R179 F Train Action (Weekday Service)

[@Eastern.Railfanner]

CBTC on culver seems to be working

[@logical.01]

Yup!

[@mrmta9796]

This reminds me when a r179 C got rerouted over the F to church Av and had to sign as an F to avoid confusion

[@logical.01]

Yup! That one was even signed as an going back north!

[@Postmail7495]

I saw one at Bergen

[@logical.01]

Cool!

[@jacobmichalski5534]

At 6:54 someone is saying "what" LOL

[@CSAviationandTransitChannel]

Would the four car trains also be able to operate on the L line one day?

[@logical.01]

The L train uses a different version of CBTC compared to the one being implemented everywhere now, so unless it runs on CBTC bypass it would not run sufficiently

[@railfannerjs6308]

0:05 that F looks crazy asf without a () or a , ngl. Edit: And scary asf at the same time

[@railfannerjs6308]

AsF

[@trillboygaming4332]

Any idea if this will be a common sight on the F line? Permanent or temporary?

[@TrainMaster5097]

From what’s been going around, it’s only temporary. It’s mainly a test to see how well CBTC works with the R179s on Queens Blvd.

[@ColdSid]

Is this permanent?

[@logical.01]

From what I heard, this is only temporary for testing purposes. How temporary? I have no idea
