EXCLUSIVE! : Coney Island Bound R160A-2 Coupled With R160B Siemens Cars On The N Line @ 18th Ave

EXCLUSIVE! : Coney Island Bound R160A-2 Coupled With R160B Siemens Cars On The N Line @ 18th Ave

Car Numbers were R160A-2 8663-8667 and R160B Siemens 9043-9047

The second time this type of pairing has ever been in service, I believe that this is another test to see if the Siemens cars can be perfectly linked together with the Alstom A-2 Cars. I rode on this set and the ride was rather smooth. Hope more of these comes into play soon!

@fivef00tgiant - Thats because its my camera, not the train.

[slicingwater]

@Caitsith810 How do you know which Propulsion sound is from the r160 Alstom and which one is from the Siemens.

i once caught an R160B coupled with an R160A-2. Both of them had Alstom Propulsions (obviously different door sounds). I caught them while I was riding home at the Avenue U station.
