I don't think they are going too retire lol they are new technology trains the old trains like the r62/a R42 r46 r44 r68/a r36 are not new trains they are very old trains but trains like the r179 r160/B r142/a r188 trains are not going to retire anytime soon they are going to have CBTC instilled too them
Fun Fact: The MTA didn't exist when the subway system(s) were built. The Original owners of the subway systems were: IRT (1-7 lines) IND (A-G lines) and BMT/BRT (J-Z lines). So the people who build the curves at every street were IRT (Interborough Rapit Transit - Now Defunct) So lemme just retype your comment: "The IRT made a huge mistake following street turns as now they have this 90 degree tight turn which could have been avoided." Also you spelled which as with
What a loud, noisy station. You would think that with today’s technology they would figure out a way to reduce it. The subway drove me out of NYC as it gave me PTSD. Thankfully I now live in quiet Montana.
