  1. This is the smallest annoyance ever but the the one thing that triggers me is the signs that display LOC instead of LCL. I think they are doing it on the R142s.
  2. I might be remembering this wrong but I swear I've seen some trains that just say "168 St" That might have been during the R160 swap with the though I can't quite remember
  3. Definitely the most comprehensive list I've seen so far! There are a few missing but you've got most of them for sure. Thank you very much!
  4. I'm starting to think that you didn't even open it lol, it's not entirely accurate whatsoever being from 2020
  5. Pretty sure the has some R160As as well, and the some R160Bs Guess Jamaica just alternates the pool like @NewFlyer 230 said
  6. Exactly what I was looking for. Wish it was easier to find this information. Although I'm starting to see that is isn't accurate myself because I know for a fact that the is using some R160Bs, ***and I also just read the date was 2020*** Now if only I could find the programs...
  7. If this has been asked before, direct me to the respective thread. I was wondering where we can view current R160 yard assignments, if they are available to the public that is. I know you can sort of see this information on Wikipedia, but there's really no distinction between the R160A and R160B assignments between the yards. Also, is there anywhere that we can see the available NTT programs, I guess this goes for both the R160 and R179; I'm honestly curious to see what sorts of wild programs are out there. I've seen the K shuttle on some R179s, and have heard that some of them even have the V program. So if anyone knows where I can find this information, of if it's even available to the public at all, I'd be very grateful for your help.
  8. That's why you want to do something like this in phases. Use the money you have to at least alleviate some of the overcrowding while you work on obtaining more of it. Someone above said the 2030s is when we'd start seeing the , and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the late 2030s. With that being said, I'd anticipate a small rise in the fares to help shorten this timeline, and as more and more systems are being built, this makes the research / development and construction costs a little cheaper (not that much, but anything helps). Definitely helps to have the people on your side as well, if you can prove to them the additional line has a greater overall benefit to the system as a whole, this could help tremendously with funding. Wouldn't really bet on that option though.
  9. Don't see it happening with the , but the are going to get them for sure due to overcrowding. If they're in Jamaica I'd also expect the and possibly the to use them as well. Don't know if ENY will get them, seems like they're finally getting the R179s under control
  10. This account lives on...

  11. Was a mess on the today. We were delayed for 2 hours. Stuck at Church, Parkside, between Prospect and 7th, between DeKalb and the Bridge, and between 8 and 14 for a LONG time. Ended up having to re - schedule our train to Virginia. This is what I saw; via Broadway Local and VERY delayed via tunnel to Whitehall St via Broadway Express to 57 St They told us multiple times at Church Av downtown via 6 Av Local to 2 Av and possibly some running up Culver or Sea Beach who knows... It was a mad house out there.
  12. I also don't see how the would be affected. Buses run between 65 St and Jamaica Center Chambers St to Queens Plaza (Some trains via QBL Local to 65 St) Coney Island to 21 / Queensbridge (Some trains via QBL Local to 65 St) Shuttle Union Turnpike to 179 St (Trains skip Van Wyck and Stuphin Blvds) No Changes Metropolitan Av to Chambers / Broad St 95 St to 65 St
