Manhattan-bound through 7th Ave @ 7:50am. Its been consistent since I noticed about three weeks ago. - The Question

Harry Posted August 6, 2008 #3 Posted August 6, 2008 Some of my co-workers who ride the are jumping for joy about it. They really like the new ride. Moved to >>>> BMT/IND Forums.
metsfan Posted August 6, 2008 #4 Posted August 6, 2008 Greetings! I have seen one R160 on the when they first started testing, but i suspect in the coming weeks they will move the older cars off the ( and and put mostly newer cars. - Andy

UlmerPark B6 Posted August 6, 2008 #6 Posted August 6, 2008 well welcome to NYCTF first. second there are 2 to 5 sets of R160B on the each day 'cause it depends how many they need.

trainlover17 Posted August 6, 2008 #11 Posted August 6, 2008 ok so if the c got the r46 , then it would a full 8 car train or would it b shorter like 4 - 6 cars???? and would it eventually get the r179 or 160

As for your other question, as of right now thats still up in the air.

The second part nope, those will go to jamaica(Queens blvd lines). Since the is getting transfered to CI yard there a SILGHT chance that 160's might run on the line.
R32 3348 Posted August 6, 2008 #15 Posted August 6, 2008 The second part nope, those will go to jamaica(Queens blvd lines). I thought Jamaica isn't getting ANY R160s. They can't handle the roof mounted HVAC (even tough they can't really maintain anything else either). Of course, I'm not complaining, R160s on the would be pretty cool.

Jamaica is currently getting equipment for roof mounted HAVC... Jamaica is getting ethier the 179's or 160's.
trainlover17 Posted August 7, 2008 #17 Posted August 7, 2008 o so the 5 car set r160a will b in the jamaica yard which means the , e, f , g , r , v might get them???
