Subway Action Plan: Preventing Hot Cars

[@victordiasrodriguesdossant4832]

This is what worries me. “Fast forward ONCE FUNDED.” I am not holding my breath for Cuomo and De Blasio to end their childish squabbling.

I know the nyc subway still has problems, but at least now I know partially why it is. I think some of the anger is just being kept in the dark for so long. Keep it up!

Great to know. In addition if we want hot cars to be fixed ASAP we as riders need to report the Car Number to the MTA via tweeter, this helps greatly!

[@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION]

YES MTA FINALLY Because everytime i'm on a R62A 6 train it never has A/C

[@TheRailLeaguer]

MiltonR188Production Are you really sure that every time you are on an R62A there is no A/C?

[@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION]

It seems crazy but yeah its true but it only happens on the (6) never the (1) or (3)

[@TheRailLeaguer]

MiltonR188Production Westchester Yard should up the maintenance of the cars to reduce hot car problems on ALL lines, including the 6. The R62As are reliable, but it’s just the A/C problem they have to deal with.

[@ohmeanstuskegee]

MiltonR188Production I can tell you, being a normal (6) train and R62A rider, that’s false in all levels. The (1) trains R62A’s are usually the ones who’s A/C malfunctions on a seasonal basis. And I’m not sure what’s the car of the R62A you take every time you’re on the (6) but to me, that’s a different story

[@LIRRSBSPRODUCTION]

i dont really remember all the car numbers i been on that had no A/C there is plenty of them since the (1) shares with the (6)

[@blaazer9473]

r62s have the worst problems with HVACs. I don't recall hot cars for the r46 and r68 as often.

[@s.j.5850]

The number one issue tends to be dirty air filters. The filters HAVE to be changed on a regular basis. The more the subway cars go underground & into tunnels, the more dirt & dust they kick up, the more the filters tend to get dirty. Some of the filters that the T.A. buys will tend not to clog up as fast as some of the others. Filters clog up due to design, material, surface area, etc. Another concern is the air conditioning manufacturer's design. One in particular chose to house their electronic controls inside a sealed box. I have seen A/C units come back on once you open the control box & allow the heat to escape. Even TVs, radios, computers, etc. have vents! The overhead A/C units in the subway cars are more reliable (especially the Kawasaki units), but the problem is the shops do not have crane structures that are long enough to reach ten car lengths. That means if you have a car that has a bad unit it has to be moved where it can be accessed by the crane for removal. Moving cars from track to track is very time consuming and sometimes cannot be made on the shift that wants it moved. There are also times when the main shops that rebuild these A/C units simply cannot keep up with the demand. This is what I learned as a Car-Inspector working on subway cars for the New York City Transit.

[@Yujin7506]

Why MTA convert the r142A to a freaking r188 R142A is better for the 6 and I need a lot of aircon as r142a have a better aircon

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Andre Er R142A conversions had to happen for Flushing Line CBTC, and since early retirement of reliable 30 year old cars (R62A) is not an option, they had to covert a lot of R142As. Also, the R62A will be getting their A/C repaired. They are reliable, but it’s just the A/C problem that they have (and it’s not like the R32s where mechanical quality is low). Westchester Yard (as well as every yard in the system) will be upping the maintenance of the cars to reduce hot car problems.

[@sonicboy678]

Westchester's upping maintenance? That's a first.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

sonicboy678 All depots will be increasing maintenance to make the cars more reliable.

It won't be 1500 cars at the end of 5 years. It'll be new cars every few weeks being delivered for 5 years.
