via White Plains Road Posted February 3, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2009 Decided to railfan the Astoria Line yesterday with the extended to to Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard. Friday night while I was a World Trade Center bound train I saw new R-160A-2 subway cars coupled with a R-37 across the platform. I got off @ 23rd Street and it came on the Downtown express tracks so I decided to take pics and vids of it: Videos: Attention Attention: R-37 with coupled new set R-160A-2 (#9323-9327) @ 23rd Street! 23rd Street (8th Avenue Line)! Astoria Blvd-Hoyt Avenue, 36th Avenue-Washington Avenue and Queensboro Plaza! 39th Avenue-Beebe Avenue #2! Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue!
