On the A-car cab ends. I've seen worse than this, but... here's what it looks like:

AH HAH! This picture has proof that R160 steel looks dull. See that R68A in the background? It shines, Look at the R160, it doesn't shine.

You know I really hate those f***ing facepalm images because they're stupid and repetitive...

 

But sometimes there really is no better way to indicate feelings on this board.

 

Maybe if some of the people here READ the entire thread before bumping something that is 7 months old they could see that stupid questions can be resolved before they need to be asked again.

I honestly wish the trains come back to the 80's. The (MTA) is already 1/2 way done, going back to (NYCT) days with the crime that 'supposedly' went down, now it's rising again with fare beating at historical high now with two SBS routes and stabbings almost once every week.
once at week smh do you know how many we had back than? we had over 100 if not more back than, today its like less than one a week well never get back too what we had than, sorry and with the new cams most crimes are easily seen on them.

The R160B sheet mentions that the R160 isn't pure stainless steel. There is fiberglass too. The problems that forced the R40's to retirement could plague the R160's in the not so far future too. Fiberglass usually have a life rate of 20 years if exposed to harsh environment. Stainless steel usually have a life rate of 30-40 years. So what is going to kill the R160's is the fiberglass parts of the cars. So the (MTA) could have had wasted their money for nothing. Basically the R160's are like the R40's. They are composed of welded stainless steel including the roof with fiberglass ends and strips. The R160's floor composes of plywood with stainless steel mats. So basically if you remove the thin stainless steel you are going to find wood. The only difference between R160's and R40's are their appearence.
So basically the R160s will have taped up roofs in the near future?
