dustclee Posted January 26, 2009 Share #53 Posted January 26, 2009 Your new plan sounds much better. I wouldn't bother waiting for a R68/A though, you'd have to be really, really lucky to catch it...that's if they still ran a set on it. Maybe you can use that 50 minutes to do, say, further on the Flushing line? Or maybe QBL lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted January 26, 2009 Share #54 Posted January 26, 2009 I don't even think R68s run on the anymore. I can't say anymore, since I take the home now. Daniel, I think you shouldn't wait 50 minutes for an R68 since I don't think they run on the anymore. Just take an R160 and you'll save yourself 45 minutes. Use those 45 minutes for the Flushing line. You should also vary it up a bit, we usually see you in South Bklyn and in underground stations. Give yourself a breath of fresh air and to the . Instead of taking the to Queensboro Plaza I'd recommend taking it to at least Junction and back. You have some very nice photo ops, including the curve at 33rd St., the curve at Woodside, the LIRR at Woodside, pics at QBP, and even more west of QBP in Long Island City. Cameras also usually work better above ground because of the better lighting conditions, so we might see even better talent from you as an above-ground photographer. Happy birthday Daniel. I would have loved to accompany you but I have school Tuesday. I have a half-day Wednesday so I'll be RFing then (possibly with MTR), or else I'd come with you and help you with your photography. One more thing, try to explore unexplored places in the subway you haven't yet. Example, I never saw pics from you of the in the Rockaways. Let me tell you, take a RFW view over the flats and you'll literally have the trip of a lifetime. Sorry for the long post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Julio Posted January 26, 2009 Share #56 Posted January 26, 2009 He's doesn't like the R-160's like other ppl on here! From a railfan view, I hate the R160s. From a future MTA employee view, if the R160 cabs are similar to the cabs in the M7A, I will love the R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed lots of railfan view when the and had Slants, but I love the R-160's regardless of railfan view or not. I've been inside of a M-7/M-7A cab....its similar to the R-160 cab, but I haven't been inside of the R-160 cab so I can't be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to do that too, but I can't persuade myself to go through neighborhoods like East New York. >.> I know the people probably won't do anything, but after thinking twice, I always decide against going.

By now more R160s have entered service so I'm pretty sure the is all R160. Don't waste your time waiting for a train that might not even show up, since according to the latest car assignments the is all R160. Use the extra 50 minutes to explore the in Queens.

My house is right above the Sea Beach and I don't see or hear ANY R68/A's anymore. Except for the GO, but that doesn't count. Seriously, go explore the Flushing line instead. Oh, hahah, too late, it's already your birthday, so you're probably already out. Well, good luck and have a happy birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted January 27, 2009 Share #65 Posted January 27, 2009 If the was all R160s a month ago, why would R68s be running on the line now? Besides, I don't see how riding an R68 on the is such a big deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
