IND R42 / R46 (A) train and Not in Service R46 (C) at 181st Street

[bbryanable]

say did the announcements said "A train" now arriving or is it just new countdown clocks?

[bebo2good1]

@bbryanable yeah it said (A) train.

[sherozsamarqand]

Why people are so few in NYC? I am in Tokyo, trains are overcrowded.

[bebo2good1]

@sherozsamarqand Thats because im not within the city district.

after fall (Sept 2011), will these R42s from the A go back to the (J)(Z)??

+and i know now tat they're the worse lines in B division except the (E)

but no rude comments

[fnesetmmyd]

you can tell that came from a BMT yard J and Z signs to lazy to change it to IND or just remove it like on the r68 lines

[LIRR175]

Why does it say "A train" on one side and "express train" on the other?

1:12 (J) rollsign

[junjun798]

@insectduel Those R42 came from the J right now the J and Z run R42s normally.

[insectduel]

I caught a (A) R32 yesterday arriving 207th Street. But never found the R42 yet!

[mtattrain]

@insectduel Hurry up then, cuz it'll vanish maybe by the end of this month.

God, R42s look like shit no matter what service they run on. They are running here not because of R32 A/C problems, but R46 repairs. They have the worst MDBF in the system now

[bebo2good1]

@thesubwaynut I dont get why the switch i needed for R42s on the A/C and R46s on the C?

[thesubwaynut]

@bebo2good1 me neither, recently, the R46 A/C have been malfunctioning more often than the R32s (that is why i am seeing more and more R32s on the A), so the switch was just a waste of money and manpower
