The Question Posted August 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 6, 2008 Has anyone noticed the set of 160s on the morning rush hour Q? Coney Island-bound arrives at 7th Ave, Brooklyn @ about 7:10am. Manhattan-bound through 7th Ave @ 7:50am. Its been consistent since I noticed about three weeks ago. - The Question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted August 6, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 6, 2008 Greetings!

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 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
