Lawrence St Posted November 27, 2017 Share #4476 Posted November 27, 2017 Complete power failure. Train saw the crowd at Woodhaven and was like NOPE, out of service. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted November 27, 2017 Share #4477 Posted November 27, 2017 Yeah, after leaving Woodhaven the AAS, and FIND display went out and at 85th the TSS kicked off all the passengers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 28, 2017 Share #4478 Posted November 28, 2017 Got my ride on it during lunch. Always nice to see something brand new, but this set seems to be bad news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted November 28, 2017 Share #4479 Posted November 28, 2017 In a rather quick turnaround, its back out in service as we speak... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTrainUK Posted November 28, 2017 Share #4481 Posted November 28, 2017 Is it me or is the font of the front LED bullet sign of the R179 slightly different to that of the 160? Or is it bigger? Either way, something’s different and I can’t put my finger on what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted November 28, 2017 Share #4482 Posted November 28, 2017 It's more modern, that's all. Thus the letter is smoother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted November 28, 2017 Share #4484 Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I CAUGHT THE R179 ON MY WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL https://youtu.be/kyamAL9cRTo By the way I did record this video. I wasn't fully prepared for it either though. Edited November 28, 2017 by LGA Link N train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted November 29, 2017 Share #4485 Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) This is a random but, we all know that the R179 is on the but, I wonder if it'll see service on the during the rush. Edited November 29, 2017 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted November 29, 2017 Share #4486 Posted November 29, 2017 Hey so my friend and I were gonna try to get the R179 Saturday — do you know if the train is scheduled to be out (barring some failure) and if so, what departures it’ll be making? Totally understand if this isn’t knowable — thought worth asking. TIA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted November 29, 2017 Share #4487 Posted November 29, 2017 Barring any issues, it will be running for 30 days straight... As for when the train is out, its usually from 7 AM to 9 PM, sometimes earlier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly could. The J and Z operate as one line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted November 30, 2017 Share #4490 Posted November 30, 2017 Anyone know when they'll hit the (A)(C)? Those are the only trains I currently take the most due to my college being along 8th Ave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted November 30, 2017 Share #4491 Posted November 30, 2017 Probably once this set goes through a full 30 days. Then again, when the 160s entered service, both the A and B sets were in service concurrently if I'm not mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Railer Posted December 2, 2017 Share #4493 Posted December 2, 2017 Failed again 11/29 (reportedly door problems), was not out 11/30. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted December 2, 2017 Share #4494 Posted December 2, 2017 Caught it two days in a row this week, around the same time roughly: Wednesday, heading towards work just before 2:00 PM, and Thursday going home between 12:00-1:00 PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayofthefuture Posted December 2, 2017 Share #4495 Posted December 2, 2017 Any idea if it’s back out today? Was thinking of trying to catch it this afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted December 2, 2017 Share #4496 Posted December 2, 2017 Rumors of the second set going into service on the this week have been swirling around. Can anyone confirm or deny? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted December 3, 2017 Share #4497 Posted December 3, 2017 I don't think the 179 ran today, if one of cars is numbered 3055 (hard to see in the dark) then its parked upstairs at ENY yard, I knew I saw it parked there earlier today but I was at street level on a shuttle bus and only saw it for half a second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted December 3, 2017 Share #4499 Posted December 3, 2017 Where is the 10 car set? I want to see the speed it reaches on the Rockaway Line, but I have no clue what the MTA is doing with the dam thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
