  1. In my opinion, I think that they belong on the Brighton Line. That is where they first started service, so I'd prefer them on the . In the late 80's, they first appeared on the and .
  2. Also, I saw a Manhattan bound train bypassing Kings Highway, however it was empty. Any ideas on where it went? Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app Probably because the FIND screen already has ads on it. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  3. I was on an R68 Today!!! It was at Kings Highway at around 2:45 PM. I'll try to post a video later. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  4. I notice the propulsion doesn't have a dip in pitch and is monotone at the end, kind of like the R160 Siemens, and not like the R142A's 143's and 188's. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  5. For me, it's: 1. R142A/R188 and R143 2. R179 (I feel like it's a mix of Siemens and MITRAC 1580C) 3. R160 Siemens 4. R142/R160 If the R110A would count, I would put it as #2. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  6. There's nothing written in it though but that is really funny xD Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  7. I think the N and the S in Not In Service is bolded. It's the same font, but without the bold. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  8. Exactly! There is a quite obvious difference between the R160s and the R179s from the look of it. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  9. and trains both run to 57th Street or 42nd Street in Manhattan. service operates in two sections: 34th St-Hudson Yards to Court Square, and Woodside-61st Street to Main Street. operates between Woodside-61st Street and Main Street. Shuttle buses run between Court Square and 61st Street, and between Court Square and Ditmars Blvd Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  10. The interior display on the ceiling looks longer and sharper-edged than the R160's. That really stands out for some reason. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  11. What's up with the orange ??? I have never heard of that before... Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  12. Wow! There's just one thing that really bugs me... The never mentioned anything about the to/from 86th street on their announcements. I guess it's because there are few trains there. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  13. Well, the conductor did announce the running local to Prospect Park. My friends haven't used the subway for forever, since they all used to use the overcrowded B49. Anyway, this week I had to wait till 3 PM for the next local... It was 2:45 anyway, so I took the wait. The Brighton line has annoyed me for the past year.

  14. I would run the via 6th Avenue from West 4th Street via the on the 63rd St line and have the run local, the would go to 57th Street, and I would extend the to its pre-2010 route to 71st Avenue, of course with full length trains. service would remain uncanged, except for some reroutes to 96th Street. As for the , service would remain unchanged except for the skipping of Court Square.
  15. I'm just going to pretend that the R179 order didn't even exist. Can Bombardier screw things up even further? Actually, can we just finish this order up?
  16. I rode a R68 today, and the maps had the in it and were dated November 2016.
  17. I've had the same happen to me, except for the fact that the was the one who pulled up on the Manhattan bound local track on the Brighton Line. I told my friends they would make the same stops as the , but they wouldn't get on. LOL. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  18. Well, the goes to Astoria and Lower Manhattan, something that the can't do.
  19. I'm just waiting for the SAS to open...

  20. Well, What if this happens to the R179? http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/04/22/new-bart-train-car-crashes-during-hayward-test-run/ Note that both the R179 and the new BART cars are both by Bombardier. Good thing it crashed on a test track.
  21. How is it even possible for the digital signs to play the same characters as the interior? Also, what does the 001 mean? Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  22. Yeah, they actually came near my school... Right near the subway station... Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  23. Nice! Me too. Did you see that thread I made about Minecraft subway-related builds? You can share it there too. I haven't posted anything there in a while. My Minecraft IGN is Tony515. Anyway, I just went off topic in an off topic thread, so here is what I listen to sometimes:https://youtu.be/bHNczNvOnGc The Llama Song Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  24. Omg xD By any chance do you even play minecraft? And that song...Potato knishes I love potato knishes The animations are really funny too Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  25. Wasn't the 2010 service change plan to eliminate the and put the in its place at first? Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
