R44 5278 Posted April 16, 2009 Share #52 Posted April 16, 2009 there are over 750 R46s, more than enough to run 100% on the . You are correct! To be exact, there are exactly 752 R46s in service. The F will eventually shrink to 208 R46s once the R160 order is complete as if transfers it's other R46s to the C, while the C gets G's R46s as well. There should be 5 R46 sets leftover from the C and those five sets would be placed on the A in place of the R40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted April 16, 2009 Share #53 Posted April 16, 2009 When the get's the R160s I'm guessing it will be to replace the R40M/R42s that get used as put-ins for rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #57 Posted April 17, 2009 For the ( R-160 thing. That is possibly going to happen if the goes to C.I. Yard since the is getting R-68's most possibly from the who'll get R-160's. So this does make sense. The ®'s R-160's possibly will just replace the spots the R-32/R-40M/R-42 runs on... I don't think the will have R160's, although that would make me really happy. Think about it, those R160 beasts speeding down the Brighton Express... oh man. Between most local stops R160's on the hit in the low 40's on the Brighton. Imagine if those R160's were on the express... oh my God. :eek::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #59 Posted April 17, 2009 I was just guessing because the is going to get the Hippos when it get transfered to C.I.Y. I was guessing the ( is going to get R-160's since it is gonna have less trains. I know there is no plans currently to bring the R-160 on the . Hmm, Maybe so, but then again the still runs a lot of R68/A's and those will most likely go to the , and then the would be fully R160. However, the (Q)'s current R68/A's may not be enough to supply the , which tells me that it would have to take some from the . If that happens, the will have less cars, which means the might need some more cars, so it may get R160's. If the does get R160's, it will only be a few sets. Very possible, AWWang, very possible, lets hope for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #62 Posted April 17, 2009 Well its great the 160s are going on the .. some. But wouldn't this mean a 3rd order of 160s? Im also guessing the R40M/42 wont retiree till 179 makes it seeing the is being mixed with 40/42 on 46 Maybe right now its ok for the Jamaica line to get the 160s, i just hope when the 179 makes wave the get some loving.. Instead they get the old cars. Dunno if it has something to do with getting faster access for scrap at 207 anyways thx for info Dave. You should be nominated chairman/ceo of MTA !

Option III is just extra cars and it's still determined whether or not they are built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #65 Posted April 17, 2009 I think the is a good line for the R160s. It's a far-reaching, reliable line. LOL!!!! What planet are you from?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelhamExpress6 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #67 Posted April 17, 2009 This might be a stupid question but will the R179'S be NTT ? And The getting a few sets of R160 would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Julio Posted April 17, 2009 Share #69 Posted April 17, 2009 I am rolling in my boots right now. The line reliable? Ha, I don't think so. Try waiting for the on a Saturday morning. I would like to know what planet you're from. The would be a better line for the 160's. Seeing 46's on that line makes me want to yell "The needs some variety." I've been taking the for years on a daily basis. The is pretty reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eli Posted April 18, 2009 Share #75 Posted April 18, 2009 I agree 100%. The R160 can replace the 60 ft cars on the A, while the C becomes full length. well the R46 are going to (A)/© line and not R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
