While I was coming home eariler this morning from seeing a friend, I ended up on a R160 on the E via Broadway. I took a few videos of the announcements and signs. So here it is! Enjoy!

Thanks!

 

Yes it is from that G.O. where the E go's down the R line from Queens Plaza to Whitehall St. It says Canal St on the posters however from some sources that I know it's really Whitehall St. That G.O. starts like around a little after 11:30 PM as I have seen a E going s/b along Broadway at like 11:55 PM by 28 St recently.

You are Not Alone in that department! I was wondering the same thing when I heard it. The Good News is that nobody was confused when the train came into stations when the was announcement was playing. The C/R did make some manual announcements from time to time like @ Times Square and Lexington/59

"R" for example on R142 = Revenue Train

Yeah I was thinking that too, since the already runs along Queens Blvd. Why confuse people?? lol

[Joe 781]

"Wrap it up" refers to putting the master controller in multiple...doesn't it?

I agree with the both of you on that 1! However I did not hear anybody asking (well at least in my car when I rode it) asking if it was going to Astoria!

I'm going to admit, it's strange seeing an train going on BMT Broadway. What's more strange is that the R160A train is going on the "(W)" line? Yeah I agree, it should be via the , since it goes with the and not with the .

[SevenEleven 3,040]

via BMT Broadway.

 

Reminds me of the . B)

 

Nice catch anyways.

[Fresh Pond 5,371]

The finally crossed into BMT territory (lolz)

[FamousNYLover 578]

It should have said, "This is Whitehall St-bound train via line or Queens-bound via line.

If MTA cuts W, and if still says via , it would confuse lots of people.

I agree! I almost thought it was a N train when it was coming

That can confuse people however like I said somewhere else that there was no confusion along people when they heard it and thankfuly there was nobody in my car that was in need for Astoria.

LoL! That G.O. happens from time to time on the late nights and in the event of a emergency as well.

Now that would be something that would make me laugh to the FLOOR when the W if it ever go's bye bye!!

Think about it for a moment or two.....if the is running via 60 Street/Broadway and its terminating @ Whitehall Street.....it does make sense why it say this is a "Queens bound via the line" or this is a "Whitehall Street bound train via the line" since the runs to Whitehall Street during the weekdays!
