EXCLUSIVE! R160B Siemens (D) Leaving 20th Avenue

[koolmazin]

@LoopDude97 i kind of agree lol theyre a bit slow i ride the D alot to manhatten it always gets slower on the manhatten bridge

[starfox522]

yeah they should put all the R160's on the d line and some on the b line and put the r 68's on the f line

[nyctrman]

@starfox522 something must be wrong on that mind cause what would you run on the N Q lines then and other lines that uses R160s smh

[nyctrman]

@nyctrman such as JMZ F NQ L

[BStyles4Life]

@starfox522 No, they should leave it the way it is. Concourse Yard rejected the R160's and that's how it's gonna stay for the next few years.

[RealNiggaTV100]

@starfox522 I have never heard everything so dumbass in my life. Maybe they should retrofit your face on a R68 and run it on the F line express until it hits a bumper post. lol

[AlgonquinRider810]

@starfox522 O yeah they also need R160s on the 1 train and on mars. *sarcasm*

[JazzyJeff233]

the R16oB cars are cool i mean if your fat and lazy you dont have to read a damn map just look up

[iluvairlines]

omg D trains will have R179s? WHEN??

[BVEguy]

Look, we don't even know if the R179 order is going to come true, so don't waste your time thinking about it yet.

[MrTrickysticks]

We'll need more cars sometime, right?

[BVEguy]

@MrTrickysticks Nope. The orders are supposed to replace the retired trains, making the same amount of trains. They don't increase the amount of trains... They simply can't store all of them if they're going to keep the garbage everywhere.

[MrTrickysticks]

I meant eventually. Unless we'll have R68 trains until 2100?

[BVEguy]

@MrTrickysticks What I mean by that is that the number of cars will stay the same, because the new trains coming in bump the old ones out. For example, a 10 car R160 comes in, bumping the 10 car R32 off. We still have 10 cars.

[AlgonquinRider810]

like bveguy said the order might not pull through dont get your hopes up to soon yet!! sorry if offending.

[Maluigi401]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO???????!!!!!Th­ey're going to run on the 7 and replace the R32,R40,and R42 trains.

[BVEguy]

@Maluigi401 Uhh, the 7 is IRT territory, and BMT trains don't fit there. The R32, 40, and 42 are BMT trains.

[justrun1119]

@iluvairlines problablly 2012

[koolmazin]

I find that hard to belive cuz none of the R179s will be replacing the R68 cuz it only had 20 years of service.

[nyctrman]

not really the 179 is replaceing the R44 and the SIR R44 also the only thing they said about the R68 is no more 75ft. cars

[muz469]

well the r68/r68a is the newest car out before all the neew tech trains cam in even the number ones

[mtattrain]

We can count on the (D) to have some R179s.

[BVEguy]

We're not even sure if they're definitely going to order the R179.

[mtattrain]

You are so right.

[WoodyRamesses]

I don't know about the R179 because I think the A willl have it.

[mtattrain]

We don't know about it, but you might be right.

[amzad89]

oooh interesting.. i just hope the d is on the r160s soon.

[amzad89]

lmfao wowzz since when did the d run on the r160s?

[BVEguy]

Never. It only happened twice with only 1 set...

[amzad89]

lmfaooooo cool catch :)

its not really the d line is it?

[BVEguy]

it is..

[BMT7thAvenueExpress]

I wish the D was part of Coney Island Yard and would have a mix of R160's and R68A's. Pretty much like the Q is now.

[uniqdymand]

the MTA is taking one of my favorite designs away NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[campsports3]

yeah it is a G.O.

[nizaralvarez1943257]

probably an N!

[JW72093]

Excellent!! I hope I can catch this.

[latios316]

me 2. new cars. I still miss the slant r40s though

[Train538]

Nice catch!!!!! 5 stars!!!!!
