Catching a R68/A W

[Q25toJamaica 9]

How many sets of R68s or R68As still run on the and is it reasonable to find one easily? I want to record one for an important project.Any information is appreciated

I havent seen any in a while theres only R160s. Your best chance would be around the Astoria line.. Like Astoria Blvd or the Term..

A C/R friend of mine was working both the and the last pick and he told me both are 100% R160 and the same is true this pick.

So is there pretty much no chance of finding one at all anymore?

Only if a ( is rerouted to Astoria or if there is a G.O. on the which sends it to Astoria.

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.

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.

A little off topic but you would have no problem finding R68/A's on the .

There were plenty of them on the on Sunday. Back to topic, the is all R160 now.
