⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Car Assignment UPDATE: R179s Operating on the F Line!

[@morganlimes]

2:27 The first ever siemens set that got swapped for jamaica yard in 2019 and the first ever r179 for jamaica yard right next to each other. pretty cool stuff

[@nezarionbraxton8790]

Nice, It’s About Time The R179s Started Seeing Other Parts Of The Metro System.

[@aszaviyovarga1711]

I'm excited that both the F and M trains have the R179's in service

[@dancingwiththestars3778]

R160 Can Assigned to A,B,C & D Lines from Jamaica to 207th St and/or Concourse Yard ❤🎉😊😅😂

[@aszaviyovarga1711]

@dancingwiththestars3778 Maybe

[@mtasubwaymartasubway]

J train

[@aszaviyovarga1711]

@mtasubwaymartasubway Yeah

[@kirkzevola5004]

I don’t think MTA is swapping fleets. I truly think this is only temporary and most likely the same reason why an R179 ran on the M line first Communications Based Train Control testing on the Queens Boulevard & Culver Lines for future CBTC operations on the 8th Avenue Line & Fulton Lines. The entire fleet of R160A-2s & R160Bs will remain in Jamaica Yard & the R179s ENY & Pitkin Yards alongside the R211As plus CBTC will soon be active on the 8th Avenue line soon and I believe they just activated CBTC on the Culver Line I could be mistaken. So yea just going to wait and see what MTA decides.

[@Ron_Delle]

It's not temporary, the 211's will completely be replacing all other rolling stock on the A and C line. They're not many 179's running around so they will be assigned as needed. The D and B will be next in line for the 211's for 8th Ave/ CPW CBTC action.

[@kirkzevola5004]

@@Ron_Delle do you know the difference between permanent and temporary?

[@CrypticalAatrix]

@@Ron_Delle And do you have any sources or evidence to back up these claims?

[@Elithical]

@@Ron_DelleI don’t think the R211s will go to the B and D I think they’ll go to Jamaica for more reliable capacity while the R160s go to the B and D

[@fiercingdragon]

Whoa. First the M and now the F too? At this rate, wouldn't be surprised if it goes to the R too.

[@KhondakarSadi]

4:31 that announcement is just perfect 👌

[@pauldevenish]

Great video! I'm surprised it's taken the New York Subway this long to get CBTC fitted. The Elizabeth Line here in London has had it for a while now, dual signalling. So it can run on conventional lines. The Thameslink network has had it for a while too. But good to see, and I'll definitely be photographing and videoing it when I come over in February.

[@banksrail]

We’ve had them fitted on the most isolated lines like the 7 and L but have recently had CBTC fitted on more of the Trunk lines. The problem is that a lot of the older non-CBTC compatible cars needed to be fazed out of service or move to other lines without CBTC installed.

[@mariachrzski18]

It would just make sense to have R179s go to 179 St!!!

[@146_ChinoMexicano]

I FREAKING KNEW IT!!!! Finally R179 is on the F Line, just wow

[@coopercannella-joyner770]

How fitting a R179 starting a new route at 179th st.

[@MJBYouTubeNetwork]

You all can thank the R211 fleet, in service now, and the impending set still coming, for this! Ha.. I kinda wonder what these will look like on the (R) too. Can you imagine an R179 on Broadway, 4th Avenue and service change notwithstanding, an R179 on the Manhattan Bridge?

[@camacakegd3714]

What is going on anymore lol. I swear ever since the G started getting R160s the fleets have just been going crazy. This is an exciting time in the NYC subway for sure, maybe the most exciting since 2009.

[@clydepk3067]

The G is getting R211T next month too

[@somecallmeelvis]

We got R179 F train before GTA VI

Yes and finally something other than R160s on QBL. It was getting sickening.

I like these better than the R160s.

[@somecallmeelvis]

We got the R179 F Train now the E G R Train soon only time can tell

[@ratuldeoun7228]

The G will get brand new R211T by 2027.

