Not In Service R46 R Train @ Bay Parkway

[WowOmgStudios]

I have never seen an R46 in a underground/outside setting like this o_o

[koolmazin]

lol that bird got scared and flew away

[motorman1993]

because there is a slow speed order on that track for a long time now its 10 miles from 86st to 8ave

[MTAUSER220]

thats not bay parkaway its 62nd Street

[Caitsith810]

That is Bay Parkway. The N doesnt stop at 62nd street, the D does

[bvestationfan]

the first exp track looks like it has no 3rd rail

[Maserati7200]

why is it going so slow?

[Caitsith810]

Actually, that is the right track for the Sea Beach Line. Only one exp track is used for put-ins, expresses and whatnot.

[skipstops]

Why was the Coney Island bound (Out of service) R train using the Mahattan bound express tracks?

[Caitsith810]

This train was headed towards the yard, also to clear the way for N trains

[jj313]

look how low that clearance is

[kleveone]

they should paint it back it's not like trains get bombed anymore...hint hint lol

[skipstops]

I don't think that the MTA will pantied it back.

[irishany]

oh,o_o i didnt know that thanks

[irishany]

uh cbrown i think the r-44s had the blue stripe not the r-46

[itzzmenace]

They both had the blue stripe.

[skipstops]

I know that the R40M,R42,R44,and R46 had blue stripes and even other trains but that was in the only 1970's and the 1980's.

[Moarburritosforu101]

@skipstops actually the blue stripes lasted till the begininning of the 90's but then it started rusting fast so they had to remove it

[cbrown717]

at one time just about everything had the blue stripe. R-38s and R-32s had blue doors.

[seebee077]

Some R40S, R40M, & R42 cars also had blue doors prior being overhauled. The MTA tried to keep them graffiti free.

[MustangFan424]

Sounded like it had a flat spot on the wheels. Some T/O prolly dumped it or full serviced the train really fast and fucked up the wheels.

[Caitsith810]

To be honest, it was 2 cars on the front half and 2 on the end half. But when it slowed down to kings highway, there was this loud CLANGING sound.

[error46146]

i guess that R must have gotten lost...

[D3Andr3]

The R looks weird as hell outside of a tunnel l0l

[Caitsith810]

I agree with you there lol. I like the way the R46 cars sound going along the sea beach line.

[Yankee5004]

nice catch

[cbrown717]

not the same without the blue stripe
