2 R32 Garbage Train Pics:

Nice pics.

*Shame your subchat one was hijacked though.

Nice pictures. Shocked to see an R32, R40M/R42 running on the V.

Nice pics man

awesome pics Bro. its really unusual to see an R42 and an R32 (V) train. im guessing this is going to be a common thing now

Yep the Qb line is under new management.

new management? wow thats good news. lol thanks 4 the update.

New management as in specific managers for each line, like the L and 7 lines a few months ago.

oh okay, thanks for clearing that up

Yep and now Each line has its own head master.

Good news to hear. Q89LCL. Also, nice pictures. It's wonderful that I can now see everyone's photos in full size now.

All we're missing is a R40 Slant on the V:)

i dont see anymore R42's on the (F) and only 1 set of R42's run on the (E) as far as what i've seen

I saw many R42's on the V and a few on the R + at least 2 R32's on the V

there are 4 R32's on the (V) and i saw 3 R42/R40M on the (R) and many R42/R40M in the (V) monday

there was 4R32s like 5 R42/40Mson the V and 2R42s on both the F&R yesterday and 1 R42 on the E.

I'm sorry if I'm late, but this is shocking. BTW, nice pics though!

Yes nice photos they are the new standard.

What happened to the R44/R46's?

I think the R46's that was on the (V), are moving to the (A).

Jamaica yard only has R46's. And the R46's have been moved to the F and R lines. The V is now mainly comprised of the R32-42's with some R46's.
The E and F now have no more, aside from an occasional, R32/42's. The E should be almost all R160's and the F next to get more R160's, but now mainly R46.

Isn't there about 100 cars of the R46's at the Pitkin Yard?

Yes, but that transfer was completed a while ago after the last of the Slants were retired. Since then no R46s have been transferred. As more R160s enter service on the F (the E is all R160) the R and V will start to get their R46s back.

Sorry, my response was to correct him about that there are no R44's at Jamaica yard. But yes there are a few R46's at Pitkin which were sent there to retire the last remaining slants. That you are correct about.

as more R160's come in for (F) service only, the R42/40M will retire off, and when that happens you will start to see more R46's on the (R) first because many R46's are undergoing SMS. then the (V) - at last, will be R46 and the remaining R32's (when the R42's are retired). in 2010 (spring) no more 60 footers on the (V). the (F) will be half R160 and half R46. the other half of the (F)'s R46's will be transferred again to pitkin to retire the last of the R32's over there.
