I thought I saw that going by when I was heading down 9th St on my bike. I couldn't really look because it is downhill and I needed to watch the street in front of me. I caught a glimpse of a train that didn't look like an R160, and then an R160 came in too close behind into Smith/9th and I guessed the other train was on the express track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few A dropouts that MUST be run as R46 trips because they become C trains. So does this mean that the can only be 100% NTT once all R46’s have left Pitkin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I've only seen the T's running during the weekdays. I don't know if they are still running. I haven't seen them in a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some R211s sets should be in Queens this Summer on the lines.. It will be a Swap with some R160s going to the line.. They have been qualifying train crews on them from Queens for weeks.. There's also a Set in Jamaica Yard they use for CBTC testing on the Midnights which they do every night. I think the Numbers are in the 4200's... 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Median Posted July 29 Share #8414 Posted July 29 (edited) the majority of 5-car R179s, if not all of them, have been reassigned to 207th street yard (while still operating on the A and S) Someone who checks pitkin yard as the watcher hasnt seen R179 moves in/out of the barn in a while on the other hand, an operator i talk to says they have done moves in/out of 207 st barn 5-car R179s have also been seen by CED in 207 st barn in the past for CBTC installation (though i dont know if that actually ties into this) however, this doesnt change the fact that 207 st inspection shed cannot fit 10-car trains, so theyre probably limited to a single 5-car set on each track in there and credits to @BenTheMiner for this information.

At some point there's going to be some R211's assigned out of 207, when the starts getting R211's, I can see them putting yard color stickers on them, R179 5cars sets could be re-assigned to the once the 4 car sets comes off the Edited July 29 by JayJay85 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best course of action from the MTA. Fix 207 yard to accommodate 10 car trains. It is the most effective way to handle increase ridership on the "C".
