train fanatic 12

Why was moved from Brighton Line in 1986 to 4 Av? What was the purpose of the going to Bay Parkway at that time?

Do You think the is ever coming back

Only seemed to affect the the past few weeks. The makes a quick dash between Prospect Park and Newkirk Plaza in both directions, only slowing down when descending the ramp at Avenue H. I wonder if the slow order affects a longer length along outer tracks.

I think it's the Traffic Jam that's between Parkside Av and Prospect Park

A train was sent out there a while back...R160. Got fried.

Did it run out of energy or do you mean the car shut down?

That problem was resolved.

Mr Hammers when was this issue resolved. The R160s never touched Rockaway's rails after 2006. The farest the R160s would go is only the Flats between Broad Channel and Howard Beach. When the R160s was in the Rockaway's the HAVC  would go off and on. Trains would lose power, then gain power. If you can argue when was last time you saw a test train R160 or regular R160 in Rockaway's?

This photo was taken by Anthony Maimone. The car was R-160A-2 (Alstom, 2005-2008, 5 car sets) 8653. No doubt it was my most favorite train ever. We will get them back soon. The NTTs (B Div.) [Excluding the R110B], were first put on the . The First R160A in service was put on the . I will never forget this train, and I hope to see it in the near future, depending on where they put the R179s.

 

The  will never get any R160s ever in it's life time again.  It will most definitely get R179. There was power problems in Rockaway's which got them taken off the . R160s were incompatible with LIPA. 

Theres more r160s running on the C line just like 2013.
