R32 3348 Posted October 5, 2008 Share #26 Posted October 5, 2008 6th Ave is not the problem, it's Queens Blvd...can't run a 480 foot train up there because of passenger capacity issues particularly around the rush. I'm not saying i'm for the idea but the is only at 51% capacity. Subtracting 2 cars won't do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted October 5, 2008 Share #27 Posted October 5, 2008 How do you think The Announcements Will Sound Like "This Is a Queensbound F Local Train the next stop is ________". Or Whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted October 6, 2008 Share #29 Posted October 6, 2008 Now since I work on the I can tell you supervision is telling us the R160 should start running in January but they don't think it will happen and no reason given why. The R160's given to the will replace the R32/42's out of Jamaica YD. So becauses half R160 and the become 100% R46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know things are still sketchy, but wouldn't that contradict the going idea that the needs primarily 60 ft cars for the extra doors which R-46s don't have?

Are you serious dude? Anyways , the R160 side signs don't read out "LOCAL". I don't know why, but oh well. Its still quite understandable. About those readings, yes, those should be ready in the program for the R160s already. The MTA was ready for these, they put all sorts of readings in the program.....

Far Rock Depot Posted October 9, 2008 Share #42 Posted October 9, 2008 Based on what i saw when the 30 day test was on the(A) and what the 44s read out, im going to assume that what you see on the 46s will be similar on the 160s including reroutes and GOs which are Already programed into the current fleet. ex:S/B with a GO via line W4 to Jay N/B with a GO via line F CONEY ISLAND 6 AVE/63 ST LCL CULVER LCL via BWAY-NASSAU F JAMAICA-179 ST QUEENS BL EXP via CROSSTOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted October 9, 2008 Share #43 Posted October 9, 2008 BTW, I have a comment/question: Anyone notice that the R160s never display more than 3 signs: I mean for the late at night, it's this: |Broadway Lcl |via Whitehall |Coney Island When, ideally, it should be this: |Broadway Lcl |Sea Beach Lcl |Coney Island |via Whitehall This way, even if the MUST go through Whitehall, we can determine right off the bat if it's going local all the way in Brooklyn. Based on this observation, I don't think the R160s will display more than 3 readings on its side LCDs. And if it does/or is able to, it's time for a rewrite of some programs.
