I rode on R142 4 train from the 2 train I was on train number 6324
-
4 train with 2 train stripmaps?? that's something new lol
either the 4 is getting more cars, or they could have sent a 5 to Woodlawn (or a 4 to Flatbush, either way lol)
-
The 4 train actually does in fact have some 2 train cars running on the four and they coupled them up with the low numbered R142 like 1142
-
I heard they changed out those 2 train stripmaps already
-
Well The M.T.A. I think put a few R142s from the (2) to the (5) I think swap maybe possible they put those same ones on the (4) now but It is necessary to change the strip maps.
-
Those R142s that were previously on the (2) and (5) lines is temporarily replacing a couple of R142A sets, which are at Kawasaki's Yonkers plant.
-
Some of you guys are a few months late about sets from the (2) & (5) appearing on the (4).The 1st set appeared back in early September.Over the months more sets have appeared on the (4) b\c I think a few R142A's the CBTC compatitable ones (7731-7810) are getting retrofitted or whatever the hell they're doing its for the (7).
Recently since mid-December several people included me realized something was going on b\c its odd to see "several" not 1 or 2 R142's in order. 1101-1110 is in numerical order,1215-1206 and several other sets and they're regular (4) sets.The newest addition to (4) service is 6321-6325 set which I rode yesterday.Already has 4 stripmaps installed.But back in November the Flushing Line was ready for R142A testing but there has been no word of that eversince and that came from a T/O on NYCTF.Now expect this if the sets from the (2) & (5) stay on the (4) then chances are Lex Av is gonna stay Fully NTT's.Either way the (4) will lose 7731-7810 b\c that is the Supplement order and they have that CBTC kit shit installed.So either the cats from the (3) will return to the (4) to replace the R142A's or the (2) will become R62A.In reality it makes sense but then again it doesn't b\c of rollsign changing with the 2 and 5 at Flatbush.I'll keep you guys updated on some News.If you want to know some more stuff just PM me.

Another thing if you guys haven't noticed lately but the Concourse R68's are getting door enablers which mean in order to open the doors the T/O and C/R must press the right buttons so the doors will open on the right side.(They have a green circle next to the number plate)sets that have door enabler.

I do believe that they are geting CBTC Compatible / being converted to R188s for the (7) [i'm not sure]

Yep and yes also I believe 1 or 2 sets on the (A) have them.

So that means the (4) amd the (6) will lose the R142's?
-
The (6) would probably lose their R142As since it would be most logical to send the modified R62As to Pelham for Pelham's trains.

Honestly I don't know.But it's very likely the (4) will lose its 7731-7810 which have the CBTC kit and possibly more sets.
And yes it does makes sense to send the R62A's from the (7) with the LED signs b\c of that reason but then again POLITICS,POLITICS,POLITICS*Reason why the NTT's are on Lex* but rollsign changing is an issue also and the crew are already pissed about it.
-

R142A's yes but not all of them.
-
Amazing how politics can mess up a subway line. I agree with it becase ofte LED lights on he exterior of the R62's but as for the roll sign change, they are just lazy. It all comes with the job. But they should keep the left over R142 on the (4). Plus im a lil afraid of that CBTC, i dont want anything to malfunction

1.Its not really about being "lazy" crew may not have enough time to change signs.
2.I'll keep you updated about this situation but I think the (4) will remain all NTT.A few years ago a few sets from the (2) and (5) appeared on the (4) and were on the (4) for about a month or 2 for idk what reason but they didn't have a stripmap change.
3.CBTC it will malfunction at times b\c its only 1 test train going.If it keeps failing then lol I hope it does.
-
come to think about it that might be why I saw that R62 on the 4 train either way so basicly the 2 will mostly lose R142's so they will be replaced by the R62A's and the 4 will get the trains from the 2 train and then the 6 will get R62A's from the 7 so wait will the 1 and the 3 trains get the CBTC kit miterials ran on them I am just wondering because of those R142 sightings on the 1 train

When did you see an R62 on the (4)?
The (1) and (3) won't get CBTC anytime soon as long as the R62/A's are around.
And R142 sightings on the (1) is only for supplement service(NEED of extra trains due to events or SMS or the 62A's).Or re-routed (2)'s resigned to (1).
-
I saw the R62 on the 4 when the old bvgestation was up I was F train fan

If you're talking about back in April that was only b\c the (4) had no access to Livonia Yard so they slipped in a 62.
-
so if this goes on for longer than will the 4 train get more R62 trains

I don't know I'll let some of you know whats going on.But it would make sense for the (6)<6> To get the R62A's from the (7) b\c of the LED's but then again they can bump the (4)'s R-142's to the (6) moving the R-62A singles from the (7) to the (3) possibly for 9 cars bumping the cats from the (3) to the (4).

This is not until a couple years from now...when the R188 come out then we will see which line gets what train sets. but for now yes some lines use different R142 (5 from the 2), (5 from the 4), (2 from the 5), or (2 from the 4) and vise versa. you will prob see them when they change the route on Flatbush Avenue, or when a 5 goes to Frankilin Avenue, Crown Heights, or even New Lots then sometimes returns as a 4.

I understand what you're saying but this was kind of topic.I'm sure the crew won't change the stripmaps for all cars just b\c a train that was re-routed.

They don't only the LED

They don't only the LED
FYI: The first R-142A test for the (7) was supposed to happen in November thats whay all the signal work n stuff was going on in the tubes suspending the (7) btwn Qnsboro Plaza and 42nd St also it was single tracking/wrong rail operation.

:o
We all will see them when they change the route from Flatbush Avenue to Frankilin Avenue, Crown Heights
:P :-*
