Daniel The Cool Posted July 11, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2009 I was coming home from Downtown and when I arrived at W 34th Street, I saw an R160B testing on the ( heading uptown saying to Bedford Park Blvd and I even heard the announcement saying this is a Bronx ( train Next Stop is W 42nd Street and I know it was testing because I saw it open doors opposite side. So Now I'm Wondering is the going to get R160Bs? and the last car number was 9812. I hope it dosen't get R160Bs. I love the R68/R68As on the lines.

KTrainExp Posted July 12, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 12, 2009 No, that's just the daily baths the R160s get. You can catch an R160 everyday at around 1 PM along the Concourse sections of the ( and lines. As for the testing, the scene does seem legitimate.

R44 5278 Posted July 12, 2009 Share #25 Posted July 12, 2009 To the people that want the C to have R68/As: They won't be put in until all R46s are gone and once again the Fulton/8th Avenue gets the oldest fleet. So it's either wait for an even newer fleet to arrive or get the oldest fleet of the system. Trust me as much as I love the R68/As, I would definitely not prefer the latter.
