N-Trizzy2609 Posted July 12, 2009 Share #27 Posted July 12, 2009 Ok for everybody over here, the R160s are not hitting Concourse at all. The might get R160s only if its needed which mean as a rush hour put-in. This is NOT confirmed until we have solid evidence. The R160s will eventually pop up as rush hour put in for the for sure.

trainfan22 Posted July 12, 2009 Share #28 Posted July 12, 2009 I wound'nt be surprised if the ran R160s eventually. I mean it would make life easier for the dispatchers at CI yard, the & lines are already running the 160s so why not the ? Also if theres an delay in CI bound (Q6) service and theres an R160 train on the brighton line, that 160 could turn into an . Anyways I'm lovin' the car assignments on the & lines right now, its R68/A heaven the is 100% 68/As and theres more 68s than 160s on the line most days. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R160's entered Jamaica pushing out R46's to replace the R40's on the . Now the R160's entering Jamaica yard are pushing out the old SMEE's to the scrap line. Once Jamaica has no more R32-R42, R160's will push out more of the R46's to the to replace the R32's.

It would make sense for them to run them out of CI with the 160's, instead of Concourse and have to change signs on the 68's. I even sent in a suggestion for this.

So? That doesn't matter. The still runs a lot of R68/A's and the Franklin is fully R68. A yard could have more than one type of car. Example: The are part of Jamaica yard. As of now Jamaica has 60' SMEE's, R46's, and R160's. As of now The runs 60' SMEE's and R46's. The runs R160's. The runs R46's and R160's. The runs R46's. Every line out of the same yard do not have to use the same equipment as each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted July 14, 2009 Share #43 Posted July 14, 2009 As stated, just because they are testing the 160s on a line does not mean they will be assigned to them. One good thing about the 160s is the FIND. Its designed to be flexible to allow route changes and future equipment swaps between routes and lines. ALL B division routes will be programed into these cars for any future route assignments. With over 1000 cars that have arrived, arriving or is currently being built, the R160 will basically be the largest fleet of any one type or current railcar. and having all routes programmed would also make future car orders easier to set up when they arrive i.e. the R179s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Posted July 14, 2009 Share #44 Posted July 14, 2009 Today around 12:15 at W4 on the 6 ave line I saw a Not in Service R160 heading uptown on the B/D line. Maybe there is a chance it might go to concourse after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted July 14, 2009 Share #45 Posted July 14, 2009 Today around 12:15 at W4 on the 6 ave line I saw a Not in Service R160 heading uptown on the B/D line. Maybe there is a chance it might go to concourse after all. let me be clear on this, just because you see a train at a certain yard or testing on a certainn line does not mean you will see them in revenue service. a new train has to be tested on every line in the division, regardless of where (NYCT) plans to put them. the reason R160s are tested on the ( is because it is maintained at Coney Island, where the are also stored and they use those cars. workers are assigned by yards, not route, so if a ( train worker suddenly has to work on the , he/she must know how to operate an R160. stop making the assumption that you see a train testing on a particular line means that you will see it in revenue service in the future.

Maybe there is a chance it might go to concourse after all. Once again, you fail to realize that the R160s go up along Concourse to take their daily showers. You will ALWAYS see an R160 sitting at Concourse or sitting at Bedford's Middle Track during middays because the R160s go up there for car washes. I have seen an R160 EVERY DAY for the past month going up there, so it's a common sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted July 19, 2009 Share #48 Posted July 19, 2009 At most, it could be a burn test. But like what Konvicted said, it morely like is, a "shower". I've seen R160Bs hanging out at Concourse near the "shower" a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
