⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ R160 Running in Service on the N Line (2024)

[@lecandy1388]

R160 N was my childhood and seeing it pass by on the other side of 59st (Brooklyn) was bringing so much nostalgia.

[@Patchy682bestbus]

Amazing how it was a former coney island set

[@22k_LOL]

pretty much all siemen units were former coney island set (so is like 90 percent of the r160b fleet)

[@houstin461]

@@matthewadonis3020 Yes it's evident what your initial claim conveys. With all due respect, I'm baffled as to why you're coming back to this comment but yes when you mentioned "suite" it's saying that the appearance and the operation fit phenomenally on the trains you've listed. I respect your opinion but I believe the r160 N brings back to nostalgia for multiple riders.

[@NEFeldman]

The Siemens Propulsion Sets debuted on the N in 2007. They were temporarily pulled from service due to Gearbox Leaks (similar to what happened to the R211’s as of recent). I still have videos of riding both Alstom, and Siemens propulsion sets when based out of Coney Island.

[@michaelscott7706]

A few months back they had 2 sets running on the Q. I saw them when I was signing out at Brighton Beach.

[@Kabaniko-san]

Hey, dj hammers. I have a fact why do some people think that the blue lights in tunnel are signals. Until the reconfiguration of DeKalb Avenue station junction, somewhere near the closed Myrtle Avenue station there was a three-way turnout (a turnout from which two tracks branch off from one track at different sides, and which is a pair of turnouts that were placed too close (interlaced) that the point blades of the another switch is located between the points and a frog of main switch), an 'only one' in system on that days (the three-way turnouts can be found across the yards and some stations nowadays) If the turnout was switched to third track, the special blue aspect lighted up on a signal, indicating that you can move on a third track, (often it lighted up with red or green but almost never with yellow). The blue aspect was abolished after the reconstruction. The blue lights in tunnel nowadays arent a signal aspects any more.

[@VinceHere98]

I don’t really see the N or Q getting any R160’s back anytime soon, but I do think we could see them pop up on the W if the line were to be extended to Bay Ridge-95th Street with the R during rush hours. They could definitely share R160’s there, while the W can share R211’s with the N at Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard. Only the N and Q can use R68/A’s.

[@jadenmuniz8817]

But Vince, Jamaica Yard needs the R160s because they’re equipped with Queens Blvd CBTC. The W using them can result in a gap in service.

[@TransitFans]

Eventually some R160 will be going back to Coney Island for mostly the B and Q. Since the E and F will be getting some R211.

It's actually good that they're going to bring the r160s back on the N Q & W lines as the r46 are going to retire soon which I'm not surprised about that at all.

[@Thomas-ep3zl]

Good

[@mrlegend4456railfanning]

I wish this was True but this is very much temporary for a short time Also Once the R46 fully retires the R160s will still be mainly for the (R) & (F) and the (G) Trains because all the R68/A Subway Cars based from Concourse Yard serving the (B) & (D) Trains will go to (N)(Q)(W) Trains in a few years to Coney Island Yard for the CBTC Work

[@Thomas-ep3zl]

How about 30 r160s are on the N. 30 R160s on the Q and 30 r160s on the W

[@chrisdadrilla]

Actually not possible, the R160 were built specifically for the Queens Blvd line CBTC. I think once more R211A and Ts start ordering in, they will replace the aging R46 and R68s.

[@nekocraftguy]

How come these subway cars were removed from N and Q services? We hardly see them on those lines and more on the R lines

[@matthewadonis3020]

Jamaica needs all of these R160’s permanently since they hold the most capacity for Queens Blvd CBTC they were literally built for Queens Blvd and they’re doing brilliantly on that corridor.

[@nekocraftguy]

Oh that clears it up

[@robertko5425]

Yep - for the new CBTC system on the IND Queens Blvd Lines. However, even when the (R) line is 100% R160's the service is still Rancid, Rarely and Rotten !!! or just SUCKS !!!

And this was followed by an R160 running on the W line and an R160 G train running to Forest Hills!
