R42 & R32 Mixed set

[4P3607]

I've caught these sets:

[(1 pair R40) - (1 pair R40M) - (2 pairs R42)] on the (C)

R62A and R62A w/ and w/o LEDs on the (7)

[R32 - R38 - R32 - R38 - R32] 10 car set on the (A)

temporary R68A (A) train.

mixing trains was quite common when I was a kid back in the 1960's and 70's as long as they had the same brake system you could do it.

nice catch 5 stars

[koolmazin]

i wanna see an R44 and R46 mixed

[TransferPoint9346]

Well, as I said in response to Allen1628famm, it's impossible unless it's done iron to iron, and that is not done in passenger service.

[sammydenyc]

dang. never saw one before

[jeanetdun]

I havent seen this since the 70s I saw a r38 r40 slant mix

[koolmazin]

nice

[TransferPoint9346]

Nope. The first 6 cars are definitely R42's.

In fact, here are the car numbers.

4592-4593-4575-4574-4563-4562-­3821-3820

All of the first 6 cars are within the range 4550-4949, which is the R42's number range.

lol you caught this on the day of my math final

[mtaworker123]

nice catch.that is a weird combination

[DJGeorge2007]

the train was out of service. They usually mix them when going to yards.

[elizardoamaya]

Was R42 and R32 in the mixed train was on the A service before it was out of service?

[TransferPoint9346]

I don't know. I only know what I saw.

[elizardoamaya]

I like mixed trains a lot. You should record more mixed trains.

[TransferPoint9346]

If they ever show up...

[Allen1628famm]

cool train remix video. I would to see that with my own two eyes.

[TransferPoint9346]

Well, I didn't believe it when I saw the first R32 pass by myself, but when I turned around, there was the R32's flipdot sign staring back at me!

[Allen1628famm]

WoW your very lucky viewing that train. I always wanted to view a mix R68/R46 or a mix R44 with a R46

[TransferPoint9346]

Unfortunately, those are impossible due to incompatible couplers.

And even though R44 and R46 couplers are identical, they are incompatible electrically.

They can only do this with the SMEEs because they are compatible both physically and electrically.

that's a rare set.

[Caitsith810]

holy crap. this is very unusual. Awesome vid !

[TuneRVisioN510]

[Yankee5004]
