MattTrain Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted July 21, 2008 I say and . trains are amongst the smoothest rides from Manhattan to Brooklyn, the R68 cars are just as good as the , hardly any problems, and the trains are on time. (Q)'s R68 and R68As are among the most reliable cars because of the available seating, and the trains almost never break down. (W)'s R68 cars, well they need improvement. (B)'s use is OK, can't really give it the best since it didn't use R68 and R68As frequently in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 21, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 21, 2008 I voted the because those 68A run very well on that line. They run good on the line also really move on the brighton express if you get a good set, like 2836. That set was flying down the brighton express.

The way the runs as an R68 or R68A, well there are moments where the runs super slow and super fast. Sometimes the train seems like it's going to break down and it sounds like it too, that's just my experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the train seems like it's going to break down and it sounds like it too, that's just my experience with it. Thats cause there are spots that the has to go slow. There are times that the gets shafted for another train to go ahead. At its regular southern terminus, a train has to stay at Rector for a moment and then continuing slowly to Whitehall because it has to wait for the thats in Whitehall to leave. Thats all. It has nothing to do with the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
