Jchillin Posted July 14, 2008 Share #10 Posted July 14, 2008 I have noticed that the R40's that made up most of the ( line are being replaced with R68's.

Pablo M 201 Posted July 14, 2008 Share #18 Posted July 14, 2008 It says on WikiPedia that the has a few R160 as of 7/12/08/ Is this true?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R160B Really? 1. Dunno about as of 7/12/08. 2. Now, it is true there was an R160 partially on the . It was yesterday that it happened. I'm on my way to New York City, get a call from a friend of mine, and says "Yo Pablo, listen to this, 'This a Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue bound D train, the next stop is Fort Hamilton Parkway.' What you think?" ME: "WHAT?!?" Theres a catch to it though. Most people know the catch so I'll say it. You know how there was a G.O. that southbound (N)s are running via West End to Coney Island (which stopped early btw), train gets to 36th Street, the train got signed as a and ran to Coney Island. The is going to use the R160B's full time next year.Yeah, How about No! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
