So far this week, I counted two sets of 68s on the still.

 

Moving this thread to "General Subway Forum".

[MattTrain 3,120]

Today at Brighton Beach, there were two trains using R68A's and one using an R68. I have seen an R160B on the but it was only a test train.B)

This is best to my knowledge, but here are a list of types of subway cars that may appear on your line.

 

 

 

(Q)service uses R68 and R68A subway cars.

 

(Q6) service used the same cars as the but ran on 6th Avenue

 

(Qx) is replaced by in Manhattan and in Brooklyn

 

 

 

Correction, (Qx) service used the same cars as the (Q6), R40 Slants; Via 6 Avenue.

 

Trains use the 68a's that ran on the West End , prior to that, they were on the that ran 6 Avenue. Todays R68s on the are from Coney Island Yard, via the Line; the mid-2780s to 2914.B)

[MattTrain 3,120]

Sorry for the mistake. B) You're right about the old (Q6) fleet. It mostly was R40 slants. When it became the (Qx) it used the same set of cars plus the R40 Modified model.

 

Now there's no (Qx), it became the Brighton Express in Brooklyn and the Broadway Express in Manhattan, though the and don't use exactly the same cars as the (Qx). The R40 slants can be seen mostly on the (B)B)

Thanks for posting this! I'm working on a project and this is just what I needed! All in one spot.

[Daniel The Cool 3,780]

Can You please post everyday or most days please. I love the R68's On The better than the R40's and check out my photos from this week. Oh and I saw an R68 And R68A's at the same station i saw R68 which i rode uptown and R68A Downtown. I Love the R68's

Great, great list, but a few things.

1. "(A) uses R32, R38, R44, and R42's occasionally. The R40 slant cars might appear on the due to fleet overhaul." the R40 slants are being reefed, but the R40Ms are the ones that will go to the along with the R42s when they are done being transferred.

 

2. "(E) uses R32s with an occasional operation of the R46's"...if you call 'occasionally' about once a year...lol...

 

3. "(W) is using R68 and R68A subway cars while the R40 and R40M cars are dwindling and being transfered to the (B)". R40s are extinct on the and have been for two months. One appeared or some reason on Monday but it's probably gone.

 

4. "(Z) is mostly R160A's but this might have changed because the 's use of the R160A's has jumped up since last April." The has been temporarily stripped of its R160As for use on the and it will remain this way until more cars are delivered.

The line doesnt have R160s on it only 42s. Same goes for 160s on the . The r160s are kinda well banned from running on the and until the CCTVs gets put up. The MTA dosent want to get sued if somebody gets hurt at those stations.

[error46146 1,007]

the E doesn't have R46's anymore thank goodness

[Pablo M 201 35]

the E doesn't have R46's anymore thank goodness

No, from time to time you'll see an R46 pop up on the . Its not so common, but it does happen.

[MattTrain 3,120]

When I did ride the probably a few years ago, it was mostly R46's at that time. Now, it's rare, and you'll find one eventually on the . Most of the R46's have been transfered to and .

[Brighton Local 703]

R46 Trains look great. The 46s fit the .:cool:
