  • Recent fleet assignment changes caused the last few R142A sets stored at Westchester Yard to be moved to Mosholu Yard for (4) line service. As of May 23rd, 2018, the (6) line is made up entirely of R62A cars.

    The 4 is no big deal the real reason is because of the 7 needing CBTC service (which caused A LOT of R142As to be converted to R188s). This caused the 7 to give their R62As to the 6

    • @TheRailLeaguer

      BOIII3 Productions 380 cars went to the 7 line for the CBTC. As the rest of the 7 line R62As came on the line, a surplus of cars was revealed in Westchester Yard, so those last R142As went to the 4 line to bolster service and replace cars that went to the 2/5 for the increased service there. After all, Northern and central Bronx could use those NTTs from the 6.

    • @TheRailLeaguer

      Nothing here Because the R188 order for the 7 line called for a large amount of converted cars since it was determined that they did not need any additional cars to cover the IRT services. In addition, the R62As are not ready to be retired yet, so they swapped the R142As from the 6 line, which got back the equipment it rightfully deserves (R62As), and the R142As were given a second life as R188s. As of today, the cars are very reliable, which made Kawasaki, the builder behind the contracts, a contender for the R211 contract, which it eventually received.

      Randy Blü Most R142As we’re converted into R188s. 380 cars were converted and along with 126 new R188s, were solely assigned for the 7 line. The reasons for the conversions were:
      Supply cars for automation of the heavily-used IRT Flushing Line
      Displace R62As back to the 6 line since they did not need new cars
      Bolster Kawasaki Heavy Industries track record for the R211 contract.
      Fast forward to 2018, the 6 line is thankfully 100% R62As (the only piece of current IRT equipment it deserves), the 7 is 100% R188s for automation, which should be ready by 2019, and as predicted, the R211 contract went to Kawasaki due to their performance of the R160 and R188 cars.

      Andrew Campbell Instead of doing that, just make the R62A A/C systems more robust, and also install things like Digital interior screens showing the time, route and next stop, digital ad panels that display service changes and the map, brighter lighting, security cameras, and while you’re at it, replace the side signs with Digital LED (or whatever consumes less energy) signs showing the line bullet, it’s two terminals, and if applicable, the red diamonds or green circles denoting local or express service, all controlled by an onboard computer built into the cab, and there’s your modernization of the 6 line for you. Welcome to 2018, where anything is possible on the NYC Subway.

      Tonio guy There is still one set of R142A cars on the 6 line in Westchester yard but a lot of New Yorkers don't know that. The R142A cars will definitely return and also the Redbird trains will return. The Redbirds are the Train Of Many Colors.

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer Před 5 lety +1

      Hotters 7060 There are almost enough R62As to cover the entire 6 line service for all 12 months so no need to borrow cars. As far as the Redbirds, those cars run only during special occasions.

    • @Hotters9060
      @Hotters9060 Před 5 lety

      TheRailLeaguer What do you think about the efficiency of the old Redbird trains and the R142 and R142A cars?? Which trains are stronger and more reliable???

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer Před 5 lety

      Hotters 7060 Between Those cars, I don’t know which one is more reliable due to the lack of MBDF info for the Redbirds and the already poor condition of those cars when retirement came. However, what is known is that the R142As have the second-worst MBDF in the system, due to Westchester Yards lack of maintenance of the R142As (compare those to the R142AS converts for the 7 line and the latter looks a lot better now). The R142s are actually more efficient for 2/5 operations than the old Redbirds due to the elimination of the need to scroll through the rollsigns, saving minutes off each trip preparation for both lines. The time saved was used to add a few more trains on each line.

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer Před 5 lety

      Jeff Mao The R142s were in 10 car sets, so unless you wanted to cut service year round, that option was not feasible.
      Besides, I’m glad they waited because with this, the 7 line will be automated, and with the R62As returning to the 6, frequency and customer service will increase since there will be extra trains for the 6 and useful LED indicators to denote Bronx local and express service (and consequently, service to Parkchester or Pelham Bay respectively).

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer Před 5 lety

      Kai Freeman Why do that when they can just buy the movie online. Besides, the MTA wants to consolidate the parts inventory for the IRT Yards, so its better if there be no R142As on the 6 line now that they have the R62As.
      In addition, the R142a in the film for the most part was not a real R142A. It was actually a retrofitted R62A to give it the appearance of an R142A for exterior filming, and the interior of the cars was filmed on a Queens set that resembled an R160. They did not use an actual R142A since they could not operate as single units. The only time they used a real R142A was during the beginning of the film during the scene when John Travoltas character was hijacking the train at a station, which by the way, was filmed on the IRT Flushing platforms at Grand Central on the then-Times Square-bound Track.

Well blame the (5) line for this. since some of there R142's went out of passenger service the (4) had to give up some R142 sets and then the (4) needed some R142A's because they didn't wanna be less on trains. So thank the (5) if this didn't happen we would still have 6 sets of R142A's running on the (6) today.

      Kevin Montes no they will not! A R142a conversions ended already! The R142as were only converted into R188s from 7211-7590! So it’s not going to happen!

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer Před 6 lety

      Orlando Mojica Why? It would be better if the 6 line is 100% R62As and the 4 can have the leftover R142As to boost service on the line to serve the (sort-of) increasing ridership along the 4 line corridor.

      @TheRailLeaguer Před 6 lety

      Orlando Mojica It would be better if the 42 trains they so need for the 4 line be R142 and R142As. They have slightly wider doors to make dwell times short.
