Holiday Train will be the TOMC on the 1

Posted by zac on Tue Nov 22 14:51:45 2022

I just got the email for that, TOMC on the 1 from Chambers to 137th on 4 Sundays, 27th, 4th, 11th and 18th from 10am to 5:30. No other specifics about times.

Nice! I'm surprised at the choice considering IRT cars are small and hoilday trains are popular and the 1 is super busy with crowds with regular 1 trains. Thing is gonna be crush loaded just like the Arnines were.


Also surprised at the northern terminal choice, thought they would end them at 96th rather than 137th.

It will probably be a full length ten car train. It sound like it will use the express track of the Broadway Line north of 96th Street. That would be nice.

The email said all stops, so that is local.

On Sunday, November 27th, December 4th, 11th and 18th, the New York Transit Museum’s beloved Train of Many Colors will operate along the 1 line, making all local stops between the Chambers St and 137th St – City College St stations, from 10am to 5:30pm.

If the terminus is 137th Street that means that anyone who wants to make a round trip will have to cross over and pay another trip. Unless they let us ride the switchback.

R-12 #5760, R-15 #6239, R-33s #9306 & #9310 are staying put at the TM as permanent exhibits. Ditto for Lo-V Trailer #4902, and R-17 #6609 is sitting outdoors at 207th Street Yard, and not in the best exterior cosmetic shape.

Speaking of exterior shape, R33ML 9068-9069 pair are now both green as both cars were recently repainted. Originally after retirement one still had the regular redbird scheme while the other was painted green.

Yeah, look for the NY1 story to air tonight (Tuesday 11/22/2022) after 10:00pm Eastern as the ten-car train was out and about during a shake down run.

Yes, look for a pair each in the silver-blue (#9206-9207), redbird (#9586-9587), tartar red (#9016-9017) and WF blue-white (#9307-9308) schemes coupled to the kale green (#9068-9069) pair.

It will be interesting to see if the number plates, missing for quite some time, on #9307 and #9308 have been recovered, or be recreated in the same manner like R-32's #3360-3361. Just wait and see.

It is like this...

1. More of those ongoing weekend G.O. reconstructions during the same time span being done on the IND-BMT Division, including no access to 207th and Concourse Yards, and track work on the SB CPW local track.

2. Cars #100, #484 and #1575 have been stuck since they were sent back o the TM in August-September 2021, not having been tested and repainted in all that time. A six-car consist (#103, #381, #401, #1000, #1300 and #1802) would have led to crowding concerns, and the re-use of the R-32's was considered, but nixed in the end.

Change at 125th Street-Broadway outdoors as the northernmost station within a station transfer. If you change at 137th, you could always use an Unlimited Metrocard to go upstairs, cross the street, go downstairs and swipe the card.

Is 6609 seriously ill?

When I last had seen the car earlier in the year, it was all the way out there at 207th Street Yard, with its exterior paint fading based upon its outdoor presence. I recall one incident that #6609 was prone to stuck brakes on a #7 line holiday special run many years ago.

The shop forces have made no attempts in looking at the car, and have it sent back to the TM. Only #6688 at Shore Line is getting the TLC that its sister car in NYC really needs.

Will run local all the way along the Broadway #1 line.

Best to get off the train at 125th Street northbound to change to downtown platform to avoid paying a second fare unless using an unlimited card.

#6609 is not going off the TA property. I have been informed by a reliable source, who shall remain nameless, that the car will have all of its problems addressed, and any of the other museum cars as well.

Just stay tuned, and with the real deal with everything else.

Good to know they won't let it just rot away.

Speaking of BERA, I hope one day they can restore 4280. I have a fondness for Chicago's 4000-Series L cars; I remember them well on the Evanston Express. The later ones, known as the Plushies, had trolley poles and as such were ready to run on museum trackage. I heard that 4280 was partially disassembled for its voyage to Shoreline and was never put back together. It looked pretty forlorn the last time I saw it in 2002.
