When I got on a PM rush R46 for the first time (5774-5777 and 5486-5489), the looks on people’s faces said it all... Almost every single person hesitated to enter, with several asking if this is actually a train... One even asked why such an old train is even running here.

I can confirm that there is an R46 in regular service on the , not just short-turns, this was at 6:15 PM today...:

If we take the fact that prior to the swap, the F used 14 R46 trains, and the R used 31, and the N/W collectively used 29 R160 trains, while the Q used 21, there are clearly enough R46 trains to cover all of the N/W's R160s as well as the entirety of the G (though the G may be keeping its R68s), still having a considerable amount of trains left over for use by the B/Q... However, I'm still not sure how car assignments will fully play out, we'll have to wait and see for ourselves.

Rumor has it that Andy Byford has quit... EDIT: It’s true... and they already have a replacement

Just saw a NIS R46 heading CI-bound on Broadway, idk if it’s a transfer or not but two of the car numbers are 5540/5541

I just saw a 4-car not-in-service R46 on the Culver el going towards Coney Island right now, any idea what that’s about?

Hmm... If the can’t turn at 72nd for the time being because there is no third track, then what if a connection is made to the southbound SAS from 63rd west of 2nd Avenue and then when 55th St Station is built, it could be built with 3 tracks. Even though the might curve backwards a bit, 55th can offer transfers to the and , while at the same time making the able to run at full capacity. What do you guys think of that idea?

It’s pretty much almost like the Broadway Local is coming back for a weekend lol

April fools

@peacemak3r I was one of the kids at Kings Hwy to take videos, but also, it’s standing at Brighton Beach right now. Kinda weird seeing an R46 on the Brighton (even with the morning Q)

There was an R68 on the just now on the Brighton line portion...

Too late for me xD So it only goes to Coney as a Q and that's it?

Wait wait wait..., So, where exactly does the R46 Q from CONEY ISLAND to 96th Street come from, and at approximately what time?

What if we could do this: Canarsie: : Canarsie to Bedford/Lorimer Orange or gray Canarsie to 96th-2nd via Canarsie, Bway Brooklyn, 6th, and 2nd Avenue lines (Rush, nights, weekends) Bway/Brooklyn: Regular Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

They put up countdown clocks on Brighton, any idea when they'll be activated? Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

Due to a derailed train at Brighton Beach, southbound trains are running express between Kings Highway and Brighton Beach. trains are suspended in both directions. All I can say is... Oh woooow I'm assuming that was an R160... Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

Ok... Everyone was just spreading rumors, so I wanted to know the truth. That's all. If you were to give a date for when it would go into service, what would it be? Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
