error46146 Posted August 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2008 you better believe it !!! saw it with my very own two foamy eyes earlier today, 11:53AM flying downtown on exp track at 42nd Port Authority it was an Alstom propulsion, and the train was apparently a mixed with the older and newer R160's (the south facing end had the number plates with the wide numbers, while the other end has the other kid of number plates) I dont think it was in service im not sure though, the signs were all off and there were a few people inside it but it did sound like it was stopping at the station (unfortunately i couldn't see, you know how 42nd is like and i was at the very front end of the uptown platform so i didn't know if it really did stop at the station) but yea those rumors are true, you better believe it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
