What are they puttin the r68s back on (N) and giving the r160b's to the (F);)nice shots btw

 

The (F) has been 98 to 100% R160 Since June , like IRT Bronx Express stated. When we lost the (W) in June 2010, the (N) & (Q) swapped rolling stock, so the (N) became became 3/4 R160 and 1/4 R68A, While the (Q) became strictly R160A/B. Reason for this was because, the (N) was now a full time-Broadway Local from Astoria-Ditmars Blvd to Coney Island, while the (Q) was newly extended to Astoria to replace the (W); hence, the (Q) now has 2 northern terminals, weekdays, Astoria-Ditmars, and nights & weekends-Midtown 57 St/7 Av. Its easier to use R160s to sign a train up then to roll thru the R68A Signs and change the destination by hand.
