CTK246 Posted June 30, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2010 In light of the and elimination, what do you think the MTA is going to do with the and (W)'s R160s? Hopefully they transfer them to the ( and lines, but knowing the MTA, they will probably store them at a yard. What do YOU think they are going to do with the remaining trains?

Art Vandelay Posted June 30, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2010 The V had none assigned, so there is nowhere for them to go. The W line R160s, as well as some of the N line R160s went to the Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTK246 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted June 30, 2010 I heard some things about the ( may get 160's and the .(From the crews) That's smart. The and already has enough 160s, why would they need more? I think it would of been smarter to put them on the line. It's in need of a serious upgrade. It's simply tragic when an R32 closes on people and don't open back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted June 30, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 30, 2010 The runs 8-car trains, there's not enough cars for it to run a 10-car train. And why shouldn't the R160s go on the and ? They have them because: Astoria-Ditmars may sometimes cause trains to be switched and the will have 2 daily terminals. There's no need to put them on any other line.

Grand Concourse Posted June 30, 2010 Share #7 Posted June 30, 2010 They have time to change the signs after the rush hours. and (Q)s need them for Astoria-Ditmars as I pointed out already in your 'question' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m7zanr160s Posted June 30, 2010 Share #10 Posted June 30, 2010 CIY is now (. Eliminate the shuttle for R160's. I heard the is half-and-half, so that means less NTT's there. I did the math on making the and all NTT, which is about 41 trains (joekorner). That would still leave 7 R160 trains left over. I'm thinking there's more than 7 left over now because the is not all R160. I'm thinking we'll see some 160 trains soon. Unless of course, I'm missing something...?

Just because they have the older trains does not mean they aren't doing their job. And they shouldn't be sidelined as a backup fleet because of their age either.

Ftrainfan Posted July 4, 2010 Share #19 Posted July 4, 2010 now the R160s have no 2-car married pairs. What's so hard about linking Two R160s together! Does it really have based on specifics. If the M shuttle only has 4-car R160s then the MTA should have no problem linking two simple R160s together to make a (S)huttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the M shuttle only has 4-car R160s then the MTA should have no problem linking two simple R160s together to make a (S)huttle. The R160A-1s come in 4 car paired sets. The R160A-2s, and R160Bs are in 5 car paired sets. You can't recouple just 2 cars for service. If the was thinking about replacing the fleet for the shuttles, they would have ordered them as such.

They need those extra R160s for spare trains. Did we not already cover this several times... R160s CANNOT RUN ON THE OR BECAUSE OR STRUCTURAL TRACK PROBLEMS! IT'S BEEN COVERD HERE SEVERAL TIMES! GET OVER THAT DREAM! That's not true. The R160s have no problems running on the . The other day some trains went up CPW on the line due to a problem on the line. Also, R160s regularly test out in the Rockaways. Multiple users here have gotten pics and vids of R160s testing out there. That "power problem" out in the Rockaways that was causing problems for the R160s on the has likely been solved already, what with all of the work they've been doing out in the Rockaways recently (if not in the years immediately following the R160 testing on the ). The did use R160s, so they went back to the or . Since those were the other two lines that used R46s (in conjunction with R160s) which were transferred when the was eliminated, they went back to those lines. The ran R160s, but there were no R160s specifically assigned to the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
