Are R68/68As still on the N?

[FlushingExpress 2]

Kris Datta's sheet says the N is fully R160s, but some of you are still reporting R68/68As on that line.

[Maserati7200 31]

I saw one last week. But, before that, I haven't seen one since January. It's pretty rare.

[Urbanfortitude 123]

The one I caught last night from Astoria was an R68. So yeah they're still on the just not very often.

[Cait Sith 9,736]

R68/68As make their appearance on the . The is fully R160 at times, but the hippos make their appearances often,

[SevenEleven 3,054]

Caught a R68A on the this past weekend.

 

[Urbanfortitude 123]

if i had thought of it at the time i'd have gotten some pics

yeah they usually run the 68s on the n on the weekends

[8 Av/Fulton Exp 0]

yeah i saw one at astoria blvd station myself

[MTR Admiralty 4]

I'll do the explanation:

Supposedly, the N is supposed to be fully R160s. However, during rush hours, a R68A might be signed up as an N, for more service.

They're still on the once in a blue moon.

I was lucky enough to catch R68A's for 4 rides on two different days earlier this week.

 

And I'd have to disagree with MTR. Unless 3PM is considered rush hour, your explanation can't be true.

The R-68/68A is almost dominating the Line for now, !

 

Um... just WHAT are you talking about?

[Urbanfortitude 123]

yeah really i haven't seen a R68/R68A on the in what seems like forever.

Well, I'll amend that.

A R68A gets signed up when there's a need for an extra train. How about that?

[MTR Admiralty 4]

I believe there is 3-4 R-68/68A in Service... The R-68/68A is almost dominating the Line for now, !

 

Can't be that many. They sign up 1, possibly 2 R68As when there is a need for more service on the N.

[Daniel The Cool 3,780]

I saw 4 R68/R68A's on the this week

[MTR Admiralty 4]

I saw 4 R68/R68A's on the this week

 

W is going to turn into a fully R160 line soon. Those 4 hippos would probably be displaced.

Actually, rush hour begins at 3:30PM...

the is fully R160s, but if there is a servicd gap at any time (which is rare), or during a weekend G.O., then an R68 may pop up on the line.

I saw 4 R68/R68A's on the this week

Some of the ones you saw were probably the saw. At least 6-7 sets out of 10 on the are R160, but I haven't been on the line in months.

[MattTrain 3,120]

Finding a R68 or R68A train on the is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's really hard to catch one these days. If anyone does catch one that's taking a break from looking at the FINDS on the R160 cars on the .

[FlushingExpress 2]

the is almost entirely R160s as well. i have not seen an R68/68A on that line since the end of December.

I think :

 

, , still uses R68's not all the time.

people are intrested to see R160's run on the

, line all the time.

they will not like to see R68's run on those line.

If soo:

 

#2782 - #2915 , #5001 - #5200 run on ( , , ,

line.

 

 

so i would say give away #2782 - #2915 to jamaica yard.

and they will able to retire R32 , R40M - R42.

 

#2782 - #2915 will able to run on , line.

 

#5001 - #5200 still run , line?: cool:

Dude, seriously, what is it with you and your posts always typing up running numbers and gibberish. You're getting out of hand already and annoying some of my members. You need to stop this immediately and start adding to the discussion or else. :mad:

harry is right. besides, your information is not right. R68/68As are still quite common on the and they are not going to Jamaica. the is set to start using R68/68As soon and some of these cars from Coney Island may go to Pitkin to replace any old cars they still have.
