R-179 |

Posted by rbseabeach on Mon Apr 16 14:16:28 2018 Just rode R-179 # 3093 on the J. I also rode #3060.I noticed in the A car there is an advertisement frame next to the door to the cab. This is a good idea since these large blank surfaces were vulnerable to acid vandalism. ALso the fiberglass frame around the side windows is A light blue color instead of the whitish color of the R-160. There are couple of other cosmetic changes as well I also think it is pretty cool that the J currently has R-32, R-42, R-143, R-160 & R-179's in service. I have now seen the R-179 4 cars sets on the J what about the 5 car sets for the A/C? is set 3010-19 in service somewhere? |

The fiberglass framing around the side windows is actually a very light blue on all the NTTs but it is light enough that it could be mistaken for white. Some of the NTTs also have a rigidized stainless steel sheathing around the inside of the frame covering part of the fiberglass. |

This was the first thing I noticed when I first rode an R-160. The problem is the vandals figured out that the etching acid is quite effective in applying a vandal tag. The NYC transit workers buff it out but it does leave an unesthetic mark. |

It's not a question of NYCT having enough personnel.The cars are under warranty. Haven't been in service yet. Bombardier technicians do the work. NYCT personnel do nothing to the cars. |
