R62A 1651 Posted May 16, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2011 ok so i'm aware that the has been using R68's lately and also that there will be a transfer between Jamaica and Coney Island come June and I saw one R160 from Jamaica brought to Coney Island(i'm assuming) 9143-9152 can anyone clarify exactly what the transfer will be? how many R68's from CI are going to go to Jamaica and what R160's from Jamaica are going to Coney Island?

Guest lance25 Posted May 16, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2011 The R68s will remain at Stillwell Yard as part of the transfer from Jamaica to Coney Island. From what I understand, a few R160 consists will also be transferred to Coney Island to make up for the shortage. Where they'll end up hasn't been determined, but I believe they'll go to the , pushing the R68As to the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of RedBirds Posted May 16, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2011 So does that mean the R160's on the are going to be ABBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MTA Bus Posted May 16, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2011 I don't think that the CIY will put their r160s on the . If they do, they will probabley be a full 10 car set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted May 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 16, 2011 Jamaicas R160's 9143-9192 were up for transfer. The very last ive heard was these cars will displace the R68's from the . The is going to be fully R160 again. Also expect to see 8713-8722 back on the (N)/(Q) lines again come june 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Train Master Posted May 18, 2011 Share #10 Posted May 18, 2011 1 question about the C.I R160A-2s: Are mostly all the A-2s run on the because i just see now only 2 R160A-B and 1 full A-2 on the ? Why does it matter if its an R-160A-2 or B? They can run in the same consist its just they have a different sound to door closings/openings.There are mixed A-2's and B's mixed in Jamaica and Coney.

NYtransit Posted May 18, 2011 Share #11 Posted May 18, 2011 So i guess there making there way for the R179. This is a total "assume" moment so dont get me wrong. I believe there sending the R68s to the cause the line in need of new cars is the , so once the R46s retire, they will retire off the line, since barley any one even rides the i believe this is why this is happening. But like i said im just assuming. And lets not go off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted May 19, 2011 Share #14 Posted May 19, 2011 I don't think that the CIY will put their r160s on the . If they do, they will probabley be a full 10 car set. No, R160s can run as 5-car sets which is 300' long. if there are no available R68s in the yard, they would need a train to fill in for the .

Eric B Posted May 19, 2011 Share #15 Posted May 19, 2011 Yes, which is how that 16A2 8600 group would have covered the . So I wonder why they just don't put those on there as originally planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted May 19, 2011 Share #16 Posted May 19, 2011 So does that mean the R160's on the are going to be ABBA. No for 2 different reasons... 1. The ABBA consist are all at ENY (R160A-1 8313-8652, 9943-9974). Those are 4 car sets only for the . If a set does pop up on the , its gonna be ABBBA or a 5 car set. A 5 car set of 160s is the equivalent to a 4 car R46 or R68 2. Who said they're going to the anyway? Just cuz its going to CI, doesn't mean its guaranteed to use a R160. But if there's some sort of hypothetical shortage for some reason, one could pop up (see #1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not complete yet. Coney Island will still need more R160's after R68s dominate the .
