Not going to lie but the F train on the R179 looks fine.

[@farrockqns]

R179 on the F*

[@TransitFans]

I never thought they would put R179 on the E and F. But it looks great on those lines.

[@railfanner-MaxPlati]

It hasn’t ran on the (R) yet tho.

[@paulcastillo1310]

Great video on r179

[@DennisLora2001]

Amazing work DJ keep up the awesome work 👍❤❤❤

[@rodgerp.639]

Very cool!

[@scottyerkes1867]

Looking good

[@midgotman5892]

Will they put the r179s on the R train?

[@Shadymyhorse]

I was on that!!!!

[@JR-Ramsay-IV]

That F express seems pretty crowded. Perhaps they could consider running more of them throughout the day. What did they run now only four a day? That’s fewer than the Z.

[@rodneywilliams3762]

That’s part of the evening rush hour good people heading home

[@Mr.Busfan]

I guess there's no F Express announcement.

[@kobeyt8022]

When it goes to Brooklyn then it’s express,6th avenue its local although it have a 6th avenue express program but that’s far deep in the programs (correct me if I’m wrong)

[@gxmball_7044]

?????

@@kobeyt8022 You are correct.

[@AceTransportHub]

I saw R179 6 Avenue espress M train

[@avarose9755]

WHY IS THERE SO MANY R179S? Are they making it as a new car?

[@DANNYN224]

Hate r179 a lot of conductors on f line hate it the Tod takes too long to set up and it glitches and hvac system sucks sometimes you would put the Tod on with all the stops half way you get there it stops working and you have to do announcements manual I rode those and it was very hot in the car

[@lewisasaprichards5649]

I wanna see a r179 V train

[@fuzzysstuff9888]

The V retired 7 years before these even started service

[@thebrooklynrailfanner]

I will say R179 looks better on F local train ig
