I retract some of that statement, those R44s from the (A) could possibly replace the R32s on the (E) and the R42s could possibly..run on the (C). |

I doubt it as the 3 is a part time line and the 4 covers for the 3 in Brooklyn late nights and runs local on Lexington.R142A swaps b/w the 4 and 6 is no big deal. |

I didn't say they should 'cut up' 5 car sets. All I said was that the 7 should get R142s. If they have to get the single cars, then fine, they betta do it soon. If they test one R142 set on the 7, that's fine also. They can be better prepared for when more R142s come on the 7. |

Well since they haven't bought those cars yet then don't expect R142/a's on the 7 yet. They are not running the 7 as 10-car trains either. |

What does that have anything to do with "the 7 being meant for R142s" or "R142s were meant for the 7" or any of that? The line has R62As and there isn't anything wrong with those cars. Why should time and money be wasted doing a major fleet swap? |

Because both the 4 and 6 had older redbirds whose physical state dictated that they needed to be replaced before those on the 7 did.The 4 and 6 received R142s and R142As and shifted the R62As to the 7 so that its redbirds could be retired. |

Look at the sets.if the R142s were meant for the 7, then they would have some 6 car sets. They dont. Therefore, the R142s are not usable on the 7. |

Why should the 7 get R142s? What's wrong with the status quo?Nothing is wrong with the status quo. That's been the plan all along, to bring new-techs to the (7). Part of the reason they built the new Corona barn, and intend to implement CBTC there after they're done with the (L). Not to mention the MTA's request for funding to purchase "single" "B" cars to make 11-car sets for the (7) line. It WILL happen. It's only a matter of when. |

No way those Redbirds on the 7 Line was better than the ones on the 4 and 6...I never really looked forward going to the 7 Line when i was Extra Extra and dealing with those crappy trains. The Rebirds on the 4 and 6 Line had the 7 Line Beat by a country Mile when it came to operation. |

Wehn the MTA gets its Funding to purchase some more "A" cars(or was it "B"?) for the 7 Line that will come to pass.Do you think they are doing those Signal and Track upgrades for nothing? Along with the new Corona Barn? That Barn is made for R142's beacuse of the High Ceiling for the HVAC Units,only way to take em off the train is from above it. |

While I am not trying to defend anybody here, it isn't just SubTalk. What about Bill Zucker's "Car Assignments & Deviations Therefrom" that's been a mainstay of the New York Division "Bulletin" for years now? What about George Chiasson's painstakingly detailed articles on the history of where certain car classes ran, and why, and where he thought the next assignments would be? Are these examples any different than someone asking here about why an R-289023 was plowing the Zedda line last week when everyone knows only Q-78384 models run there? Some people find that level of detail interesting and others don't.And at least those kinds of posts are on topic. --Mark |

There are alot of things discussed here that do not even begin to phase most average riders but then there may be average riders who tend to discuss certain issues like Fulton St or the renovation at 42nd Street..the MTA isn't starting all of these projects for no reason, they're answering to these average riders. |
