Question about R46 F train 2011

[Bombardier01800]

I've been brainstorming lately. Could these trains sitting in the yards be coming from the route cuts?

[bve]

Well the G's R46's are there because of the summer pick. The summer pick shifted R68's on the (G) and displaced the R46's.

How about the new train order?
And when will the R142/A be moved to the 7 or something like that?

They order has been placed already. As far as the R142/A to the 7 around a few years or so

[Dj Hammers]

The G is now at Coney Island yard so it is now using CI-based R68s instead of Jamaica R46s.

The R142A/R188s to the 7 should happen within a few years as bve said; there is already one R142A set in Yonkers undergoing conversion.

It depends on what trains you are talking about, the R160 from CIY are taking a break because of how much mileage they have, which resulted the N, Q to have some R68A's back from the B. There is a rumor that the R160 might go on the B since it only runs on weekdays.

[F train fan]

so basically with the R68A's on the N and Q increasing the spare R160's will go on the B am I a getting this right

Its a thought, but not 100% true, again its a rumor

hmm that's interesting. Is that why there have been 46's on the F? I was talking about the R68s and R46s. The R68s went into the G, and some of those R46s are on the F. Correct me if I'm wrong. I figured the surplus of these trains came from the cuts since the W sometimes used 68's (?) and the V 46's(?).

[F train fan]

going back to the R46's on the F didn't the MTA take them off the F to prevent them from getting stuck
in the tunnels after the chrystler street tunnel

The R68 that were on the G IIRC were either from the W or the B/D ( Not sure about that) The R46 that were on the V were sent to the A to replace the R44, the F got the R46 back because of extras that were from the G, (Mostly used for put ins) but as i stated, the R160's have wayyyyy to much mileadge on them, so its a possibility u see a R46 F or a R68A on the N and Q once in a while.

Yes, but things change over time.

That is not why the R46s got pulled off the F. The F line does not run through the Chrystie Street Cut.

The R46s were sent off the F by R160s. These R46s all went to the A line to replace R38s and R44s.

Yeah the R-46's or any other 75 footer won't get stuck if 1 does make it through the cut.They can run pretty much on the entire (M) its just extremely tight curves will limit speed in certain parts and there will be 1 train limited on the bridge due to swaying which may cause trains to sideswipe.

Yea that's pretty much what I was thinking. Now, are all of the R46's from the G on the F or another line?

I heard they didn't like doing that, but it should be OK as long as nobody screws up. In fact, R46's have been by there many times(not throught the cut).

The Extra R46's went to the (F). There might be others laying around or on the (R)

[error46146]

the 46 F happened because of the 46's from the G that got pushed out by the 68's.

expect to see more 46's on the F once the G becomes fully R68.

[F train fan]

now that the G train is being based out of coney island is it possible that there might be a few R160 G
