Both R10 cars are on the schedule

Posted by zac on Fri Sep 16 13:13:45 2022

According to the email I just received from the Transit Museum, 3184 and 3189 are going to be on the TMM, along with R16 6387. This is the official word. It didn't say what else would be running with them in that train. The Standards, R9s, and BU gate cars are also on the schedule. No mention of the Triplexes.

Subject to change of course.

The R32s usually stored in Canarsie Yard haven't been there all week so perhaps those will show up too.


They used those Canarsie R32s on a fan trip over the summer so..

I wonder if they'll be at the points, or in the middle. It would be cool to see the conductor slapping their caps.

How different is the experience of riding in a real R10 versus the faux-R10 #1575? The interiors and exteriors are the same, and the doors on both types operate with air, so they sound the same. Are the brake noises different, or the smells, or the motor noises as they accelerate?

Yes, BIG differences...

R-7A #1575 has an AMUE braking system, 190 H.P. motors, and a D-2-F or D-3-F compressor, weighing at 82,340 lbs.

R-10's have SMEE braking system, four 100 H.P. motors, and WABCO A-1 3YC compressors (original), weighing each at 81,200 lbs. They also had dynamic braking and improved propulsion. with their quick start-up and go.

The door release off (them after closed) each sound different, as well as the brake and motor noises. No smells from the R-10's and the later SMEE's. Also, the R-1/9's are not compatible with the R-10's.

There's an video I saw of an R32-R16-R10 consist being transferred from 207th to CI Yard. The R32s were some of the cars from the Canarsie consist so that explains there absence.

Obviously, the three-car combo consist of the R-10's (#3184 / #3189) and R-16 (#6387) would not be enough for the operation of that train, and it looks like the R-1/9's will be six cars in length, as they were seen yesterday (Friday 9/16/2022) at Church Avenue during the 12:00noon hour.

The AB"s were seen at CI Yard also yesterday as well.

15751's doors are just a tad different from the ones found on the R-10s. On 1575, each door window has a slight rectangular indent around its perimeter. On the R-10s, the interior door surface is uniform.

Weren't those the cars that were vandalized not too long ago?

I guess they could not come up with replacement roll signs.

Alas, yes!

There were severe break-ins on much of the museum car fleet at 207th Street Yard (probably an inside job), and this most likely occurred after Bill Wall had retired and left.

Most notably, much of the roll signs in them are missing and had disappeared. R-10 car #3184 now does not all of its front and side roll sign boxes (a very glaring omission), and R-33WF's #9307 and #9308 are missing their number plates, leaving a residue of waxing sealing markings surrounding the edges.

To make up the shortfall, the shop forces created imitation roll sign insert panels that will fit into them.

I don't like the winter green and white R-10. It looks like a Kool-Man ice cream truck.

That was my all-time favorite paint scheme. Takes me back to 1967, when I started riding on the subway in earnest and became an A fan for life, thanks to the immortal R-10s.

I just wish they'd never gone to that half-and-half scheme that started to appear in '68.

Why would a 3 car train of SMEEs not be enough for operation? 3 cars of mixed R-3s and an R-11 ran on Franklin and in the latr 1950s/early 1960s 3 car trains of R-10s operated on the Sunday AA Lcl and 3 car trains of R-16s ran midnights on the Jamaica Line.

No. It was the same color as the “racing stripe” scheme but the white between the upper stripe and the lower belt was filled in.

The original floor pattern is also different. I know that the rebuilt 1575 was put on display at 34/6 to give the passengers a preview of the new cars so I wonder if passenger comments were solicited and possible used for the final design of the R-10s.

In regular service, yes, and in the "Parade of Trains", yes, all mechanically. But in the latter, there was an overcrowding problem not only in the SMEE"s, but also in the BU cars, which is also a three-car event.

It seemed everyone was jammed packed inside R-10 #3189 to the point I could not get any suitable interior camera shots, and it was like rush hour. There was some breathing room in the next car, #3184 and #6387 (R-16).

Previously, when R-10 #3184 and R-16 #6387 operated with the other newer SMEE"s, like the R-42 (#4572-4573) and R-38 (#4028-4029), during these special events, there was a balance of passengers spread out amongst the cars in the consist.

Also, it did not help matters when many of the vintage runs started late. The first run of the ACF SMEE's, for example, did not go off in each day until about a little after the 12 noon hour, instead of after the 11 am hour start.

3189 wasn't all that packed when I rode it towards KH. When it reversed though the whole trainload packed into it. 6387 was pretty empty then.

How was it on the IND old timers? Did 103's motors take power? I would imagine 103 has gotten a clean bill of health by now.

I was a M/M on them and saw both paint schemes and they were the same. What probably happened was that the earlier ones faded over the years.
