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. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/6/2020 at 11:47 AM, Bill from Maspeth said: 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.

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.
