Compelling photo. Would be fun if they were used as street level transit on those trailers!

Yes there is a second option order for the 160s.

 

Those cars in the pic will end up on the (Qx).

Yeah boy, up in the 9000s already. 96xx is sort of strange though.

Those cars are 90XX, not 96XX. It was a typo. You can see it in the photo if you look carefully.

Yeah, I should've thought that. My eyes plays tricks on me so sometimes with things like car numbers in photos get me.

i know i posted this on sub chat before but i wonder what their gonna do once they go up to the magic 9999...

 

according to my calculations if each car gets its own number and they don't reuse any old numbers they are going to go past 9999 if they complete all the option orders..

Or maybe they are changing the numbers in order to leave room for the R160A option order?

9999 won't come with the R160s though. I don't see R179s getting to that number either, pending how big the order is going to be though.

 

The MTA wants to avoid having to use a 5th digit for revenue service cars.

They are already reusing numbers... last I checked, these used to be the old Redbird numbers.
