Yeah, 1 more 10 car unit and 1 less 8 car unit. Don’t forget that they said other options are being discussed however.

The MTA board has just confirmed that “at least 2 cars” are being added to the order, confirming the rumor of 318 cars. However, apparently they’re discussing other options with Bombardier. Byford also mentioned that 13 (8 car) trains were pulled from service, and 7 of those should be returning today.

Thanks for the information. Is there any reason they’re not running it to the rockaways?

Do you know if it will be on the A, or will it be on the C?

1. They were sent to ENY because of the summer swaps and HVAC reasons (afaik), and they were pushed out because R179s started to enter service on the C, so R32s were sent from ENY to 207th, and the C sent all of its R160s (except for 1, as of right now) to ENY. Basically, there are no more R32s on the J, and no more R160s on the C. 2. R32s are slowly being sent to the A, but for now theres still a decently even split between the R32s on the A and C. 3. All R42s are still in ENY, however they will start getting transferred soon to either 207th or Coney Island as more R179s enter service.

With R179s going from the C to the J/M/Z, and R160s from the J/M/Z going to the G, does that mean we can see R179s on the M, or does ENY have enough R160s to also keep the M 100% R160?

Are 3182-3189 and 3190-3197 still testing? Also, has 3202-3205 been delivered yet?

I’m an idiot, didnt read the last part of his post so nvm then

Theres about 5.5 R160 sets on the C if my count is correct

Not rare yet but they’re going to become more rare as the days go by

How many R160s are in 207th, and how many R160s are in ENY?

Does anyone know the status of both 34th St/7th Avenue and 34th St/8th Avenue ESI? Since the stations are getting ESI while open, so its not exactly measurable. Are either stations done?

Ah, thanks for the info.

I honestly believe they'll be sent to the A, since ENY was sending it to 207th anyways. Additionally, to what I've heard- Coney Island Yard doesn't want to deal with the R32s and R42s in service, so sending them to the A makes sense. However, thats just my opinion.

Does anyone know where R179 set 3070-3073 is? Over 120 cars have been delivered since then, and it's nowhere to be seen as far as I know.
