Don't be surprised if you start seeing some of the lower numbered R160s (outside of the 9853-9942 series) end up as the 5-car sets of R160s, because now the entire order is fluid and in one yard. You may even see a 5-car siemens R160 in service. The spares will come from Jamaica Yard like before, Everything will be like it was before when the was at Jamaica. The Only Difference is that there's no train so there wouldn't be that much of an issue. Them cutting the freed up to 140-160 R46 cars anyway which went to the to kill off the remaining R44's. So Adding 90 R160 cars wouldn't hurt them. Jamaica losing both the & lines freed up to 21 full length sets of R46's. Put-In's would obviously come from Ave X and maybe 1-2 from Jamaica yard. It all depends how they will do this. You are going to see every R160 from Jamaica on the . No certain group of cars will be just for the This Isn't the only movement we will see, But All I'm going to say is CI will be fine with just the R46's and R68's for the time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant in terms of moving equipment to/from service. Would be I assume easier to move cars up Culver than the crowders Queens Blvd for put-in. I could be wrong though.

Any R160 can now end up anywhere on either the or They can do moves late in the evening or Early in the morning before the rush. They did this before a lot of times. But they could also swap equipment at ave X yard as well and Put those 2 sets of 5 into one train to run it on the during the AM or PM rush so they can lay it up once it gets back to 179th to Jamaica Yard for inspection. they can also run a fresh set from the Barn on the during the PM rush to run to kings hwy to lay up in ave X yard and split the train into two for service as well. You are going to see put ins on both ends of the line, They MIGHT even start 2 trains in service at forest hills in the early am instead of deadheading to court sq. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw the first car but knew that R46s and R68s have the odd number car be one number larger than the even number cars (hence why I knew 5643 was next to 5642) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct and that's partly why the M Trains destination was Broadway Junction on weekends so M Trains can basically get to Broadway Junction Train Yard a little quicker, and easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have you seen an M train scheduled to go to B'way Jct on the weekend in service with passengers and a road t/o on board then going into ENYD? The only reason why an M would terminate/get re-routed to B'way Jct. would be for a General Order or a blockage on the M between B'way/Myrtle and Met. Then it goes back the other way in service to its terminal and hopefully when it comes back the crew and train can get to Met. If a train has to go to ENYD, there are switchmen who transfer the train from Met (Fresh Pond Yard) to ENYD and bring another train back in return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
