Interesting to see Railroad equipment operating with the subway equipment. That R32 has definitely seen a lot on its lifetime. It’s been to all 5 boroughs now
Very good question I wouldn’t even laugh at that. But yeah I can see it’s too tall but can somebody answer this question. What is the width of the Diesel? Because when I see it pulling the R44’s or R46’s it seems to be the same with as New York City transit’s IND/BMT trains. And not the width size of Diesels used on MTA”s Long Island RR or N.J.Transit. The reason why I was curious about that is because The platforms are perfect for the R44s and R211, there is no big gap. And if that is true, none of the Long Island rail Road and New Jersey transit diesels can be used on Staten Island railway because their diesels are to wide….. so can anybody answer the question, what is the width size of those Staten Island diesels?
Fascinating, thank you! 777's prime mover appears to cycle up and down - suggests the laser treatment is powered by HEP from 777, or am I missing something? \m/
SIR's BL20Gs do not have HEP, hence why the loco name is missing a "H". The Laser car has its own generator. The throtle modulation you're hearing is just the engineer maintaining speed.
R32. R32 has the corrugated ribbing from the chassis to the roof, but R38 has it abbreviated going only to the top of the pantagraph gates. We were taught "thirty eight to the gate" in schoolcar as a means of instant identification.

I have a feeling the staten island transit community will take better care of the R32 than the yards in brooklyn. They already look cleaner
The Pitkin Yard in Brooklyn is the worst.
Can these fit on the MTA New York City Subway?
Imagine being on elevated track and thinking it’s a metro north train on the J line 🤣
No, lol.
@@gregorygricelol!
No, these engines are way too tall.
That is why the r156 exists

I saw metro north gp35r rescuing the danbury branch

It look like a r32

I thought these were metro north bl20gh’s
No "H". Lol
R32 or r38
