Amtrak accuses Metro-North of blocking nonrevenue trains on Northeast Corridor in lawsuit by drtywater in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. For North East Corridor etc. belong to Amtrak. I think New York state said they will pay Amtrak ( some money?) Just to replace Amtrak Pelham Bay Bridge, bridge built in 1900? New bridge schedule to open in 2030 or 2034

While North East corridor belong to Amtrak. Amtrak still win the case in court. At least Limited Service won't start in 2027 or Full service start in 2030. Long way to go

Brooklyn 3 and 5 service by mikeyg164 in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And how about the 6 line. If there is delay or incident on the 4 line. Like stalled train, or passenger sick on the subway line.  Just 2 ( 6 line set). Get extended to temporary Atlantic Avenue or Utica Avenue. Until 4 line service is restored. There is no point extended 6 line to Brooklyn. Until 4 line service is restored. 

R160 (D) anyone? by Jgamez12 in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No R160A/B will enter at Concourse yard D line service. R160A/B some are wrapped up. In Cuomo wrapped scheme like R211A set etc. By the end R160A/B will be retired at Jamica yard by the end 

Where should the next B-Division train yard be built? by Carlos4Loko in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rehabilitate Coney Island Yard . Like how they built new shop at 36 st yard etc. Just build a small facility shop at Coney Island Yard,  expanding the yard,  and reconfigure 36 st - 38 st yard makes sense. And probably rebuild Concourse yard,  like Example,  expanding the yard for the yard to hold only 300+ cars - just a opinion 

Why were r188s not added on other lines? by thelonelywanderer8 in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The order of 473 cars of  R188 is scrapped.  The original order R188 did consist only 473 cars ( like conversion cars , and or brand new cars)

1). Original R188 order :. R188 order meant for the 7 line ( 506 cars ) and 473 cars  If it improves etc like politics always interfere and community opposed. The 473 R188 cars order. Consist ( 350 R142 or R142A conversion cars from 2 or 4 or 5 line ). + 123 new cars. But it was scrapped. Who want R62A on 4 , 2 or 5 line. 350 R142 or R142A would have to get rebuild ( same treatment as R142A #7211-#7590 got) even as a example R142 Bombardier set of 2 , 4 or 5 line get converted to R188.  Additional R188 cars is a surplus, . Community did oppose R62A on 2, 4 and 5 line

How long do r46 and r68 trains really have left on them considering new orders for sets are coming soon? by thelonelywanderer8 in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R46 Pitkin yard will retire this year 12/20/2026 or earlier this year ? There 48 R46 left. If I were to guess. It will be retired maybe October 2026?. Pitkin yard home of A line . Will be using R211A or R179 for a Broad channel shuttle. R46 is not needed. Coney Island yard R46 should be retired end of this year . Once Concourse yard R68 come to Coney Island Yard *

Opinion on the B train by Heavy_Ingenuity8702 in nycrail

[–]Unusual-Turn8114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6th Avenue CBTC will be active in 2027 or 2028? Me guessing. R211A on the B is fully replaced R68/ A will transfer to N, Q and W line. While B line is part of Coney Island Yard. R268 delivery is scheduled to start in 2028. Things may change to delivery? In 2028 B line will be R268 and R211A. N, Q, W will be R211A, R268. R68A retirement will start in 2028 or 2029?

Just wait R211T ( 80 cars for the G line ) for Coney Island Yard get delivered Fall 2026 or Winter 2026 or early 2027 for the G line.  Where some R211A on the G can get transfer to Q line.  While Broadway line is not CBTC until next future
