R62A 1991 Posted March 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2010 Hello all! I've been back in NY for a week today after returning from Florida. I've ridden an R160 multiple times on every line it runs on except the and have found no frozen F.I.N.D.s so far, which pleases me. I've also been using the along 14th St a lot lately to get to meetings, and I like the ATO; it is very, very fast. The R62s are holding up well on the although we've been getting the lights off over 3rd rail gaps lately. I wanted to visit Rockaway Park since it's been 4 years since I went, and it is going to rain on Monday and Tuesday. The Q35 was extremely speedy after Kings Plaza and down Newport Av. Here are some photos from there: There were two R46s and one R44. One of the R46s were 2 A-A sets. A lot of work trains were there today as well: Then, I hitched up to Broad Channel: Unfortunately, a family would not move into the platform, so that's the only shot I got of that train. Then an came speeding in: And the shuttle came back on the other track: Then, a dilemma: That's a new R160. But, This was approaching to Manhattan. With 16 minutes to the next train, I couldn't stay because I had a meeting to get to. So, I snapped these quickly: And got on the R44, then ditched it at Euclid for a ride on the 100% R32 to Jay St. But, the RFW was way too filthy to take videos, which was disappointing. I believe the numbers of the R160 were 9777-9782, but I could be mistaken. Later on, I saw that the Brooklyn IRT is finally testing its new display boards at Franklin Avenue: Hopefully they last. Two videos: And, that's all for today, and probably this time. Hope you enjoyed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Car 09 Posted March 19, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 19, 2010 Nice day for the Rockaways and caught a fresh R160.I always notice the R44 has crinkly looking sheetmetal compared to the R46 which has smoother metal.Any logic behind this?

Grand Concourse Posted March 20, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 20, 2010 R160s are usually there for testing. It's only testing and not like it's in service. So it's not really that big a surprise. As for the pics: nice job. Nice to see more R46s on the A and the S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
