Well, the only way to prove it is you camping out at any train station.

It's true. Some genius thought that all R4s should be off the in the event that some one takes a wrong line up at Bway-Lafayette and goes via the BJ tracks to Essex. They must have forgotten that trains run 10 cars can that they don't platform anywhere along the line. It's a stupid decision but it was made by management so what else is new.

Granted you're getting your info from Wikipedia, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

what would do more damage in case it wound up down there, a 10- 60foot cars, or a train of 75 footers?

Yes! Finally! I hate R46 trains. R160 FTW!! The is so crowded and R46s make them so much more crowded. I always thought R160s handle the (F)'s large crowds much more better

The Jamaica R160 could go through the cut, have the first 5 cars open first, then have the operator go slowly through and open the back 5 cars

Awww man. B) I liked the 46's on the . It sometimes gets annoying hearing that Alstom propulsion over and over again. Everytime I caught a 46 on the , the t/o had the cab door about one-two inches opened. I'm gonna miss peaking through their to see the speed, controlls, etc.

2 trains of 75' cars can't pass each other north of Essex St getting on the bridge, they would hit each other. A 10 car train of 60' cars won't have the same problem, but the last 2 cars would open to a 30' drop to the street below. What they should do is deactivate the punch at the 10 car marker at Bway if they have not done so already.

YANKEESPWNMETS I SHOULD HAX YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING SO MEAN! R46s were the best cars that ran off the . And it may not be true anyway since wiki lies about several topics.

As a daily rider, R160s absolutely PWN your R46

Theres two sets of buttons? If thats the case why even have the option there at teh 10 car marker? unless they were anticipating platform extensions on the Jamaica line

Not really! I am a daily rider as well during the school year and when I'm tired , and in a jank mood , nothing makes me feel better than taking that good old R46 train. It brightens my school morning and my morning brightens my day overall.

I'm really glad R46s ran on the ! Most train riders will be crushed since they preferred R46s anyway.

Because the used to punch there too.

You know , I'm glad I got plenty of shots for R46s on the . Now I'm making a slideshow to make a nice farewell to THE train. Since we have Some trains now.

a train is an R160. THE train is the awesome R46 subway car. End of story!

:cry: So long R46s on the . They and the R32 Brightliners on the were the best cars on the Queens Boulevard express.

I guess this will mean the and will be all R160s.

Who cares. Both get you from point A to point B. Now get off the computers and go outside, do something productive. The weather is too nice to be online arguing about which car is "better".

That's a dumb idea as an R160 could still end up at Essex as well. The train could platform but the first five cars would be able to platform while the rear cars wouldn't.

Yea, I know. No matter what, any line T/O who takes 3 yellows south of Bway will be in deep sh*t.

Itll probrably start a citywide controversy on whether the Chrystie St Cut should be used if something like a R46 derails or if a ending over over the Willy B

Seeing as how the cut has been around since '67, I doubt that at all. R46s can go through the cut too, they can even go all the way to Metropolitan Av or as far as Bway Junction. They just can't pass each other coming off the bridge.

Out of curiosity, how many trains have ended up on Chrystie St over the years? It doesn't sound like that something that happens often, especially considering the cut has been around for over 40 years.

OMG! This is SHOCKING! I can't believe that all the R46's are gone from the . I would have thought 1 would make an appearance but damn! I have many great memories of riding them on the from when I was 7 to now at 31 and I will miss them on that line, that's for sure. Luckily, they are still running and I can catch them on the or lines. All isn't lost but damn.

I would guess none.

I don't think any have gone up there that have not ment to go there. I would hate to be the T/O who takes that wrong line up.
