BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 11, 2012 Share #52 Posted August 11, 2012 These were just midday layups at Pitkin. They ran either express or local on the Fulton Line to Euclid Avenue or Lefferts Blvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted August 11, 2012 Share #53 Posted August 11, 2012 Man some of you guys need to just slow down on the R160 announcements. Yall sound so thirsty for it.........., just like other announcements out there. Just grab the pixs/vids (if your up late) and BAM. Who cares at this time about the announcement. Lets just keep it moving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q10 Airport Posted August 11, 2012 Share #54 Posted August 11, 2012 This still sounds like too much o to really be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted August 11, 2012 Share #55 Posted August 11, 2012 Guys, you do know that the AAS can be turned off if necessary (i.e., a certain route option not existing in the system), right? It won't be the first time it's happened and I doubt it'll be the last. Also, I should remind you that there are still some G.O./unplanned service change reroutes that are either not displayed correctly or at all on the NTTs. The E to 168 St-Washington Hts or 179 St via Hillside Av Local are a few that come to mind. That's part of the reason we still have conductors on board to make manual announcements.

realizm Posted August 11, 2012 Share #56 Posted August 11, 2012 What's the latest scoop? Anybody got pics of this? =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted August 11, 2012 Share #57 Posted August 11, 2012 Um, no because it hasn't happened yet. This service change won't take effect until next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When coming home from NYU-Poly a few times, I boarded a N/B R160 train going to 179 Street/Hillside Avenue. However, the FIND only displayed the Express stops after 71st/Continental Avenue (like Kew Gardens - Union Tpke, Parsons Blvd and 179 Street), meanwhile the train ran local, making all stops since there were trains laid-up on the express tracks (primarily b/c there isn't a lot of room in the Jamaica Yard, but that's another story for another thread).

The route was set up incorectly because there is a local to 179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Railfan Posted August 12, 2012 Share #61 Posted August 12, 2012 The route was set up incorectly because there is a local to 179 Really? out of all the times i caught the to 179 , it's always signed up to 179 street via hillside express and the C/R makes manual announcements after forest hills.
