And yes they are in service. Y not 10? Was the train doors opening on the correct side (if the platform is on the left then the doors open on the left and if the platform is on the right then the doors open on the right)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sense does it make putting a new 8 car train if they are going to be changed? Yes, but I think it will be completely full length after all 10 car r179's are in service. I have also been seeing more 8 car r32's on the C, which is weird when the r32's can operate as 10 car trains on the C. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These changes usually are never overnight. Once the 10 car sets start coming in and seeing service, youll see more full length sets on the C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted November 7, 2018 Share #6771 Posted November 7, 2018 It's actually real. I rode it from 145 St to 168 St. If you guys want good pictures of the R179 : 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been nice if they could've done this on the , a line that hasn't had NTT trains in regularly scheduled service for over +10 years. I'm sure they might soon however, seeing as the already is undergoing testing with them. @Coney Island Av Amazing shots, especially the last one!

I have also been seeing more 8 car r32's on the C, which is weird when the r32's can operate as 10 car trains on the C. Heres the thing: the plan ia to have most of not all of the ten car sets on the A. This will allow their 46s to go to the C. As far as the 32s, they still dont have enough freed up for 10 car seta on the C. Yes, you see more on the A now, but that was to replace the 46s they sent to the C. And the 8 car sets you see added to thr C were freed up from the J when 179s went their. They dont have 32s to spare to add to 8 car sets without breaking up an additional 8 car set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait until the starts running 179s, another line I'm eager to see tech trains on. Since both 5 car sets are now back in NYC hopefully that happens soon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
