Luis1985 Posted October 1, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2008 i still ride R68/R68A's on the , and sometimes , and more often now on the and Franklin Av . If R160A/B trains are filling up the entire lines, where will the R68/R68A's go besides the ? theres a rumor that they're thinking about placing them on the when the extension to Church Av occurs. when are the trains getting new subway cars? are they going to be using R68A's too, along with their regularly assigned R68's?

Brighton Local Posted October 1, 2008 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2008 I heard the will remain with its regular fleet of Concourse R68s for a while. As for the rest of the Coney Island R68/R68A's, Im certain the entire will be filled up once all R40 SLants & Modifieds are gone, and the rest might go to the :mad:. They should keep a few sets on the permanantly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted October 2, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 2, 2008 the 179s are supposed to be introduced on the queens blvd lines. i assume the 46's that they will replace will shift to the A. maybe even by then we'll see 160s on the A. we all want to see curtain cars on certain lines for whatever reason. but with the MTA, things almost never go how we want it.
