Ye internally the MTA designates the as a variant of the train for anything, however, on the front end in how they present to customers, MTA often lumps together but keeps and distinct. Also at least one of terminal is distinct from the , so the is more of it's own train than the which rlly could just be a imo. Also from my understanding while and share a fleet, my understanding is and swap far more regularly likely in part because the only runs one direction and it's easier to swap on the NTTs rather than having to change all the rollsigns on an R46/R68 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted November 20, 2023 Share #30308 Posted November 20, 2023 Did Hunter College lose the naming rights to 68th St? I’ve noticed a short version of 68th St being played on the R142s now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have something to do with the amount of flats CIY trains be experiencing. I know there's been R160 put-ins that have become normal lately to cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, when you’re new with transit, you are “extra extra” or “XX” and can be assigned anywhere in your division. being a B division Conductor, that means every single line save for the shuttles. i now have enough seniority to pick to be assigned down to working “extra”. aside from the two divisions, the subway is broken down into five districts. District 1: 0,1,2,5 district 2: 3,4,6 district 3 (B division South): B,D,N,Q,R,S,W District 4 (B division North): A,C,H,J/Z,L,M District 5 (Queens): E,F,G,7 (don’t ask me about the 7, I don’t know exactly why it’s lumped in with the QBL… operationally it’s crewed by district 1) anyway, once you are high enough in seniority, you can pick to be assigned to just one of the districts in your division. This is “extra list” or “XL”. So that means, starting next month, I will only be working on the A,C,J/Z,L or M. i will no longer have to go to the bronx. i will no longer have to go to Stillwell Avenue. i will no longer have to go to 179/hillside. I will not longer have to work on R68/As. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
