Tbirdbassist Posted April 11, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 11, 2009 I wonder why they are still testing out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted April 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 11, 2009 Nice catch! Maybe they were testing on the 2-mile Broad Channel third track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted April 11, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 11, 2009 Nice catch! Maybe they were testing on the 2-mile Broad Channel third track. That and maybe R160 (A)s in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted April 11, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2009 That and maybe R160 (A)s in the future? Those are nice photographs of the R160 testing on the line. R160 in the future? That might be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 11, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 11, 2009 I'm going to update the datasheet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted April 11, 2009 Share #12 Posted April 11, 2009 Not in the near future. I don't see why not. It's kind of pointless to test it on the Rockaways constantly if there's a track already there at Sea Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbirdbassist Posted April 11, 2009 Share #13 Posted April 11, 2009 Last I checked the R160's have been entering the system at 207th St Yard, so it makes for them to be tested out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted April 11, 2009 Share #15 Posted April 11, 2009 Stop foaming people, all R160's test at the rockaways upon delivery before burn testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 5278 Posted April 12, 2009 Share #17 Posted April 12, 2009 I really wish that after the R44s and R46s are gone that the A train would be a majority of R179s with a few sets of R160As. It really seems that the R160As are going to dominate the IND, while the R160Bs are going to dominate the BMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, they do preliminary testing on that stretch of track near Broad Channel. After that they would be taken to their destined yards. This train might be heading to Jamaica, I'm not quite sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyBrooklyn Posted April 12, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 12, 2009 They probably test out of the track instead of the sea beach because there is no chance of a customer being on the tracks. On the sea beach a customer could be on the tracks due to the station platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the sea beach a customer could be on the tracks due to the station platforms. Let's ask ourselves where these cars came from when they first entered the system. 207th, right???

VinnyBrooklyn Posted April 12, 2009 Share #21 Posted April 12, 2009 That is correct they enter from 207th the same place that they entered from when they were also testing on the sea beach line. It doesn't matter where they enter the system from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter where they enter the system from. No, but the tracks at Rockaway are immediately accessible from 207th. And from there, they could go to their destined yards. Sea Beach tested the base order of R160Bs and the R160A-2 (base order) that later went to CI. There would be a lot of switching to get to Sea Beach from 207.

Exactly, the cars are coming from upstate NY and are delivered to 207th street yard, which I'm sure most people know serves the train, which goes to the Rockaways...

After that, it goes to the destined home yard for actual burn testing. Moving it to Sea Beach would require a lot of moves. The Rockaways though do not require that many moves. They can move the trains to the Rockaways at night, when the A is local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe C Posted April 13, 2009 Share #25 Posted April 13, 2009 It really seems that the R160As are going to dominate the IND, while the R160Bs are going to dominate the BMT. No,not really.both the R160A's and R160B's can be found on both divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
