Yeah.The 68s will definitely reach replacement age Next year. The problem is, the TA will not issue anything, until Congestion Pricing is put back on the table,or the Governor and Feds ante up the funds for both 262 and 268s rolling stock. They had a hard enough time replacing the 46s, and That was their own fault. I know for a fact that D line riders are definitely looking for "new cars", since the D has been the home of the 68s from day one. 39 years so far, for the 68s,35 years for the 68a. I'm thinking that they would keep them around longer,to squeeze every drop of service out of them, but CBTC is playing a factor. The best option would to send all 68s to the Southern division, replacing the R46s still running there. The D gets some mixed bagged NTT cars, sending its 300 to Coney Island. It's pretty much a done deal that the D will get something out of the R211 car options orders. It's just a waiting game. What's also pretty much established is the R268 will be "mostly southern division" cars.. with some going elsewhere. |
