So you really waited a half hour for a train that doesn't have window seats? You sure you from NYC? I would've ran for those seats man, comfortable or not, those seats are great. In all seriousness, why would you wait in the cold if you aren't fanning or getting pictures for a train? Granted, the probably took 35 minutes to show up anyway, but still, its not needed. You must have a body heater cause I would've never done that in my life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore El Express Posted January 22, 2020 Share #5408 Posted January 22, 2020 So does this mean that there are no R46s left on the F and R trains and no R160s on the N and W trains? I hope not because I'd like to take one last ride on the R46 F on the Culver Line... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 5 R160s on the already. I think new R160s sent to Jamaica enter service on the and ones currently in Jamaica just get assigned to the . The reverse likely happens when R46s go to Coney Island. Cars swapped travel thru the line Edited January 22, 2020 by darkstar8983 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today in the PM around 6PM, the wait was 20 minutes (but I was at an underground station) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The had 6 sets of R160’s today. The still has their new tech trains, just not as many. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. Still seems like the is all R160s and only the Alstom propulsion R160s are going to Jamaica. Maybe more testing needs to be done on the Siemens test set Also, this evening on the as I was going up to Astoria, there were 7 R160s between Queensboro Plaza and Astoria-Ditmars Blvd back to back to back.... to back. Seemed like 2017 all over again. Shame the chain was broken when I got to Ditmars Blvd, as there was an R46 pulling in as I went down the stairs Edited January 24, 2020 by darkstar8983 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Island Av Posted January 24, 2020 Share #5421 Posted January 24, 2020 spotted an R42 set (4813 as the lead car) deadheading to Fresh Pond Yard most likely for storage this morning. the set is currently spilt into two four-car sets. both sets are sitting in fresh pond atm. so that leaves about four sets of R42s active on the (J) (Z) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2fwannabe Posted January 25, 2020 Share #5423 Posted January 25, 2020 The "hot wire" tells us that all the R-42s went nappy nap this afternoon--again!

Currently theres one set in 207 for storage and another set in fresh pond for the same reason alongside the one i mentioned above. that leaves about two sets of R42s left based out of ENY, because it was reported that at least one of them is sitting in the layup at Jamaica Center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
