Right. R160s will show up occasionally on the (I like when they do because they accelerate much better between the local stops), much like the R46s occasionally should up on the . From late 2012 thru 2013, however, R160s were quite common on the , due to the Sandy-related tunnel reconstruction. Then it was back to mostly R46s once Montague reopened.

Like I've mentioned before, witnessing SMEE-type equipment in passenger service on the or is extremely unusual! Now that is a rare occurrence. Usually trains run light when they head up to the Bronx (239th St Yard) for the car wash. But in late 2001 thru 2002 (post-9/11 reconstruction), I found myself getting a in service to and even from the Bronx on quite a few occasions. Same with in-service R62As on the . But the rarest thing I ever rode was the R110A in service signed up as a train. Only once in spring 1995 on my way to high school. The side and interior destination signs read “Listen For Announcements” the whole way, so the conductor announced the stations and transfers the old fashioned way.

speedyracer90 Posted March 11, 2018 Share #80 Posted March 11, 2018 An R40M and R40 slant coupled together in service on the in 2009 An R32 and R42 coupled together in service on the around 1999 R42 CI rebuild on the around August/September 2007 right before they were retired R38 in 2004 A set of Corona R62A singles on the (both ends had RFWs) around 2006. Ended up riding it up to 242nd down to South Ferry and back up. I remember the T/O and C/R getting into an argument at 242nd because the the C/R did not want to deal with the corner cabs. Also remember catching one of the last unlinked R62A sets on the around 1999/early 2000. I also recall a few sets of R46 popping up on the during the summer of 2001 Pretty sure there's a few others that I can't recall at the moment.
