NewUtrecht91 Posted March 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2009 I just rode an R160 on the from Jay St to 18th Ave like an hour ago and it was really cool! I like the announcements on the better than those on the and The lady sounds clearer and less muffled. One weird thing was that between Ft Hamilton Pkwy and Church Ave the lights turned off for like 2 seconds. Never seen that on a R160 before.

Cait Sith Posted March 25, 2009 Share #12 Posted March 25, 2009 I knew about this since the day I got stopped by some train T/Os and Conductors @ Second Ave. I'm not surprised that they went into service. Just a little sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queens Surface Posted March 25, 2009 Share #13 Posted March 25, 2009 I heard that they are only service for a short while , so T/Os can get the feel of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew needs to be certified in operating them before they can even run them in revenue service. If they are operating them, they are already certified.

INDman Posted March 25, 2009 Share #16 Posted March 25, 2009 I saw 3 R160 sets on the tonight not counting the one I was on. I have to say I like them alot, but my trip was kinda slow from Jay Street to 15th Street due to a track fire at 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted March 25, 2009 Share #18 Posted March 25, 2009 Not this time, I was talking to the track guys and they said it was a build up of trash under the 3rd rail maybe 10-15 feet into the tunnel. They said it was minor, but you still need to shut down power and stop trains in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted March 25, 2009 Share #25 Posted March 25, 2009 Woohoo! R160's on the ! Cant wait to ride one! [Curake79] I don't see the big deal either, your behind don't care what seat it goes on....a seat is a seat. A train is not your house I'm going to have to disagree on that one. The R160's bench seats are very comfortable, but for me after 10 minutes of sitting on a orange seat, my butt hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
