@sonfn173 I Don't lol It's Been Over A Year And I'm Missing The 32s Like Crazy...It's Just Not What I'm Used To..But The 160s Are Workhorses And Get The Job Done Efficiently
@VINCENT CHENG The R143 would not run on the A since it is only in 4 car sets and the A uses full length 600' long trains of 10 cars. It could possibly run on the C but that is highly unlikely since all 212 cars are assigned to ENY yard.
Are there any plans to make the express tracks usable? It would come in handy especially since some recent weekend GOs have required single tracking from Rockaway Blvd to the Airport.
I know A way to make the station ADA-Accessible. They should rebuild the southbound entrance. 2 HEET Turnstiles, 1 exit only Turnstile, and an emergency gate lead to a new token booth with a ramp that leads to Hawtree Street. They should also add a fare control to the manhattan-bound platform that has a ramp, but with no station agent.
This comment is hella old lmao, R179s are fairly reliable now. And what does me using Gacha have anything to with it? The entire community isn't bad, so get your facts straight.
I see your out and about making vids maybe i'll see you this week of recording! Also 0:43 where were you that looks like an amazing place to see some trains!
Maor Edry I hope not because R179s have not been doing a good job on the A and C line so yeah maybe F,R,and E should receive them. R160s should stay on the A and C line.
14:28 that's the exact point in which the R44/R46 broke the world speed record for the fastest subway train Reaching 88.46 MPH. Cool right! Also the R44 train was dubbed the name "lemon" because of its 2 year late arrival and because of its mechanical issues. That is until it reached such an excessive speed
The R160s should have been the signature fleet of the (A) line. I think the R179s should have gotten CBTC installed when they were taken out of service in 2020 so that some 10 car R179s could be reassigned to the Jamaica yard to replace R160s that were moved to the (A) line. Not only would this have made the R160 (A) trains permanent, but there would also be R179 (E), (F), (G), (R), and (Q) trains (The (Q) line borrows a train from the (R) during morning rush hours).
@ Well, now I’m not sure if it’s actually happening because I heard the R179 currently on the F is for testing purposes only and could possibly return to the A at some point. I didn’t know any better when I wrote the comment two years ago lol.
I like your camera settings! Did you have this at 1/60 shutter or 1/120 shutter. Also did you use an ND filter or change the Focal Aperture? Beautiful train shots!!
The first 24 minutes or so of this video are my clips. I use a Panasonic XC-1500, which has built in switchable ND filters. I often use the 1/4 and 1/16 ND filters.
@@DJHTransport Awesome!! That really makes your 60fps videos look that much smoother. I use ND16 and 32 usually on my GoPro a lot. But I record at 120fps a lot so usually for that setting and 240fps I use an ND8 as well. I have 120fps shots on my channel.
All of the A train R160s came from Jamaica and Culver yards, since they were taken out of F service due to CBTC related work on the Culver Line (switch work at Kings Hwy).
@@superistic911 All 5-car R160 sets now belong at Jamaica, Culver, and Church Avenue yards, and these sets can transfer yards over. But because some of these sets originated at Coney Island, that’s what u still call them today.
A few cars got transferred but I’m not sure if they went into service (given that J and M service is covered by spare cars in the yard due to reduced L service).
Why? It’s basically useless for that idea. If anything, what they should do for long term resilience is actually replace some station pairs with a station in between. For example, Hewes and Lorimer on the J and M replaced with a larger station at Union Avenue, and 71st and 79th on the D can be replaced with a single stop at Bay Ridge Pkwy. This allows for better social distancing.
@@TheRailLeaguer and how is reducing the amount of stations gonna allow for better social distancing. Not to mention that building new stations and demolishing current stations will cost a lot of money
@Ali Muhammad I think the R142 sounds slightly better than the R160... The high-pitched propulsion sound is like something that is out of this world But then again, this is only imo.
I don't understand why the MTA had spare R160's lying around to begin with. Wouldn't they want to keep all of their functiong NTT trains in service and keep some spare R46's and 68's lying around instead?
F train service has been reduced because trains are unable to short turn at Kings Hwy until the fall. There is also nowhere suitable to turn around the trains as well. As a result, several R160s were available to use for A train service. Once the R179 issues are fixed and the switch work at Kings Hwy is completed, these R160s are going back.
Nothing out yet. Most of the service on the J/Z and M are currently served by spare R143 and R160s from the L line. A set was moved over to the East NY Yard, but it’s sitting there just in case more service is needed. However, I do hear that some cars might be out, but this is unknown at this time.
There were 9 R143s on the J yesterday plus a CBTC R160. I know an R32 was sitting on the ENY yard lead track which led to some speculation but I dont think it ended up running.
They have said that they're not using it because the J/Z have enough trains for a whole day. The only thing that's stopping them from using R32's is the L, because the L isn't using 3-5 minute service.
4:26 i could see the train shaking and the operator actually reacts to it by him rocking back and fourth

Officially
a
Ider that. Why'd they leave the A?
In 2006, It was just one train used for testing. This is the first time they have been a significant portion of the equipment for the A line.
Why did the A line use R46? They’re even older than the R160’s.
Great shots, brother!!!
Great collab. Hope to do more in the future
I rode on this type of train twice already, I wasn’t surprised though. Since these were great temporarily replacements
We have now the final reason why the A had to use R46.

No.
Ggwp! R160s weren't on the A for a long time
Thanks for giving me credit for a few of those clips once again!
The R160s should have been the signature fleet of the (A) line.
I think the R179s should have gotten CBTC installed when they were taken out of service in 2020 so that some 10 car R179s could be reassigned to the Jamaica yard to replace R160s that were moved to the (A) line. Not only would this have made the R160 (A) trains permanent, but there would also be R179 (E), (F), (G), (R), and (Q) trains (The (Q) line borrows a train from the (R) during morning rush hours).
Here from the future, one R179 is currently in service on the F, so this might actually be happening now.
@ Well, now I’m not sure if it’s actually happening because I heard the R179 currently on the F is for testing purposes only and could possibly return to the A at some point. I didn’t know any better when I wrote the comment two years ago lol.
Hi ! this camera´s quality is awesome !!! Witch one is it?

It's reminding you it used to be a BMT Broadway Train before it got turned into an IND 8th Avenue Train.

Beach 67st was my favorite station
Love your videos as always. Question. If the R160s supposedly came from the F line, what is being used to replace the missing ones on the F?
The F just uses less trains than usual
The F is operating with reduced service due to switch and signal work at kings highway. This frees up extra trains for the A.

This is better. R160 should operate on the A regularly. R179s might be better off in Coney Island if this is where they came from.
