Question about R46 F train 2011

[bve]

Well the pick only calls for R68's

[Rayvon]

my question is where are all of these 68s magically popping out from? The D seems fine to me unless they were stashing sets from the W in some underground chamber lol

[Slants4Lyfe]

now that the G train is being based out of coney island is it possible that there might be a few R160 G
sightings

That is highly unlikely that they would but R160 on the G...that was only a one time thing

Maybe they had R68's laying around in the Yard and they uncoupled them to make 4 car sets for the (G)

[alanr179]

they come from the d trains and being replace by r68a

1: There will be no R160 G trains whatsoever unless there is a G/O.

2: The G's R68s are coming from the B line equipment pool. IDK what is going to fill in on the B.

3: The #1 reason for why 75 footers are not allowed in the East is because of sideswipe risk.

The curve off of the bridge on the Brooklyn side, the Myrtle avenue curves, and the sharp curve near cypress hills are all places where a 75 footer can sideswipe other cars and signals.

The B has the R68A from the N,Q

Even though theres no R-160's assigned to the (B) and (G) don't be surprised if one pops up b\c that is Coney Islands equipment and they will run whatever they have for the replacement.
Same thing with the (R) there may not be 160's assigned but u may see pop ups from time to time(Jamaica's equipment).A few weeks ago a T/O told some of us that a R-46 was on the (E) in the morning.

4 Express is correct. While there may be no R160's assigned to the G, the fact that it is based out of Coney Island Yard means that an R160 may run on the line once in a blue moon as a put in. But don't show up at Church Avenue and wait for a R160 G, because you will end up waiting for days.
