Except that since 2009, the F has not been exclusively R46, which it was from the late 1980s...In fact, from early 2009 until the SAS opened, the F was by far mostly R160, though there'd be an occasional R46. Now in my casual observation, it's about 60% R160, 40% R46. |

If you are going to nitpick about that, then you would have to make the same distinction between the various contracts that comprised the R-1 through 9 series cars and all their subdivisions. |

Don’t forget that by 1969, a few trains of R-42s made it to the A line followed a few years later by some R-44s. The assignment of the R-42s and 44s to the A freed up some R-10s to the CC line to begin displacing the remaining R-1/9s of various contracts. |

In my memory, I only saw R32s on the F after the V came online in late 2001, and R42s on there in 2009-2010.I'm only speaking of the post GOH era. I'm fully aware that Slants and 42s ran on the F in the early 1970s. In fact, I clearly remember them on the E and F from back then. |

Yeah.The 32s were in Queens after the 44s were removed.. basically in GG/N/R services. The E/F used them when the R46 cars were both car classes were being rebuilt. |

When the R32 took over the E while the R46's went to Hornell, the R46's never came back to the E. It was found Queen Blvd performance improved with 40 sets of doors. |

They definitely rank up there. For years that was the only IRT line that ran solid consists. Over on the mainlines, everything and anything were thrown together. |

The First GOH R46 I ever saw was a E train at Jamaica Center.The GOH R32S were returning, hitting G R N lines. The R/G traded equipment with the E. R46 cars took over the R and G. F remained pretty much a mixed bag of whatever Jamaica had available... usually R46/32, since that's what Jamaica wanted. 390 cars heading for the east plus 98 R40m plus 40 or so R40. The east pretty much got all the latest of the 1960s type smee cars. |

As far as I recall, the E stayed all R32 until the R160s came in. ONCE, in 1999, I rode an R46 E from WTC to West 4th. I guess there was some issue that day that they had no choice but to run an R46. |

Mixed Trains on the IRT - When Did it Start? |
|

Posted by Bzuck on Sat Nov 16 16:21:05 2019, in response to Re: 1/3/D lines running the same car class(es) for 30+years, posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Sat Nov 16 10:10:14 2019. I have a question regarding mixing trains on the mainline. When did it start? The first mainline new cars were the R17 which initially must have run in solid trains on the #6. The next set of new mainline equipment was the R21/22 which initially ran on the west side. Again they must have been in solid trains back than. Than the married pairs came R26/28/29/33. When they came on line in the early 60’s were they mixed with the R17/21/22, or did they run separately? I know when the R12/14/15 came to the mainline they had to be mixed since they couldn't be used in the conductor position. Is that when the mixing started, or was it earlier? |

IIRC, it started as soon as it was needed since the cars were designed to run together. That was long before the R-12/14s & 15s came from Flushing. Those cars really stood out in those mixed consists with their different car design.As far as a specific date that car orders became mixed in revenue service (as in the first train), I couldn't say & would be suprised if anyone else could. |

I also rode an R-46 E during a visit in earlier July 1999. Was boarding at Queens Plaza (transferring from the Q23 that I took from the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza by LGA that I was staying at). By that time, I had discovered nycsubway.org and was reading SubTalk (though didn't have a handle ywt), so I had a fairly good idea of what equipment generally ran on certain lines. I was coming down the stairs at QP, when the R-46 pulled in on the southbound ex[press track. I assumed it was an F, so I continued down leisurely. As I got closer, and as the train slowed, I saw on the sign "E to WORLD TRADE CTR". Oops. I hastened my step, though I didn't need to worry, we actually sat in the station for a few minutes. Lesson learned. |

That was due to R32 AC issues, and those cars were soon scrapped, so put up with their inferior MDBF for a short while.A friend of mine rode an R42 on the E. Unlike an R32, he said they "cried", they ran miserable, and they looked miserable. |

I believe it had to do with who did the GOH. The ones remaining are ALL Morrison Knudsen rebuilt. All of the 207th/CIY rebuilds were the ones who met the scrap heap, along with the worst of the MK rebuilds.Source: nycsubway.org |

I remember that period when R40M/R42's made their farewell run on the lettered lines circa 2009/2010. Apart from being shocking to see them on lines where they hadn't run in decades, they did indeed look like they needed to be taken out of their misery. |

Funny.The MK cars were mostly operating in J/Z service, while the others were placed on the L and M lines. When the 160s started arriving, these cars were transferred to the A/C/E/F/R/v lines. |

Initially, when the TR012s. 14s and 5s came to the mainline they were often used at the C/R positions. The problem came in when radio antennas were installed and there was a problem with the antennas interfering with the C/Rs mounting the steps so the 12s and 14s were banned from C/R positions. For some unknown and inane reason the R-15s were also banned despite the fact that they had inside door controls. Subsequently, smaller antennas that didn't interfere with the C/Rs’ operation were installed on the 12s, 14s and 15s, but with the exception of the 3 Av el which was 100% 12s and 14s, the IRT Supt chose to leave the ban in place. With regard to the mixing of trains on the mainline, some time in the 1960s, the IRT car equipment dept decided to assign cars to maintenance barns ny electrical manufacturer rather than car type as had been previously done. Thus 240 and Westchester barns were assigned the WH cars and Mosholu, E180 and 239 barns were assigned the GE cars. At the time Livonia was not an inspection barn but only a trouble barn so it had no specific cars assigned to it. The IND and BMT, on the other hand had cars assigned to barns by car type so those divisions ran mixed trains of WH and GE equipment but all the same car type. Why the IRT division operated differently I don’t know but that’s the way it was until the early 1980s, when car barn assignments were changed to a more logical system. |

I seem to recall that at some point in the 70s, the 12/14/15s were also not used at lead motors, why was that? The last time I remember riding an R12 or R14 as lead motor was in the summer of 1972 on the 2. I was actually living in Illinois then, but spent the summers with my grandmother in Brooklyn (near the Newlots Av station). When I returned to NY in June 1974, I never saw a 12/14/15 as lead motor. I know later on, whatever issue caused that lead motor ban was apparently worked out and they were used as lead motors again, but that was after I moved to Southern California in the late summer of 1976. |
