... sooner than expected. Today from my school yard along I saw a set of

R68s undergoing testing in the rockaways along the (A) line. This wasn't the first time. This was the second. The first was a couple of weeks ago. What could this mean...

It would have been nice if you would provide pictures. But I seriously doubt R68s will be coming to the Fulton Street line anytime soon.

 

I was in school. The first set was from the concourse yard. It was signed up for the (:(/(D).

Have you ever thought that some people don't have a camera???

 

Yes I have, but something like this needs proof to be backed up. Also, you would have the same reaction if I or someone else had said Slants were running on the (A) or the Low-Vs ran today.

If the Slants were running today I'd go hunting for them! I have all day. And I have a reliable source or two of my own who can back certain stuff up should I be in doubt.

And you just proved my point! You would call someone to prove what I stated was true or not.

You just proved as well that a picture is not always needed either. My friend often spots R32 (A) trains and gives me a time the train is leaving a certain station and I'll calculate it down to the times provided by the timetable when it will be coming my day. It's how I caught the R32 (;) train twice without having to wait anymore than 5 minutes. Pics are not always needed either. :(

Sorry to bust your bubble.

 

That track is a test track and all kinds of equipment are subject to be there for acceleration and braking tests.

 

There are no plans to bring anything else other than R46's to replace the R32's to the A and C lines in the immediate future.

Thank you.
