R33WF Posted April 28, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2015 The last of the R160s were deliver to 207St yard. Car # were 9967-9970. 9971-9974 were deliver on 4/26/10. Here are some pictures & videos I took from that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missabassie Posted April 28, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 28, 2015 The MTA should've purchased 300-360 more of these, and they might've saved themselves a little R179 trouble...Ooorrr, maybe not...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted April 28, 2015 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2015 I have a question about these cars... I remember seeing one in Manhattan being transported in the same fashion that the first picture illustrates. How are these cars usually delivered? Are they brought in one-by-one like that? If so that seems like a VERY tedious task. Also, I remember when I was in college, Bombardier would test the first new cars that the and have up in Plattsburgh. I assume they must transport these along the I-87? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
