it would be nice if they could paint a purple stripe on them.

Because changing it is time consuming.

Even better. Or at least the slightly easier R10 version.

Late Night Announcements (Queensboro to Main) (Re: R-188 now in service)

Posted by R36 #9346 on Tue Jan 14 10:58:46 2014, in response to Re: R-188 now in service, posted by G1Ravage on Tue Nov 12 08:30:21 2013.

Last night (at about 23:30), I spotted a train of R188 cars headed toward Manhattan, between Queensboro Plaza and 33rd Street. After doing some rough estimation, I realized this train would likely continue being in service for the trip back to Main Street, and that doing so would expose some of the late night announcements, so I turned around. I boarded it as a Flushing-bound 7 train at Court Square shortly after midnight (00:08 to be exact).

Here are some notes regarding the announcements:
• The announcement for Queensboro Plaza uses the same "Transfer is available to the N trains" announcement as the weekend version.
• The announcement for 61st Street is the same as it is at other times when the 7 express isn't running.
• The transfers at 74th Street are voiced by Catherine, including the same Q70 transfer announcement used at 61st Street.
• Announcements at Junction Boulevard, 111th Street, and Mets-Willets Point do not announce their respective airport bus transfers.

The train arrived at Main Street shortly after 00:30, and was taken out of service, so I wasn't able to catch any of the Manhattan transfer announcements.

The transfer announcements are used in the five time groups (AM/PM rush hours, middays, evenings, late nights and weekends). They are always fixed like that and I would notice across the board that the late nitht announcements are somewhat accurate. From what you are telling me about, the announcements are accurate. I still have issues with the announcements on weekends and probably would think they don't do anything when the E or G is not running at Court Square on a particular night or weekend.

The late night transfers for Grand Central and Times Square are also voiced by Charlie.
