As you can see, each line has a name and a specific color. The 8th Ave line for instance is always blue, while the Broadway - 7th Ave line is always red. Don't worry about the line names too much. Even locals often don't know the official name of a given line and you'll see later why.
Within each line, there are a few services which are each designated with a single letter or a single number. We refer to these services as just "trains". For instance, within the "blue" 8th Ave line there are three services which are A, C and E. Similarly, the 1, 2 and 3 services on the "red" Broadway-7th Ave line run along Broadway and 7th Ave, but they do start and end at different stations. It's confusing to say that you are taking the "blue" 8th Ave line, because the three services within them A, C and E go to entirely different endpoints and even stop at different stations on the same shared path.
This is the reason why locals don't refer to lines by their names or even color. People never say, "Take the green" or "Take the red line"; Instead they say, "Take the 4 train" or "Take the 2 train". Even though a line and a service have different meanings, you will find that colloquially the word "line" is sometimes used when "service" or "train" is meant. For instance, "Let's take the 4 line to Yankee Stadium" is technically incorrect, but the single number 4 implies that we are talking about the 4 service.
Trains are either express or local. Express trains skip certain stations for faster service, while local trains stop at every station along their path.
From the above table, you can see that the 2 and 3 trains are generally express trains, but the 1 train is a local train. Similarly, on the 8th Ave line, the A train will generally run express while the C train will always run local. Unfortunately, trains are not reliably express or local along their entire route.
An express train can become a local train at some time. This transition is very subtle and you would not even notice while riding the train. The transition from express to local service usually occurs when train services split from their shared portion of the track. For instance, the 1, 2 and 3 trains share a common track between 96th St station uptown and Chamber St. Between those two stations, the 2 and 3 trains run express and will skip certain stations.
However, right after Chamber St, where the 2 and 3 trains split from the 1 train, they become local trains and will stop at every stop thereafter. To make matters worse, some train services, such as the 6 or 7, can either be express or local depending on the time and direction of travel, which is why for those lines only, their icon on the outside of the trains can be either a circle local or a diamond express. The Rs are equipped with the latest control systems, HVAC, and public address systems to guarantee the utmost safety and passenger comfort.
Like the Rs, RAs, and Rs, the Rs feature the electronic strip map with all stops on the 7 route with an indicator that can be set to either a local or express train. This modification was done to make it easier for passengers to differentiate between an express or a local train.
In the following year, car had the LCD destination indicator parts of its destination signs replaced with LED panels to make it aesthetically similar to the aforementioned route display.
It is currently unknown if the remainder of the rolling stock will be retrofitted with these features. In April , car was equipped with a special test truck, replacing the original truck found on other cars. In September , cars — were fitted with new LCD advertisement screens, replacing the traditional paper advertisements that are usually located there.
At the time that the R order was placed, 40 eleven-car sets of R62As were assigned to the 7 service. The R order originally consisted of new cars, as well as converted RA cars compatible with communication-based train control CBTC and an additional RA conversion kits for the MTA, totaling a possible cars, or 46 eleven-car trains. Of these cars, are arranged in five-car sets while the remaining are arranged in six-car sets.
The trains are configured so that the five-car consist on each train is located on the Manhattan-bound end and the six-car consist is located on the Main Street-bound end, due to the position of conductor's boards on platforms along the 7 route. According to the — capital plan, new cars were to be purchased. Of these new cars, cars would go to make up 10 new eleven-car trains, while the remaining 36 cars were to be 'C' cars that would go to expanding 36 CBTC upgraded RA five-car sets existing cars to six-car lengths.
The original planned total of 46 eleven-car trains cars would still result from this order. If you would like assistance with notifications this may be something we can help you with, simply email Support Mapway.
