R46 G Via Brighton

[Brighton Local 703]

Pulling into Stillwell tonight on the Q; noticing 1 track is cleared and with green over green signal being displayed... I knew that wasnt for an N train , bc the N obviously arrives into Stillwell from the North. I figured something was coming through via Brighton over to 1 track....

Sure enough, look what came out of it :

 

Extremely surprised to catch this....

 

and I was just at Brighton Beach 5 mins prior to that, i wouldve caught an extremely rare moment for the Brighton line... Last time there was an R46 On Brighton was I belive after 9-11 when the Q was using R train equipment, bc the Q Local was extended from 57 St / 7 Av to Forest Hills-71 AV via Queens Blvd Lcl.

haha yah man! lol... I have no idea if it was in service tho... If it wasnt , i Assume it came from Jamaica Yard, and ran light via Queens Blvd / 63rd St ( 60th St is closed off to Queens Blvd), Bdwy and / or 6 Av , via North side of Manny B then Brighton if via 6 Av, OR went via Bdwy to South Side Manny B, or via Montague... Right after it left Stillwell it proceeded right for coney island yard...

 

Prob just a yard move to make it an F for the AM Rush...

and let me point out, it mightve also came via 53rd st to 6th or 8th avs , and traveled to west 4th st, and went over the Bridge after Grand St if via North side...

Great catch! And yeah, the only way it came down Brighton is they way you explained it. It had to run into Manhattan.
