MattTrain Posted January 20, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2010 I'm so temped to saying the R160s finally hit the line, but no. It must be a test train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But politics do shape the way that the R160s are currently distributed, except for the Jamaica EL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted January 20, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 20, 2010 I Agree. But politics do shape the way that the R160s are currently distributed, except for the Jamaica EL. And so do the needs of service which over power politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted January 20, 2010 Share #7 Posted January 20, 2010 They are burning tests on the Fulton as always, but due to politics they cannot run there. Why would politics force the R160s off the Fulton line? Shouldn't it be the other way around that people would want a 'new train' running on their line?

R160s CAN run on the , and there is absolutely NO power issue in the Rockaways because R160s are tested out in the Rockaways, and all of the line rather.

I was shocked & think it was signed up as or ( I saw that same set and I have a video of it, which will be uploaded later. It was an 8 car set, so it was probably a 160A-1.
