When is r179 come out

When is r179 come out
AFAIK last car is slated for delivery in 2017.
-
What line
-
What line
Not one soul knows
-
The R179s are supposed to replace the R32s, R68s, and R46 train cars.
-
Meaning they could go on the (A), (C), (G), (B), and (D), most likely.
-
And most likely the F since some R46 cars still run on that line
-
The R179s are supposed to replace the R32s, R68s, and R46 train cars.
The R179's are only supposed to replace the 32 and 42's.
-
If the R32's and R42's, they will most likely go on the (C), (J), and (Z) then.
-
I predict that the 5-car set R179s will go the Jamaica yard, as it already has NTT tooling. The R46s on the R line in this scenario will go to the C line, replacing the R32s and allowing for the interoperability of trainsets between the A and the C.
-
I wonder what train will replace the R46 sets if not the 179
-
Word is that the R211 will replace the R46.
-
That's right. The R179s are going to replace the R44s on the Staten Island railway, as well as the R32s and R42s. Thanks for the correction.

M train?
-
M train?
M may remain all R160. I'm not sure on this though.
-
I do not believe the R179's will go on the (M), because I do not think any R160's will be replaced
-
I think he was talking about having the M's R160s Displaced to the J.
-
But aren't the R42s retired already?
-
No, there are 50 or so cars still in service on the (J) and (Z) lines.
-
M train?
the M will not be getting any new cars soon
-
Some m train some from 71 ave yard
-
If I understand you correctly, and I apologize if I'm not but, are you asking if (M) trains come out of Jamaica Yard? If so, the answer is no. In the evening and overnight hours, some cars used on the (M) line are laid up on the express tracks east of Forest Hills-71 Av, but those cars are stored and maintained at the East New York yard in Brooklyn, not Jamaica.

Fresh pond yard?
