ᴴᴰ Original 2006 R160 A Local Train Announcements - From 30 Day Acceptance Test - to Far Rockaway

[@BrIaNMeRcY1022]

Awesome work! The 30-day acceptance test on the R160B's was from September/October 2006 and then the R160A's from October/November 2006. The first day of this was September 11th, 2006. The day fater, I ended up waiting about 45 minutes at 34th Street-Penn Station. The late night transfer at 168th Street isn't a late night transfer. It is used by Inwood-bound (A)'s. Another thing I should note, it didn't run overnights. The last trip from 207th Street terminated at Lefferts Boulevard, dropped out, and ran light to Pitkin Yard. All other trips from 207th Street terminated at Mott Avenue-Far Rockaway.

BrIaNMeRcY1022 did a siemens r160b get to run on the A back then?

[@BrIaNMeRcY1022]

@@morganlimes Nope. The Siemen's R160's didn't go into service till about the Summer of 2007.

[@N33N87]

BrIaNMeRcY1022, so it never made an appearance on Rockaway Park Side during the 30 day test ?

[@nyctransitrailfan]

Why did R160's never ran on the A line, I mean like why didn't they stay there

[@Staticlyy]

Morgan Limes think again, the R160s are back on the A and C, with 3 sets of the siemens

"This Is a Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue", "Washington Heights-168th Street", "Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd" and "Aqueduct-North Conduit" so good to hear that again, now if they left that alone. The announcements would be sound better than the crap they got on the A now

I would guess to shorten the dwell times, but nah. The full name does the job the best.

I know you weren't referring to those but I was just referring to the minor things that I don't like about the current (A) program but I do agree that the shortened announcements are trash and it would sound much better and more informative if it announced the full name of each shortened station
