Stupid R160's. Always buggin' in lines that should have R143 instead.

[Ali3exp]

I'm not really sure I agree with you, since the R143s all have L strip maps. I'd rather the R160s be flexible so they're not restricted. Had the R143s not have strip maps (but F.I.N.D.s) and weren't already equipped for CBTC, then I'd agree with you.

[Kote12TK]

Maybe they're going to place R143's on the J, I hope. If they run out of space on the L to place any more.

[Ali3exp]

Nah, because there are only enough R143s for the L, and even the 26 1/2 sets they have aren't enough because they're stressed from so much service. So, soon, there will be R160s there.
