No more R46 Equipment assigned to the A/C Lines

Posted by R46 5636 on Fri Apr 18 19:55:46 2025

Not a single R46 in service on the A or C today.

There are no longer any cars assigned on those routes, however 80 cars remain at Pitkin and another 64 cars are out in the Rockaways on the Shuttle until mid-May.

There are now 440 R211A cars in service, enough to make full A & C service with all R211 and R179 cars.

Is this official? Or just observation? I saw an R46 on the C just this Tuesday. But it had to happen sooner or later. I've been saying for a while now on another board that a day will come when they mass scrap a portion of the fleet. With all of the R211s that came in they couldn't possibly need all of those R46s, not even as spares.

Heh makes one wonder when they fully get enough R211 sets on the A and C lines where the next R211 set will show up… 😎😎😎

That's not quite true. There are no less than 40 R-46 cars working out in the Rockaways while the segment of the line from Howard Beach to Hamels Wye is rebuilt.

He did account for those. By the time the work is done there will be sufficient additional R211s to replace them if needed.