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

R179 L train is possible and the m would share it

[@MasterTransit_MSDWolf8420]

I am going to say this in a comment about R179 on the F train. The R179 on F line looks fine. It does makes sense for F uses R179.

[@brianmohammed1790]

Cool video and next year lefferts Blvd is getting cbtc on the a line on Tuesday I saw track workers doing cbtc work at lefferts Blvd

[@Ihonestlydek]

Now imagine a 5 car R179 G train

[@jaydenphilbertmunipals9089]

Wouldn't be surprising since it's just a regular ol r179

[@vlogswtroy]

they are supposedly getting 2 sets of r211as

[@transitexpert]

@@vlogswtroyCorrection: R211T’s.

[@amazing50000]

That is where the 5 car R179 should go to which is the G, but with the R211T sets coming to the G and with 80 new R211T's being built in the second opinion order, I don't know if that will happen.

[@Fantech0104]

Are the R179 eventually going to make it off the A & C lines and be put on all of the lines with CBTC? Are the R211's replacing the old trains this point? Cause I know the R179 production has stopped so I am curious to see what the MTA is doing now.

[@kirkzevola5004]

Most likely the same reason why an R179 ran on the M line first Communications Based Train Control testing on the Queens Boulevard & Culver Lines for future CBTC operations on the 8th Avenue Line & Fulton Lines. The entire fleet of R160A-2s & R160Bs will remain in Jamaica Yard & the R179s ENY & Pitkin Yards alongside the R211As plus CBTC will soon be active on the 8th Avenue line soon and I believe they just activated CBTC on the Culver Line I could be mistaken. But yeah no fleet swaps are occurring.

[@leecornwell5632]

They are about this close to find a builders for the R262/As open gangways and close ways for the A decisions iRT lines for the 1 3 6 S lines. Kawasaki Yonkers or Nebraska Kawasaki is gonna building the M9As for metro North .

[@leecornwell5632]

The N Q W trains is deffenitly gonna have mix R211As R68/As I'm telling you.

[@aaronthefriendlyroblox5733]

Finally after so long since the R179s tested on the F line but never enter service on the F back then, they are finally on the F line!!

[@r32cooltrainzproductions]

no way. nah bruh they should put those shits on the B and D lines the R179s ngl its pretty cool and if they still running on the F and M later i think ima check it out

[@BigManTransitEnthusiast]

If they are sending R179s to Jamaica yard, well they might as send some R160s to Pitkin Yard for A train revenue service

[@Reformperson]

They don’t need to they got R211As which they also share with the C as well. The A and C are also expected to get a fraction of the Option Order I R211As. This option order will likely be for the B and D Lines.

[@DANNYN224]

Where will r160 goes to is all the f line cars be r179

[@icyleorailfanningchannel930]

2:29 And the R179 meets the R160 Siemens!

[@halfsanitized7084]

Quick question, why is this happening? This seems like such a random change!

[@morganlimes]

feels like 2019 all over again and on a side note i can't believe the r160 fleetswap started 5 years ago

Supposedly testing in service before the 8th Avenue CBTC cutover.

Is it permanent??

[@kirkzevola5004]

I don’t think so I think this is temporary just to see how the R179s operate in CBTC mode on the Queens Boulevard & Fulton Lines.

[@mikemanners5803]

⁠Nope this is not permanent these are going back to the A once testing concludes. The MTA is making sure the CBTC is working properly so their are no issues when 8th ave CBTC is complete.

[@DigiDoll8]

What’s the difference?

[@CtRAIN77]

WTF is the MTA doing?

[@ilikemtabuses]

Hello dj hammers how you doing

[@williamyoon7660]

The (F)act that this is only the second New York City Subway service (after the A train) to use 10-car R179 trainsets is intriguing. How many 5-car 179s are currently assigned to the F train?

[@darrylreedy5079]

None atm. They just borrowed this one from the A line for CBTC testing
