Roadcruiser1 Posted May 7, 2011 Share #28 Posted May 7, 2011 No it's the R68's on the line. The R160's from the Jamaica Yard would be transfered to the as their replacement, and the R46's would be used to back up the when it is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTK246 Posted May 7, 2011 Share #29 Posted May 7, 2011 Last time I checked, the strictly used R68As and R160s, and the currently has R68s and R68As that it received from the ( or .

2 Train Master Posted May 9, 2011 Share #32 Posted May 9, 2011 So now the is moving to Coney Island Yard, is this going to effect R68's used on the ( line? It shouldn't.Obviously sets will be taken off the or and for the but the replacement is 160's from Jamaica which will most likely run on the bumping the remainder of the 68/A's to the .So the may go 100% 160 again sadly. Last time I checked, the strictly used R68As and R160s, and the currently has R68s and R68As that it received from the or . Either way, the or will recieve R160s and the will obtain some R46s. No the uses both 68/A's and 160's.The has no R68A's just 2 68 sets.The 68's may not have came off the they may have came off the .Can't be the since its not out of Coney Island.When and why the will receive 160's? The may but if the does Jamaica will have to trade sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTK246 Posted May 9, 2011 Share #33 Posted May 9, 2011 I have NEVER seen a R68 , and I take that route everyday. Also, the equipment transfer isn't finished yet, so the will have to take sets from the (, since the is CI based now. R46s aren't CI equipment, so that's a no go for the to get R46s, but instead R160s to replace the lost part of the R68/A fleet.

Luis1985 Posted May 9, 2011 Share #34 Posted May 9, 2011 The R68 8-car set that are now running on the came off the (, which is from the Coney Island Yard. it was an actual full 8-car set, but instead it was split into 2 sets of 4 cars. (2888-2889-2891-2890 and 2784-2785-2787-2786). The still uses its own R68's from Concourse yard. Lets not forget that the Franklin Av Shuttle uses its own R68's from the Coney Island Yard. There are no R68A's on the . R68A's are only running on the right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
