PATCOman Posted July 15, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 15, 2009 Only if a ( is rerouted to Astoria or if there is a G.O. on the which sends it to Astoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Flexible #823 Posted July 15, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 15, 2009 The only lines where you can find an R68/R68A on are the( and (Q)Lines. It's now an extreme rarity where one would show up on the or . They used to show up during the rush hours only but I guess they are now covered with R160s.

BroadwayBuffer Posted July 15, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 15, 2009 I'm sure there is still a slim possibility that an R-68 could show up on either line, but you'd be wasting your time to wait for one at this point. For Astoria, as posted, wait for a G.O. w/ the to Astoria. If you want the Brooklyn , the will occasionally run to/from Stillwell via the Sea Beach, so you could probably still find R-68s on the line at some point if it's important enough.
