Amtrak7 Posted December 26, 2008 Share #30 Posted December 26, 2008 Looking at the signs in the picture, it seems hard to believe that these may become daily revenue service pictures in the near future, save .

Last time I saw a picture of the side signs on a 160, it did display 'West End Exp'. Who knows, perhaps it was signed up to make "West End Exp" stops; 9 Av/62 St/ Bay Pkwy/Stillwell.

dustclee Posted December 26, 2008 Share #36 Posted December 26, 2008 I've been wondering why it says "Sea Beach Exp" on the ever since the 160's began to run on it. I think I have a clue now though. Last Sunday I took the into the city and it ran local on 4th Ave, and every 160 that I saw displayed "Sea Beach Lcl." So I'm thinking, the Exp might be referring to the 4th Ave stretch, so when the gets 160's, they're gonna display "West End Exp." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted December 27, 2008 Share #39 Posted December 27, 2008 Okay... the N is Sea Beach Express even if it stops at every single stop along the Sea Beach Line from 59th to Coney Island. The express is intended to focus on the 4th Avenue Line, where it does in fact run express. I believe this is the same for the (D)'s R160 readings.

It's that way with the , , and . They don't display anything other than Nassau St as a trunk line (except for put-ins from B'way Jct to Jamaica Center, they display only Jamaica Local).
