⁴ᴷ R32s and R179s running on the Rockaway Shuttle via Hammels Wye

Track work taking place between Rockaway Blvd and Broad Channel split (A) service into two sections. This brought back the rarely seen (H) line, used after Hurricane Sandy, although this time around most trains were signed as (S) with the exception of the R32. The pilot 10-car R179 was assigned to the Shuttle this weekend making it both the first time an R179 has run in service to Rockaway Park and the first time an R179 has run, possibly ever, via Hammels Wye, the section of track which connects Beach 67th Street to Beach 90th Street.

The R179’s fit perfectly for the shuttle. Interesting Video!

Nice video! The R32 and R179 managed to run on the shuttle because those trains ran as an A train to Far Rockaway and then changed services to run on the shuttle. It was a "put-in" to the shuttle from the A line. When the G.O. is over, the R32 and R179 will be a "put-in" for A train service.

The R179 subway cars are my second favorite.

Wow a plane shadow over head of the R 179 subway car while filming nice awesome footage of R32 subway trains are my best rides

[@MessengerKeyson99]

I got on the R179 twice on the A line, I swear it was like a new subway vibe. Also I got on the R179 on the J line which was cool too.
