  1. There must be an equal effort to ensure working fare machines at every location where fare enforcement takes place. Otherwise, those that cannot pay any fare because none of the fare machines are working properly are criminalized. I have witnessed this countless times where NYPD is posted up at a station entrance for fare enforcement only to stand around and let people in themselves when none of the fare machines are accepting cash. Not everyone always has a bank card or balance readily available for use, and if putting a $5 bill on a Metrocard instead of going into overdraft is too difficult because there are no operable fare machines accepting cash it's inevitable people will have no choice but to wait until the fare gate opens.
  2. 3762's farebox has been spotted on 9319 this morning, most likely retired.
  3. 4257 is currently on the Q11. I don't see it mentioned being transferred from LGA to JFK in this thread as far back as mid-February however apologies if this was already reported.
  4. It is in Clifton Shop with Test Train signs still in the window and blue tape on the top corners as of this post. Edit: I've also observed some stations have "R5" and "C5" markers (along with "R3 and C3") while others do not.
  5. 4150-4159 is currently burn-in testing heading to Far Rockaway at ENY as of 11:10PM. I've never witnessed burn-in testing occuring this late before. A few seconds before this, 4170-4179 showed up going Local with blank signage on the South end of the train. It's been running like this all day.
  6. 4060-4069 has notably been used for School Car recently. It is currently heading south towards the Rockaways at around 8PM. The trainset could use a wash. One of the flip-up seats in 4069 seems to be sagging.
  7. To confirm once more this set is currently running heading Northbound at Euclid. Looking at it as I'm typing this.
  8. (North) 4160-4164 + 4140-4144 (South) Spotted by myself yesterday several times to and from Far Rockaway. Also witnessed 4150-4159 burn-in testing yesterday as well.
  9. (North) 4195-4199 + 4194-4190 (South) in service as of this morning. Spotted at Canal Street going Northbound at around 11:20AM. Edit: Something is up with cell service underground, this took about 10 minutes to post. The above post somehow made it first.
  10. The equipment assigned on the Rockaway is primarily R-179, however R-46 sets can be used if needed. This entire previous weekend the shuttle consisted of two R-46 and one R-179 (happened to be the pilot R-179 set, 3010-3014) . No. Most often the equipment running on the is shared with what is laid up at Rockaway Park between Rush Hours.
  11. It was a test train. I witnessed a 5-car R-211 signed as at Broad Channel Layup while on a passing Q53 bus. Turns out it was 4190-4194 testing on the Test Track.
  12. Were these spotted in Nebraska or Yonkers? I've been told 105-109 are at Yonkers and would like to know if this is true or not.
  13. 13+ years on this site! 🤯 THANK YOU NYCTF for being an awesome resource and a place to share useful Transit Information.

    Fun Fact: This is the last place online where I use my original username from 2009 (along with YouTube). You may find me at Trackwerk or "R46 5636" on social media or other forums.

  14. I have been hearing Coney's 5754-5755-5757-5756 and possibly another set has been retired and has been separated sitting in the back of Coney. This explains the one R-160 filling in for a Coney run throughout the day if true. 5754 was the first R-46 built under number 500. Has anyone seen this set in service recently?
