Random but yesterday at 135th on the I was about to get on board on a R179 on the and it casually went out of service due to "malfunctions" and I was confused as to where the problem was but we all got off and waited for the following train afterwards.. the irony when I got on the express and met up with the NIS R179 at 14th Street.
this is random but I know this is the correct thread, when would 8th avenue CBTC start? there has been so much construction this part weekend I'm thinking it's for CBTC. I'm probably certain it's delayed and such.
I feel like they added all the R179s on 8th avenue again because this weekend has been rolling them all out on the and , also caught a few random R160s both Alstom and Siemens ones. Would they have sent the ones that belonged to the back or at least to either pitkin or CI yards?
when I was out yesterday around 4-5 R179s hit the A line (I was on one myself), one on the C and like 2-3 on the J. I wonder how long before we get issues again.
