R160B 9032 at Jay Street

[R68 Subway Car 254]

I took a few photos but this was the best one that I could get of this train:

 

 

I was at Jay Street Borough Hall when I saw a R160B Alstom/Siemens Trainset at the Northbound Platform on the F Train's Track. The North Motor was 9032 (featured in this photo, this is a R160B Option 1) and the South Motor was 8838. The entire consist was:

 

[N] 9032-9031-9030-9029-9028+8842-8841-8840-8839-8838

Looks like the might get some!!!! or because I saw a few testing down at 36th Street with markings but they didn't stop. One of the cars were 9038 and it had Siemens propulsions.

I highly doubt seeing 160Bs go to the &/or anytime soon. I can be wrong though....

A train operator on the told me that the and should use the R160 cars fully two years from now. The R68A's would go mostly to the , maybe.

Um the 9000 series are ALL Siemens trains...

 

A Little Correction there..

then they need drivers to go on training and they'll need new drivers. i don't believe that the would get R160 since they can not afford to disrupt service. The and should definetly get it. the doesn't deserve fully. the (R ) and does.

[sebbieprops 0]

It's definitely the first I've seen with a number higher than 9000.

[R32 3348 10]

The doesn't deserve R160s. Thoe are MUCH better used on the or since the runs out of Jamaica Yar.d I also highly doubt the using R160s anytime soon (within the next 2 years), and also with the , but it's actually possible for the .

[Pablo M 201 35]

The is gonna need R160s soon enough, same reason for the .

 

The isn't getting any, Concourse loves their R68s very much.

Ummm... and all run out of Jamaica...

IMHO any line with cars near 40 years old or over needs the R160s.

That's my point.

What he meant was, the siemens set was paired with the alstom set

[7LineFan 254]

That's my point.

 

Elaborate, then. Just because the runs out of Jamaica it doesn't deserve R160s? Then that would eliminate all lines that run out of Jamaica, i.e. , just because they run out of Jamaica. But that's my take on it. If you meant something different, please, explain.

The IMO is probably ok with R160s, BUT they can be MUCH better utilized on the and . The runs the oldest cars in the system (maybe shift those cars to the , or if it got R160s - this is ALL speculative and will probably not happen), and the , along with the is scheduled to get CBTC next decade. Basically, what I mean is that even if the got R160s, they should go to another line out of Jamaica that can much better utilize them. With talk of the going to be transferred to CI, it might get R160s but if it did it would because it urns out of CI.

 

All of the above was speculative.
