⁴ᴷ R142As running on the 2 and 5 Lines

Some R142As from the 4 line ended up running on the 2 and 5 lines on Sunday morning. Quite the unusual occurrence!

The motors are so different. The R142s play those three notes. You can clearly hear the motor switching from switching, series and multiple. The As rev up totally differently.

[@songwang8107]

I just love that propulsion

[@IzzyBone10000]

Same as MBTA green line type-8. Bombardier Mitrac.

[@WilliamLovesMisterSoftee7414]

And R143 & R188

[@kingstonbatista3009]

I've never seen an r142a on the 2 and 5 lines it's rare to me nice video keep it up.

[@Vxllain]

Kingston Batista Ive seen R142A on the 5 but never on the 2

[@munamaltiti1100]

Me too

[@-SerenityDoesStuff-]

Well r142a are found on the 5 line even today

[@konnichiwasenpai312]

​@@munamaltiti1100/ I have seen R142A running on the 5 Line and seen signed up as 5 Train running on the 4 line but I've never seen R142A 2 Train in person before

[@ItsDuckToYou]

3:03 hear the train it sounds like it has 3 R142A start propulsions and its my fav set

[@W.L.Customs]

0:12 to 0:16 #Collapsing Bruh, listen to that howl from the north motor lead car. XD XD XD

[@01fatgar]

2:33 4 Street-Union Square. LOL.

2:29 is when your cat bites you 2:37 is when a bee stings you

[@originalyoutubechannelofr4533]

Cool! I have seen an R142A used for the 5 train before, but never on a 2 train!

[@DJHammersTrains]

Yup! It's very unusual!

[@ItsDuckToYou]

Also I noticed car 7779 was played multiple times and it had a wierd starting propulsion

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

The R142A was assigned to every numbered train line except the 1!

[@kingstonbatista3009]

the r142a is my favorite subway train car

[@godzilladaikajiu21]

Same But my favorites A Division Car

[@godzilladaikajiu21]

I mean Same But my Favorite A Division Subway Car

[@dradysantana2039]

Mine is r142A r188 r160s r179 r32 and r68

[@godzilladaikajiu21]

Yeah mine is R142A R188 (Regular) R160B Siemens R143 R62 R68A R32

[@antoniaandyairrobloxandvlo6520]

Same they good trains

[@byenarcissist5297]

Well there's 220 cars of the r142as, what those cars goes to 2 and 5 lines.

[@Ya_boi_JayMoney]

5:41 my favorite part of this video

[@MicheyJoe]

you see what the power of team work can do? I bet if this happened more often you'll probably see something very strange like an R-32 D train or an R-160 A train

[@brandonrendon8992]

Ugh

[@Xeno_DBZ]

now we have R142A #7 Trains LOL

[@andymolina5737]

Xeno Gaming their R142a converted and new R188!

[@antoniaandyairrobloxandvlo6520]

Xeno Gaming also the 4

[@snackwrap2011]

what shock me the most was an r142A 2 train thats rare to me

[@DJHammersTrains]

+Adreece High yeah. It's very unusual

[@VinceHere98]

+Dj Hammers the 6 doesn't have as many R142A's as it used to before most of them got converted to R188's for use on the 7. You think there should be an equipment swap for the 6's R62A's with the 4's R142/A's? (Not counting all the equipment, but I think there should be some R142/A's converted to the 6, seeing as it doesn't have as much NTT equipment as it has now...)

[@snackwrap2011]

+YoImShepard ikr i love the R142A on the 6 line im kinda angry that theres more r62/r62a than the R142A

[@DJHammersTrains]

It would actually be better to keep the 4 line completely R142/As. The R142/As tend to have shorter dwell times than the R62/As. Putting R62/As on the 4 line would increase dwell times, which would adversely affect the 5 line. By keeping the R62/As on the 6, the increase in dwell times is isolated to the 6 line.

[@VinceHere98]

+Dj Hammers it would actually balance the dwell times on the 4 and 6...

[@CSXEMDTrainLover]

awesome train video

[@doverimpulse]

Now if only this happened more often.

[@annanowak3016]

Then this wouldn’t be rare

[@TuukkaVarjoranta]

Great video! Interesting, I have never seen a "moving platform" as seen on the video, very good idea! :-)

[@theminipetabyte4610]

Awesome!

[@youwu__]

Why weren’t 5 trains mentioned in the construction where 4 trains terminated at Bowling Green

[@josefstalin9068]

Bit late here, I know, but the 5 normally terminates at Bowling Green on weekends anyway. This video was taken on a Sunday, so no need to mention it.

