Some random subway goodies!


Recommended Posts


Yeah the R160's looking pretty fab on the (R) ...maybe cause you don't see them too often.

 

You're right. Never looked at it that way.

 

But I guess at this point we will be seeing more R160's assigned to the (R) most likely on the Brooklyn side from what we are all seeing, or at least a mix of rolling stock, very likely as the line on weekdays will be split, necessitating changes by the dispatchers and the DOPE sheets given to yard crews, train crews and their TSS's in yard assignments (or layups along the Bay Ridge BMT and the IND QBL) with the R160's and R46's (as it relates to the Broadway/4th Ave local line) between CI Yard and Jamaica Yard for the work to be performed on the tunnel.

 

How? Guess we will have to wait and see as time progresses as the split service has only started and in the beginning stages.

Which yard uses the purple sticker on trains?

 

They're getting away from the colored stickers on the cars.  Whatever sticker on a car stays, no matter to which barn it's assigned..................until and if some new procedure comes into play some time in the future.

 

1744 is assigned to Corona Barn (7 line) for now, likely it will wind up at Westchester (6 line) within a couple of years.
