MTA NYC Subway R68 & R68A trains coupling at Church Ave

[@ozziahphillips2518]

I gotta say, those men did a very good work coupling together those trains as a team together. Awesome Job. 🤗👍👍

[@EpicThe112]

Nice and they could have turned the mixed R68A and R68 train set as a N or W train since both are out of Coney Island Yard like the G train

[@Someone-ji2gm]

This is so cool I never saw this before

[@blaazer9473]

You may kiss the bride.

[@sagiselene2943]

because of the springs or the chains

[@BenTheMiner]

Ah, the good ol' coupling. Yard move, I guess.

[@nene7189mm]

And that's how new train are born.

[@davidthaler7018]

If this was Japan, there’d be a crowd taking video of this before scurrying back onto the train…although the trains in question are usually the Shinkansen or the Sunrise Izumo rather than the local trains.😊

How exactly do the cars couple and uncouple? What controls the actual coupler in the motorman’s cab?

[@jaydottt_transitfanner]

there are no controls for the coupler in the cab. only NTTs (new technology trains) (R142, R142A, R143, R160, R179, R188) have controls for the coupler. they uncouple OTTs (old technology trains) in the train workshop or yard by using some sort of tool. second of all, I guess the coupler has a hook that hooks onto another coupler and the train is coupled. it's as simple as that.

[@johnquincyaddinmachine]

wow never seen this happen before.

[@sagiselene2943]

or like the inside and the noise

[@MIkeDye200202holla]

You moved very slow and didn't get good shots of the actual coupling

[@jaydottt_transitfanner]

yeah he didn't he was just walking like a snail and he kept on staying behind the first window and didn't get a shot of in between both of the cars

[@Arctic911]

very true

What’s the difference between R68 and R68A

[@JonathanChan212]

R68s have a bar under the destination sign on the exterior and R68As don't have. In addition, they were built by different companies and were numbered 2500-2924 for R68 and 5001-5200 for R68A.

[@captainkeyboard1007]

@@JonathanChan212 The first car R-68 is 2500 and the last car number is 2924.

[@matthewosman412]

Why are they making the train longer ???

[@Izon14n]

whats the difference between the 2?

[@SCAX873]

T trains no longer run did you know?????

[@1575murray]

If the Second Avenue Subway is ever completed all the way down to Midtown and Lower Manhattan it will get the T designation which was once used by the BMT West End Express train before 1967.

[@jaydottt_transitfanner]

why does it make that sound when it starts moving again

[@harveygrosser1569]

Rather poor video if you ask me. You were standing off to the side so the actual coupling was not visible and far enough away so that someone could walk in front of the camera right at the moment of coupling.

[@Anthony-ls6st]

100% agree

[@TrickyPchester0948]

Yeah but *Its a R68 and 68A

[@ARandomguy710]

Cool !!

Never knew the MTA ever ran a full length G train.

[@tubblescousine257]

What time do they usually do this at?

[@kameroncoleman9293]

Is the R179 new or making a comeback or something?
