trainfan22 Posted July 31, 2008 #4 Posted July 31, 2008 Awsome catch!! But one question, Why was it on the local track?
Brighton Local Posted July 31, 2008 Author #5 Posted July 31, 2008 We are discussing (although not yet) whether there will be ( service with R160s in the future. This was a test train to see how it will work on the ( line. Basically, the ( and are in the same area and we get information for both the ( and lines. Even if so, don't expect the R160s to be placed on the ( for a while. Oh yeah, excellent photos. They are all great. Ahh ok. I see my Brighton changing rapidly before my eyes:eek: LOL. Thanks for the photo statement:D I like that last one. Old meets new. The rest of them are good too. (Hey, that rhymes!) Thanks, yeah the last one is cool.

N-Trizzy2609 Posted July 31, 2008 #15 Posted July 31, 2008 The 160s are taking over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 160s are coming the 160s are coming!!!! I saw a test train on the at Jamaica Yard today while passing on the Van Wyck. It was only 5 cars and had signage and it stook out like a sort thumb between a bunch of 32's and 46's.

On the (E)cho too huh? Wow, I can imagine the 160s sticking out on Queens Blvd..:eek:
SubwayGuy Posted July 31, 2008 #17 Posted July 31, 2008 Wow I must've gone right by that R160 test train heading N/B, probably figured it for a (Q)uincy cuz it was on the local though. D'OH!
'89 Liberty MCI Posted July 31, 2008 #18 Posted July 31, 2008 Incredible. Just seeing B 6 AV EXP in the sign of an R160 there is amazing. Too bad it couldn't go as far as the bridge, 6th Avenue, Central Park West, and Concourse. It would stick out in all those places.

I would expect them to make there way there soon if they are already Burn Testing them on the as I saw the other day.
metsfan Posted July 31, 2008 #20 Posted July 31, 2008 Neat catch. So, the day has arrived. That last photo is all we need to know. Slants have 2-4 weeks left to live. Slightly off topic but......... I dunno how one can get emotional over a heap of metal & fiberglass slantie ends, but i do. They were part of a future denied by a man obsessed with the automobile. When the slants first started operating on the , the tunnel the uses was supposed to be utilized by LIRR as well, but the damage caused by robert moses had been done. He cost NYC much of its history, including the dodgers, street cars, elevated rail lines up the avenues, and so on. The financial fiasco that followed his reign ushered in the hell years for (NYCT) and everyone that has anything to do with NYC has paid for it since and will till they complete projects that will fix the issues that were started way back when. - Andy
trainfan22 Posted July 31, 2008 #21 Posted July 31, 2008 I would expect them to make there way there soon if they are already Burn Testing them on the as I saw the other day. If the and lines get 160's then where would R68/A's go? To pikin/207th st? And the r46's will stay at jamaica yard?
Harry Posted July 31, 2008 #22 Posted July 31, 2008 Great stuff thanks for posting! So there goes the Brighton falling into the grips of the R160 machine little by little. I'm sure the everyday commuters will like it very much. B)
MattTrain Posted July 31, 2008 #23 Posted July 31, 2008 That's cool. R160B will hit the line very soon. But it should also be on .
Daniel The Cool Posted July 31, 2008 #24 Posted July 31, 2008 That's cool. R160B will hit the line very soon. But it should also be on . How do you know
Cait Sith Posted July 31, 2008 #25 Posted July 31, 2008 They better not send the R68/68As to Pitkin/207th Street. That would be a huge wreck. The R68s can also be in Concourse Yard as well. R160Bs on the would be nice. If they ever hit the , that would be a huge surprise!
