Outside of an extreme GO or reroute, very unlikely as the R160s it uses will eventually be retrofitted with CBTC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but it is possible that the M may borrow r179's from the J when it gets rerouted to Broadway Junction or if there is an issue with the J in Manhattan that would cause r179's to get rerouted as M trains to 6th Avenue and beyond, which is rare.

The MTA probably also does not want any of the R179’s stored along the Queens Blvd Line and in Jamaica Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Posted June 12, 2019 Share #8258 Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know if 3170-3173 has ever came out for testing yet? I saw it Passing through Euclid Av last year in October, since I was not expecting it I only managed to get a decent pic out of it.
