realizm Posted November 1, 2013 Share #4651 Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) I saw a OOS (not R160) train on the 6th Av Express tracks earlier. R42? Yep I'm wondering now if this was due to a mechanical breakdown on that R42 then. The only reason I can see that on 6th Ave is because the T/D's sent that consist in a reverse move from the BMT Eastern to the BMT South Brooklyn over the Manny B headed to CI Complex for repairs. (Or 207th Shops, I don't know which direction it was going, not clear on that) Edited November 1, 2013 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted November 2, 2013 Share #4660 Posted November 2, 2013 My first impression is that there was snow on the front of the train, then I realized it hasn't snowed yet. Also, is there any reason why they keep sending the via QBL exp on weekends? It's bad enough the way service is already on Weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lance Posted November 2, 2013 Share #4663 Posted November 2, 2013 Not sure about 8th Avenue, but there was (is?) an option for the V to 179 St. @Gordon: The same reason why Queens Blvd has been messed up for a while: signal modernization and general track work on the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted November 3, 2013 Share #4673 Posted November 3, 2013 Just wondering, is there a way to distinguish the different types of R160s without knowing the fleet number? I have a photo of an R160 from my trip last year and I can't sort it into a gallery on Flickr because I have no idea who built it.
