First Day of R179 (F) Culver Express Train Operation!

[@JulioArroyo-g1v]

Wow R179 F Train!

[@m7express774]

Awesome!!!! Can’t believe R179 F happened

[@r32cooltrainzproductions]

ima go check if its running today i hope it is

[@joelxyso]

caught one on LEX and 63rd, i uploaded it

[@blakefilippi9612]

I caught the R179 at Jay Street Yesterday Afternoon

[@gelatin3613]

this is better than riding the r160, but the announcements are ICK

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

But the diamond symbol wasn't used and the program needs to be updated

[@Rflv26]

R160s on the F are way better than 179s. The 179s are better on the A/C

[@mikemanners5803]

@@Rflv26yep agree R160’s are much better

[@crazymangaming9679]

@@Rflv26it’s been literally 1 day, let them get more time on the line and they might grow on you

[@FuseguyisCool]

@gelatin3613 to an extent yes and no, it depends on the train operator. 160s are smoother and easier to operate

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

I've calculated the future Ci and Jamaica and Eny yards assignments,160 increase slightly and r68 replaced r46 and the same with the 160s, and 179s to Jamaica because they want the modern trains and the r160s get moved to Ci yard, any 143 stays, r160 stay, r179s may end up on the g despite r211t and the r160 move to the q line from the g to replace a few r68s according to my calculations half of the r68s will be retired, reply if you have a better prediction or agree with me

[@mikemanners5803]

Dont calculate shit keep dreaming

[@itzarexsity]

gang what ☠️

[@calvinmorant3028]

Nice vid I really hope the R179 make a running appearance on the E,R Or G lines if that does happens that will be sick 🎉🎉🎉🎉 #R179life

[@MTAEnthusiast2222]

It really just needs to test on the F since it uses QBL and Culver it knocks out 2 birds with 1 stone.

[@calvinmorant3028]

@@MTAEnthusiast2222 alright that’s fair

[@gelatin3613]

@@calvinmorant3028 my best bet is that itll run on the E next

[@FuseguyisCool]

@@calvinmorant3028 it could run on the E, I don't think the R bc the R only has 1 CBTC sector whereas the E has 2

[@MatthewTanglao]

That was you with the radio? I saw you get off at Roosevelt Avenue, southbound. I was snapping pics too

[@FuseguyisCool]

@MatthewTanglao lol yeah, I'm glad I didn't run into any foamers.

[@jamallhayden2512]

Thank You!

[@TransitMan_123]

Man the Next Stop is on the R179 fits so well on the F. Even though this is still Kathleen

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

This voice line is also heard on an R160 on the A Line.

[@calvinmorant3028]

Yeah it does

[@mikemanners5803]

It sucks wym its a downgrade

[@mikemanners5803]

@@TransitMan_123 yeah ok you’re still sad about the 2019-2020 fleet swap and you think Coney Island and Concourse are getting R160’s keep dreaming Jamaica needs all of those R160’s permanently

[@FuseguyisCool]

@TransitMan_123 yeah I'll admit it does but I prefer a 160 F tbh

[@ishrakkhan5541]

These are soooooo much faster compared to the R160s, but the announcements suck

[@FuseguyisCool]

@ishrakkhan5541 ehhhh it depends on the crew. Some 160s can get up to 51-53 mph yk.

[@ishrakkhan5541]

@ any train can, but i’m talking about in terms of ride quality and acceleration. The R179s are very smooth and accelerate like speed demons

[@ratuldeoun7228]

The conductor wanted to go home so bad the way she said those announcements. At least it was loud and clear too. 😂

[@FuseguyisCool]

@ratuldeoun7228 Nah the R179s js have a lag when closing but she was also fast too
