I mean, anything is possible. From a to Far Rockaway to a straight up R68 on the , that's how things get to be rare. I'll start us off- via Lex via Sea Beach and West End to Euclid and to Coney Island The and switch lines very often, so I wouldn't consider that rare . Now that the goes to 2nd Avenue, those trains that head up there are labeled as s. For me, the rarest I've seen were trains over the Manhattan Bridge (the via Montague was common when I was younger), and an train that became a at West 4th Street. Also, the shuttle from Essex Street to Prospect Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted January 17, 2018 Share #32 Posted January 17, 2018 I once saw a terminating at Queens Plaza. I caught an R42 NIS heading to the carwash at Jamaica at Forest Hills and ran from Union Tpke to the yard entrance to see it briefly. I was once in an that had a door manually open in the 60th Street Tunnel to let a worker on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABOGbrooklyn Posted January 20, 2018 Share #44 Posted January 20, 2018 train via Sea Beach for me not super rare since I live by the Sea Beach via West End via Culver R160 train via West End and Sea Beach via Culver to 179th via West End (pre 2004) via West End (pre 2001) brown via original West End/4th Av/Montague pre 2004 pre 2010 pre 2003 Redbird trains pre 2001 via Sea Beach 9/11 time R68 train R44 train R46 during Sandy R110 B at the school in C.I yard R32/40 slant/42 train R32 tain R40 slant/mod train R32 train R38/R32 train R38 train NIS R62 to Atlantic/Barclays via 4th Ave switching tracks to Manhattan Bridge R46 train R42 and R40 slant train (late 90s) Once when I was 4 years old my brother was 7, he ran into a R68 train via West End at 71st in the late 90s I chased him down but didn't make it and he got lost on the so my mother told the MTA clerk and we got on a not in service full 8 car R68 to ourselves just to find my brother. (I was enjoying the whole thing of course.) We took it all the way to C.I and then back to Bay Pkwy, where we found him, the MTA was about to shut down the West End because of this but he was found at Bay Pkwy and got to chill with the train operators in the booth at Bay Pkwy and got money, watched TV and was fed a tuna fish sandwich. I was pissed about that lol!! (thinking I should have been the one to get lost) haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted January 20, 2018 Share #45 Posted January 20, 2018 I suppose some of the rare things I’ve caught: via 2nd Ave Line R160 got a few rides on it. Express via Queens Blvd. the Queens Plaza short turn that recently happened in the G.O that caused the to terminate at 71st Ave which is also rare. I think I caught an R46 on the but I was young like around 8 so it’s faint. Catching an R160 on the is not rare but catching a Siemens R160 from Coney Island is. I also guess catching an R62A from Brooklyn Bridge to 125th Street is also rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgorithmOfTruth Posted January 20, 2018 Share #47 Posted January 20, 2018 Although I personally haven't witnessed it myself, I'd consider seeing a set of in-service R62s or R62As on the or lines in The Bronx a very rare sight. With the Redbirds dominating the White Plains Road and Dyre Avenue lines before the R142s were introduced, I wonder if the R62s or R62As ever saw life on those lines on a regular basis.

LGA Link N Train Posted January 20, 2018 Share #50 Posted January 20, 2018 I'm gonna try to remember train terminating at Queens Plaza with the terminating at Forest Hills. I was so Glorified that weekend cause the in my opinion is a crappy line. A holiday train relayed near Queens Plaza R68 via 8 Av (I used it from Chambers to PABT) R68A train (caught one today) R142A after the got R188's. Vice versa with the R62A train. Cuomo Train. An r46 Train stopping at 63 Dr with an R160 train running express next to it. R179 pilot set on the R160 to 179 st. The perfect Broadway Service express and local. R46 and R32 back in 2012 train back in 2007 or so. I don't remember much before 2010 cause I didn't really know the subway that well at the time.
