ᴴᴰ R160 - N Train via F and R Lines Announcements - To Forest Hills via Queens Blvd Local

[@NYRavage]

That transfer announcement at 34 Street - Herald Square makes me die a little inside every time that I hear it.

3:46 That’s my favoriteee announcement

[@reinnegroni8462]

Yes! I remember when I was riding the N train from Forest Hills -71 Avenue to Manhattan in the mid 80's. I was riding the slanted r40 from Roosevelt Ave to Manhattan from the 2000 something era due to a signal failure at Queensboro Plaza. But it ran on the old route for years. R train went to Astoria, yes it was. Imagine the N train goes back to Forest Hills & everybody on the train doesn't know what will happen next. That's a good one.

[@TheCupcakeMan777]

Same! I was like “whattttttt!!!” Noelle would be so happy ( Noelle is my sister)

[@alantorres6097]

The transfer at 36th Street to the M and R trains is unnecessary for two reasons: 1. If someone were going towards Manhattan, it would work, as the next stop on both lines is Queens Plaza, except for one thing: there is no free transfer between directions at 36th Street. To get to the Manhattan-bound platform, you'd have to leave the station and pay a second fare to make the transfer. (Of course, if you're lucky enough to have an Unlimited Ride MetroCard, then you'd have no trouble, but not everyone is that lucky.) 2. If you were going towards Forest Hills, there'd be no need to make the transfer, as not only do the M and R trains make the same stops as this special N train was making, both terminate at Forest Hills anyway.

[@BubblySugxr4492]

The N used to run on Queens Blvd in the 60’s and 70’s… it was designated as EE and was the Queens Blvd local.

[@metrorailfan2334]

Incredible

[@somecallmeelvis]

Nice R160 N train announcement on Queens Blvd line N train used to be there before May 1987 when the N and R train switch place because the R train needed access to Jamaica Yard and also the R train didn't have a yard assigned at the time

[@TheRailLeaguer]

somecallmeelvis And there was an idea on a site that suggested that to return the R to Astoria, they can build a yard on the Con Ed Power Plant. But given that there was an explosion there in December 2018 that rocked the city (and the neighborhood since I have friends who live in Queens), I would not build a yard in that con ed explosion prone place.

[@bullymaguire6168]

@@TheRailLeaguer aw man, the R to Astoria could have been amazing, returning the G to 71 Av. That could have been the RR.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@bullymaguire6168 That comment I made was from 2 years ago, but since then, I have favored support of it with other changes. Notably, switching the Brooklyn terminal of the R route from 95th Street to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue, replacing D train service. Assuming nothing else is changed, new track switches south of 36th Street would be installed to allow for D trains to switch to the local tracks south of there, and run local to 95th Street, replacing the R train. The northern end of the R train would then be changed back to Astoria-Ditmars. Service on the whole line would run at 20 trains per hour, with 5 or so trains terminating at Queensboro Plaza, though if the switch layout at Astoria was changed, those 5 trains would continue to Astoria-Ditmars. The N would terminate at 96th Street with the Q, and both routes will get a service boost to 12 trains per hour. At this point, the R will be based out of the existing Coney Island Yard. D train layups can either be moved to 207th Street Yard or can remain at Coney Island Yard.

Ye I know but I wasn’t trying to go all the way to Astoria, that’s a trip

[@EpicThe112]

If you were on the 4 train between Atlantic Terminal and 59th Street you would have heard N trains running on the F & R lines from 59th Street East Side line 63rd Street Station platforms to Forest Hills 71st Avenue connection to Long Island Railroad. Can someone tell me to why Long Island Railroad announcement connection it's missing at 71st street Forest Hills because it's only two or four blocks away from the subway station?

[@nyctenthusiast3507]

How often does the N run via the R line to forest hills and The R to Astoria?

[@MrRailfan]

Very very rarely

[@nyctenthusiast3507]

I know that

[@exautical5066]

Why did the swap even happen?

[@charlyl9252]

Exautical because the R did not have access to a yard while the N had coney island yard and jamaica yard

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Sonic57053 Transit & Gaming That swap was in 1987 by the way. However, if they build a new yard in Astoria, then we can have the R return to Astoria and the N go to 96th Street. New services on Queens Blvd would replace R service.

Cool maybe this could be the N train regular route. But for this to happen the R train should be rerouted to the Astoria line then extend to LaGuardia Airport and build a new train yard nearby and reroute the N to queens blvd. Just saying

[@ntrainmta9626]

N via R instead of via F line

[@gabyrojas9413]

I know this was the terminal of the N in the 80s I know why they switched the R with N by terminal: The R didn’t have access to a yard

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Gaby Rojas Correct. Meanwhile, the N has direct access to one too many yards. And if someone suggests building a new yard in Astoria at the Con-Ed power plan so that R service can return there, in guessing they didn’t bother to see what happened there in December to come up with a plan..

[@charlyl9252]

JeremiahC99 um the power plant exploded and made the sky blue?

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Charly L Oh yes. That is the incident with the power plant. Another alternative I had in mind is to build a new connection between the Broadway Line at Whitehall Street and the Fulton Street line local tracks via a new under river tunnel, the Court Street station which now hosts the museum, and the outer platforms and tracks at Hoyt-Schmerhorn. From there, R service would be rerouted from Forest Hills to Astoria, and from the 4th Avenue Line to the Fulton Street line to Euclid Avenue, replacing C service, which will now use the express tracks with the A and run to Rockaway Park. Not only would R service run at 15 trains per hour, but the fleet will now be based out of Pitkin Yard with the A and C.
