Posted by G1Ravage on Sat Nov 3 17:43:13 2007, in response to Staten Island Railway to get New Trains, posted by Railman718 on Sat Nov 3 08:37:29 2007. There was a "note" posted at a terminal yesterday regarding future R-160 and R-179 orders. Yes, it specifically mentioned the R-179.It basically stated that storage space in yards is becoming an issue, and that before these new cars come in, they want to make sure all crews are trained on them, to prevent another R-160 fiasco (which is still ongoing). Also, the current proposals for extending the (G) and/or (V) to Church Avenue can't go through yet, because the crew facilities at Church Avenue aren't adequate for both (G) and (V) crews to be "recovering" there. Major renovations will have to take place at Church Avenue before any train extensions happen. When was the last time trains actually terminated at Church Avenue? Whatever crew facilities are already there must be pretty dilapidated by now. |