[@ianhardy9375]

The 2 and 5 have been using the trains so it's not surprising that they would do this as an experiment before the next batch of new trains would arrive

[@mtaftrain5589]

I remember riding an R142A 5 train 3 years ago

[@toters2724]

I luv the 2 train

[@aquatic5203]

I Always Wished that R142As Or The Flushing Stock of New R188s Ran On The (2) & (5) Trains

[@andymolina5737]

DL none of them are great to put it on the 2 and 5! They don't need it!

[@toters2724]

Yes they do... The 2 and 5 need to get CBTC first.. along with the 4 and 6... The 1 and 3 would just get R62As retrofitted with CBTC. (not talking about the R142s)

[@godzilladaikajiu21]

I agree Kingston

[@billysmith367official5]

Rare!!! R142A on 7th ave

[@josecontreras8468]

Best recommendations from me: R142A 2 and 5 trains R142 1 trains R62A 4 trains R143 M train. R68 C trains R160 A train R46 D train R179 M train R42 A and C train R40M R train And R40S C train.

[@oval5252]

I saw an r142a on the 5 like a few days ago

[@Bombardier2199]

Something I learned is to NEVER wait for a train at Union Square for more than 3 Minutes. The screeching tracks and wheels are to much

[@SpaceGod718]

Never thought I'd see the day Lmao

[@m34tgaming16]

In the end they don't do it anymore

[@brooklynunreleased5396]

I'm pretty sure like R142A was running on the 5 here and there like 7 years ago at least cuz I took a R142A 5 train to 125 when I was like 4 which was like 2012

[@Trainman2024]

I’ve never seen that train in service

[@antstimee]

I miss the map that shows what route they take :(

+xXAnthonydabesteXx don't worry, I'll still make those for videos with complicated service plans :)

The new R262 are gonna replace the R142 on the 5 sad news ):

[@superbrownsheep3777]

Oofs TheNewbiesDay and the R62/A

[@Abstractt]

Oofs TheNewbiesDay source? Besides, just because the r262 rendering says 5 on it doesn’t mean it will run in the 5

[@jimmyjj9410]

@@Abstractt it's going to run on a Lexington avenue line 4,5,6 and actually it does because for the r211 it said A on it in the website and it's going to run on the A line when it comes out

i saw car 7777 on the 4 train on Friday and Saturday but not sunday and this is why ahhh so cool

Yea car 7777 is normally used on the 4 train

[@metrorailfan2334]

Raju Efem i know R142a to be exact

[@coralyspalomino8719]

Not gonna lie but its pretty rare to get an R142A on the 2 line or the 5 line so hes lucky

[@ibrahim-nk5sn]

I wish that the 2, 4, and 5 trains shared R142s and R142As

[@CholaHelloKitty]

Well on the 4 they did share

[@2dtech541]

This would have made more sense honestly all of those trains literally have the same fleet but it's just that the r142a does not go on the 2 and 5 line only the four but the r142 is on the 2,4,5 they could have done the same thing with r142a it makes no sense to me but it is MTA I guess lol

well I especially think there gonna start off the bat with R142's on the 3 line since the 4 goes to new lots in midnight plus they have already put some rare encounters of R142 1 train's ...

5 line not a surprise but the 2.

It is a surprise on the 5 as well. But not the 6.

Breaking news the r142a has taken over the services of lines 2 and 5 which their normal lines are 4 and sometimes 6 the r142s are now retired because they hated the look of the r142a also earlier today one of the r142a’s have slapped the r142 in the face because they were built after them they hated each other but they almost looked the same this is jimmy carrel saying that we need trains that behave 🤣

[@Bombardier2199]

*cool

[@toters2724]

Are you this stupid? The R62As can't run on the 2, because it shares with the 5. R142As are fitting, but the R142 SHARE STRIP MAPS.

[@Bombardier2199]

W Train Broadway Local First, don’t call me stupid. Second, the R62s and R62As WERE running on the 2 on the weekend of 4/28 and 4/29. Third, the R62As last ran on the 2 in 2013. Fourth, ask DJ Hammers because he has videos on them and Last, you shouldn’t be the one talking because I’ve seen one on the 2 myself so don’t call me stupid when you’re the one who hasn’t seen videos on 62As on the 2 😕😕

[@Gamer_Horse]

What's the difference between R142 and R142A? Looks like nothing...

[@pollsmor]

The R142A has a noticeably different traction noise, comparable to the R143/R188 whilst the R142 can be compared to an R160 The R142 has a ridiculously loud HVAC system, no other cars are this loud That's all I can think of off the top of my head

[@iknowuwanted4926]

The biggest difference is its traction sound

[@TransportFan378]

Not to mention the front windows.

[@anikaroberts5608]

​​@@chrisdadrilla because the 2/5 are interchangeable and they need to switch quickly at Flatbush avenue and there aren't enough R142A's to do that so that is why R142A's can't run on 2/5 lines
