East New York Posted September 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2012 Question for you train guys. How often do R160's end up on the ? I just got off a set, and was very surprised as I have never seen or even heard of it happening before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted September 1, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2012 I think there's 2-3 sets running during the weekday at most. Rush hour trippers IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off a set, and was very surprised as I have never seen or even heard of it happening before. Were you by any chance on a downtown around 6:00 or 7:00 today? Got a video of it. It happens occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q10 Airport Posted September 1, 2012 Share #5 Posted September 1, 2012 I have not seen 160's on the in the last year or two. For a time they replaced the 32's on the with some 160's, but I have exclusively seen 46's since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted September 1, 2012 Share #6 Posted September 1, 2012 uses some R160's (jamaica spare R160's) for service for the lost R46's that went to pitkin 207th for the , after they get the R46's back the should be 100% R160 again But once in a blue moon an R160 will pop up on the sometimes on the 14:55 trip you can cacth an R160 if needed I think there's 2-3 sets running during the weekday at most. Rush hour trippers IIRC. the run em all day and on weekends as well until jamaica gets their 3-4 sets of 46's back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedChikkin Posted September 1, 2012 Share #7 Posted September 1, 2012 I felt the R-160, albeit finely air-conditioned, made my job a bit harder as a Conductor because of the long-winded announcements and slower doors. Whomever was in charge of recording them should have been forced to make a round trip or two with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted September 1, 2012 Share #8 Posted September 1, 2012 It's rare that I get an R160 train. But it happens (mostly during the pm rush). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCRailfan523 Posted September 1, 2012 Share #11 Posted September 1, 2012 It's really rare for an R160 on the train. But I think they should be implemented there instead to solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
