Honestly the R160s are not needed on the C since they have a couple more of R179s and now R211T.

@guillermojimenez2719 5 ай бұрын

because the C needs its R179s. Even though there currently one 10-Car R211A on the C, it is probably not permanent.

@CLBT7437 5 ай бұрын

It's a ten car R211T, and it most likely IS permanent

R160 (C) may be gone, but looking on the bright side, it has R211T’s now. As Marilyn Monroe once said, “Sometimes good things fall apart so better things could fall together.”

Yeah but the 211T is out of service now nobody knows how long

There's only two if the gangway cars,one is not in service. They are Not reliable and probably not see much service, just like the very unreliable 179s

If the R160s were being removed from the (C) line why weren't they moved to Coney Island Yard? I Loved the R160 and R160B (N) (Q) and (W) trains...

Why is the C not 10 car. Hate having to run to the train when an 8 car set pulls in.

@brett8706 4 ай бұрын

That is a great question. The sea is the only line to have a combination of 480 feet and 600 feet trains. Although in a config of 8 cars, the R46 consists are 600 feet long..

The C Train will eventually go back to R160s again one day or Never

@unbelievabler504 5 ай бұрын

Those R160s were from the M line. They were the cars stored in Jamaica Yard. Since the M wasn't going to use them for the foreseeable future,it made sense to put the cars where they could be the most use. I guess the 63rd st Tunnel G.O is about over..

What is the point of swapping 8 Car R160's on the C Line for 8 Car R179's on the J Line when the R211T's running on the C Line are 10 Car trains?

@AlgonquinRider810 5 ай бұрын

The R179s from ENY are there to provide 8 min midday service on the C. Guess since they already had the 179 they would just send the R179 in place and send the spare 160s back to eny

@nezarionbraxton8790 5 ай бұрын

the R-46 Trains are still here because there's obviously not enough of the new fleet to replace them yet, thats why and to be perfectly honest the R-160s really didnt need to be on the C-line anyway i mean im pretty certain thats the main reason why the R-179s were already there in the first place, my personal take on all of this is that even though i grew up with the R-46 fleet and they are in fact my childhood trains and i love the shit outta them, a mixture of R-179s and R-211Ts on the C-line would look better but knowing the MTA, they're gonna do whatever suits their interests versus whatever WE may think.

Boooo. R179s have larger windows. Leave those on the J. The C is 100% underground.
