An R179 was spotted going northbound on the (C) a few minutes ago.

So why did you say it was running on the C?  The way your worded it in the first place it was in service.  Obviously it did not have C signs on it, correct?  All that means is the train is being transferred from one yard to another.

R32s out of ENY: 3360-1, 3376-7, 3380-1, 3396-7, 3414-5, 3432-3, 3436-7, 3444:3777, 3454-5, 3460-3461, 3500-1, 3512-3, 3574-5, 3646-7, 3706-7, 3714-5, 3716-7, 3772-3, 3774-5, 3778-9, 3782-3, 3792-3, 3810-1, 3834-5, 3888-9, 3894-5, 3912-3, 3928-3, 3932-3, 3938-9 (60 units = 7.4 8-car trains)

Looks like there was a busy weekend at the barns!

I have 66 available, but perhaps 3388/89, 3400/01, 3840/41 are still in work service?

3512/13, 3778/79, 3810/11, 3932/33, 3938/39 were brought back from Pitkin, the rest from 207.

Because it was on the (C) track at 168th St. I'll admit my wording was not good.

15? Where are all of these extra R160's coming from, isnt the (F) back to full service?

The (F) is only running 50% of its usual service, so likely the (F) is only using 25 out of its 45 assigned R160s. The rest of the R160s are either used as additional spares for the (E)(F)(R) lines, and allowed for the transfer of other R160s to the (A)

The F is running on 8 minute headways Monday morning.  Therefore there are R160's available as the F will not need as many trains as normal.  Friday night they transferred 5 R160's from CIYD to Rock Park Yard for Monday AM service.

Can you at least pay attention to past posts?

Oh i forgot, something about the Kings Hwy interlocking being out of service so the rush hour (F) trains to/from Kings Hwy aren't running?

Yes, that's what DJ Hammers mentioned.

No.  The F is on an 8 minute rush hour headway due to the signal work south of Church Ave. and no trains turning at Kings Hwy. due to switch replacement there.

Edit: now I see I have already answered this question earlier.  For you.  Before you start posting (and this goes for all of you) can you please go back to where you left and see if your questions have already been answered?  In fact, check your notifications.

 

 

PLEASE!

One day they will understand bill..😁...You ,I and many forum members here really know what's gonna on...The (MTA) gonna simply get to the bottom of this...Just thank god no one was seriously hurt or even killed in the accident at chambers...R160s on the (A) is no surprise to me considering they just got rid of the R32s...With this covid 19 still in effect Ridership on most lines still at a all time low...This allows the (MTA) to use cars from Jamaica and eny while they fix the R179 problems.....R179s are not lemons...Similar to the R46 needing help on they production..Now they the one's helping out...40 years ago lemons...Just my opinion...

Now in the pipeline from 207 we have 3448/49, 3520/3891 and 3614/15.  If so that will be 74 cars so far.

When was that one out? Does this mean the R179 will not be back for while if they are still transferring R160s to the (A)?

Around 3:30 PM and yes, it won't be out for a while (R179).
