R179 at Pitkin RUMOR |
|
|
Posted by 6 Train on Sun Dec 20 15:54:47 2009 While on the C at 168th me and my dad were talking to the motorman about how the R32's are going to be gone soon. And then he said that he saw a R179 at Pitkin, he said there was only one car though. He also said that last night at midnight they were running it on the A on the express run from 168th.So if you have special privliages on how to get into Pitkin please check it out and post pics. -keep on foaming |

They haven't even designed the R-179 yet, much less prototyped it. And it's not so great a stretch that they even need to build a prototype for it before they start making them once the contract is released. Sounds like a bored motorman to me. :) |

His statement is not ture. And we don't run one car trains, even in yards. Not allowed by rule. |

My favorite one is when a B line T/O once told an railfan that some R40 Slants was gonna be saved and sent to Jamaica yard and only used during rush hour on the (E) line. |

Whoever said that was probably sick and tired of the R32 or 44/46. This is Not true. Theyre not even sure if that's even gonna happen and if it does then it won't be for several years to come. |

Isn't also moving cars in pairs (2 cars only) against the rules because the train would gap out? I've seen that done at 207th Street Yard with the R38 museum pair by itself so that got me questioning. |

Most were asking for information (or worse). It's nothing personal, guys but if I don't know who you are, and you address your e-mail as "bolsterspring 44", don't wait for a reply. Should you want someting, you might have better luck if you at least take the time to introduce yourself - but still - no promises. |
