[bebo2good1]

Not happing! Future:

R142 - 2 4 5

R142A- 4 6

R62A 1 2 3 5 (For 2 5 Depends on where they will be sent from Corona according to a t/a faq)

R62 - 3

R188 - 7

[mtattrain]

It may be possible that some R188's may shift to the (3) and (1).

[bebo2good1]

No its not.. R62As from the (7) will go IRT West Side and R188s are going to (7) for CBTC!

[mtattrain]

I get it.

[Roboboy]

@bebo2good1 Yes, though there was also an RFP sent out last summer for specs on a CBTC conversion kit for the R142s and I think it mentioned in there that the kits were bound for rollingstock to be run on the 7. I'll have to find it and re-read to contribute the info to Wikipedia.

[junjun798]

@koolmazin this fall we will the r62a are back on the 6 cause the 6 is giving up its r142a fleet for the 7s r188 order the r142a conversion set is due for delivery january of 2012 so the r62a are also gonna be delived to the 6 during that time and the 4 is getting 80 sets of r62a because it has 80 sets with cbtc already hope this helps =)

[koolmazin]
