@@godzilladaikajiu21 I thought the F1 had a BMW V12. Or do you mean the good old days where Formula 1 had eargasmic sounding V10's like the Lexus LFA? I'll assume you mean Formula 1, and I agree. The sounds are addicting, once you start, you can't stop.
The Market Frankford M4s also kind of sound like this but with a much lower tone. They were the first ones with this propulsion when AdTranz first introduced it. Of course, when Bombardier acquired AdTranz, they acquired the rights to the MITRAC propulsion. Now you hear MITRAC in many transit cars including the Boston Type 8 LRV.
I loved this video. Now I fully understand how the 7 trains get swapped from the 6 line to the 7 line. I liked how it was explained in your previous videos.
@@BillyMartin4Life 207 is a heavy maintenance yard that serves the R46, R62A, R32, and R179s, of the (A) (C) and (1) trains, they do work there to keep the cars clean and fix them, it's basically Coney Island Yard ( (B) (D) (F) (N) (Q) ) but in manhattan and a bit smaller.
@@BillyMartin4Life Major repairs that require heavy-duty labor that are not done at Corona Shop. I remember when the R142, R142A & R188 cars were maintained at Coney Island Shop for major work and overhauling were performed.
Is it me or is r62 way better than these? The seats are more comfortable, inside is calmer on your eyes with the silver, looks nice too. Plus is quieter. Also I love the full sized emergency doors!
Might anybody know how come a car fitted with different interior lighting factors (next to one of the cab cars) into each of the elements filmed there?
Most of the cars were originally built under contract R142A as five car sets. As part of the R188 contract which gave them CBTC capability one new build car was added to half of the five car sets to allow for 11 car trains which are unique to the 7. There are also 8 11 car trains (7811-7898) which were built new as R188s.
Makes sense; thank you. I wonder whether boa units might ever come about on at least the Lexington lines there. Anyhow, here's hoping signals therefore not be made fully redundant whenever CBTC become faulty there.
I always come back to this video to always wonder this 1 question. Is it possible for a 12 car R188 in revenue service on the 7? That’s one thing. Another is how or when will the 12 car happen to run on it? Like rush hours? Idk I’m just asking
Miss Jennifer Banks well this 12 car train is only 12 feet longer than the standard 10 car BMT trains, might be able to stop at 10 car marker at some stations if theres a little extra room at those stations.
Late response but they have batteries in them to allow them to run for a little bit after letting go from the 3rd Rail. However lights aren't being powered properly, HVAC and other small stuff.
Been along time since I have been on a subway car but I always kind of liked going through a switch and the drone of the HVAC fans would switch off for just those couple of seconds. HVAC sound always irritated me even though I know it was necessary. Remember times in summer you would get in a car without AC, car was usually empty and you could never stay in one to long.
Any station on the IND or BMT(lettered system). Maybe Queensboro Plaza gets an exception because the 7 and N trains use the same platforms, just different tracks
@@amtrak_121 There are currently some R142A cars on the 4 Train. In a few years, the R262 cars will replace the R142 & R142A cars on the 2 Train, 4 Train, 5 Train and the 6 Train. Then the R142 and R142A cars should be reassigned to the 1 Train and the 3 Train. Then the R62 and R62A cars will be subjected to be replaced.
The width of the A-Division cars are narrower than the width of the B-Division cars. The width of an A-Division subway car is 51', and the widths of the B-Division cars are 11' and 12' on the R44, R44, R68 & R68A.
