Railfaner100 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted March 12, 2010 Why are the R160A-1's on the train so rare to catch? Sometimes it takes me a while to keep on waiting for an R160A-1 on the that it makes me wonder why are they not so common like the R143's which are the easiest to catch on the train?

North-Eastern T/O Posted March 16, 2010 Share #15 Posted March 16, 2010 The R160's don't have ATO (not the current ones anyway) Not all of the R160a1's are CBTC ready.

lilbluefoxie Posted March 16, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 16, 2010 I remember reading an article, when they ordered the R143s, they only ordered enough for the at the time and didn't expect the huge ridership growth on the line, and they had to put R42s back on there for a lil' while longer till the R160s came online, thats why the isnt exclusively R143s but the R143s are exclusive to the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why you would wait for one train and let several others pass by. When did the train first started getting the R160A-1's? Mid-2007.
