From a train operator's perspective, i love the handle on the r 46. The power positions are also clearly marked/etched into the master controller setup. I slightly prefer operating the 46s because they feel like a real train. The 160s feel like operating a video game. Conversely, it's harder to accidentlaly put a 160 than a 46 into emergency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially hated operating the 32s because they were hard to stop properly. But recently i posted on the a out of far rock and i operated it like i would a 68/68a and im in love with them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the 160's left at CI are used on the on The other day on the line my partner asked the dispatcher if we would get 'lucky' and he laughed right in our faces. There was nothing but 46's on the road. @MarkGuy Thanks! I'm just as confused as you are it still hasn't sunk in fully haha. I bet you love the commute now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted February 24, 2020 Share #5881 Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) It seems that the has a on-off relation with its current fleet. There are R32s that's the con as the Fulton passengers were struggling with old cars most of the time before 160s/179s were on the line but it's good for service (as in spare free). Meanwhile, the 179s are there for service. However, there are flaws that could be fixed. *Same with the with its R46s and R179s.

How can the same exact cars be “trash” on one line and great on the ? It’s either they’re “trash” or not.... Also, you’re comments have been rather random.

Just let it die already... Whine all you want, sue the MTA, hell, go down with pickets and march outside of 2 Broadway. They're still putting them in Coney Island Yard whether you like it or not. Astoria will be getting CBTC in the next five years, so you're guaranteed your tech trains back in due time. Plus, the R46s should be retired by then, so it's not even that big of an issue. Sheesh!

P3F Posted February 25, 2020 Share #5896 Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Looks like some R160 cars on the still have "FOREST HILLS-71" programmed for the exterior signs.

It was added afterwards due to high ridership, and to deal with the merges in the 11th Street Cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
