MattTrain Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share #16 Posted July 18, 2008 Why would programmers set up an R160B on the Brighton line as if it was initially an train? I know that confusion is to be avoided. The was supposed to be given R160B cars by this month or in the fall. I've seen R160B trains on the ( and as test trains, but I've never thought to see the R160B in revenue service. So that R160B train set was supposed to be an ?

Second, made a mistake saying that word "official" a day before something is suppose to happen. Hell, we would've heard it from an inside long by now. Third, the train signed as a to avoid confusion down the line as like they did once before last December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW, I am confused? :confused: I think what RTOMan was trying to sayto you is that by signing that train as a (Q)uincy you avoid the problems with leaving it signed up as a (N)ovember...like geese banging down the train crew's windows to ask them either if the train is lost or if they have the wrong sign up, or if the train is REALLY going to make stops along the Brighton (which of course it's physically impossible NOT to but you'd be surprised by the way some people treat rerouted trains...)

MattTrain Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share #25 Posted July 28, 2008 The Media has said it over and over again, the is to get R160B cars before the and the gets them after the and riders are forced to play the waiting game for those cars. I don't like broken promises:mad:, especially when the media and the news hype this stuff up. The Media got this wrong big time. has no R160B yet. the Daily News, Post, Times said that the and were supposed to get R160B's as back as October of Last year. Well, the R68 and R68A are doing great on , I can wait a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
