Train failed test due to going BIE at 111 Street. It hit debris while passing through 121st Street and that was the cause. 

Heading back to the yard.

What does BIE mean ?

will run R32, R46 and R179 and they will share fleets. 

  will be R160 and R179

will be 600 feet 8car R68s.

 

 

I like this one more simple and less switching 

What would happen with the surplus of R160s. Since when the  suppose to all R179 and the  will R160/R179

So there doing burn-in testing on the  and   Nice and smart way to find the problems with the train

In regards to the Q52, that line is currently based out of Far Rockaway, so they're trying to get people used to the artics prior to SBS. They don't have many artics.

Once SBS starts, the Q52 will be moved to JFK with all the artics at their disposal.

Wow they don’t want Far Rock to handle the artics lol shame ....

Just seen 7132 being towed back to ENY

R32 and R42 cannot run through Montague, or on lines which run through Montague in a diversion, nor can they run on the F due to the large number of passengers it handles.

Since when R32 can’t run on the  don’t the  and  runs the almost close the number of passengers 

Seen a video about the 10-Car set return to Pitkin after being at Coney Is

The new Nova scheme looks way better than the XD60s new scheme

And both 8 car sets are currently at Pitkin chilling lol

More r179 testing along the A/C.

Can't wait for these trains to be in service already

Same here ! But why only 5 cars only ?!?!

52 buses for the S53/93 (not counting other LFS with bike racks), then 38 for the S79. That sounds like a good idea.

Where would YUK NGs go ?

Has GH always been short on buses ?!?! Because I see they have new XD60s which I know it temporary

How come the 10-Car train has some many problems but with the 8-Car train you don't hear anything plus they already start the simulated stops test on the ?!?!?!?

So ENY will get them first. That's make sense

Wasn't an 8 car set JUST doing AAS testing? By the time the 160's started that they went into service like a month and a week later.

And isn't a full 8-Car set at 207th. Surely theyre prepping the crew to use them

Is it me or does the R179 left all those station really quickly or maybe it could be a 8car train ?

Soooooo 70 cars are to be delivered by years end ????????????. Would when the production of these cars will start hitting

Does any body know when the other 8 car set will be arriving ? I saw it a couple pages back that MTA wants 207 & ENY to get familiar with the 179s
