[W Line 2001-2010] R68 #2810 Entering 36th Avenue

[mtattrain]

I do remember riding in R68 (W) trains but if I was lucky enough, an R40 may have popped up.

The W is not 100% R68/68As. there is still a couple of R40s on that route and believe when i say this, R160Bs just officially entered revenue service on the W!

This was about 2 months and there wasnt a Slant on the W. Slants only end up on the (W) if something is wrong with the normal R68 or R160. There isnt enough Slants anymore for the (W).

So now the W train is all R68s so that means all the R4OM Slants are being scrapped? they need to soon going the year all E,F,R,Q,B,A,J,Z,W,and the others will be all R160A/B's?

I saw about 2 R40s on the W the other day. This is a sign that the R160s will be on this line soon, since they wanna make Ditmars/Astoria a full R160 Bound Terminal

really, the W is now all R68/68As, but R40s are still dominate on the B. how do you know this? i think there's still like maybe 1 or 2 R40s on the N and W. hey, you shot this at the same spot where I shot my video of the W at 36th Avenue. Check it out.

My brother is a operator on the A/N lines. I rode the (N) back and forth between Canal & Astoria 2wice and didnt see any R40s @ all. Every W was a R68.
