Nice pics, and it was nice meeting you. Did you manage to get the R160?

The R160 chased the R32 W up to Ditmars, but came down first. I had wanted to catch the R32 W coming in, then get the R160 on the curve from the QBP platform, but I couldn't do it. :(

That probably explains this then:



What does this mean for all the R40 Slants that once paraded the W line?

That R-32 in the video is an N, not a W.

An N? The N runs on the local track at 34th Street?

Nights and weekends it does. And on weekdays trains are sometimes rerouted.

On weekends. After the R32 pulls in, there's an R68 on the other local track; presumably, that's an N. Unless someone was lucky enough to catch an R32 and an R68 W at the same time...

The south terminal rolls blurrily (as opposed to clearly) have "Stillwell Av" and "Coney Island."

You can clearly see that is a circle. There is no circle W in the R32 rollsigns.

What are you talking about? Just because one R32 is running on the W doesn't mean that they are replacing the slants on that line. Plus, CI does not have enough R32's assigned by a long shot to equip the W line.

But it would be nice if the took the R32's from the Fox and put them on the Whisky and vice-versa.

It was nice meeting you as well. My front pic of 8713 did not come out. When the R160 came in, I pressed the wrong button on the camera. Therefore, I only managed to get side pics of it.
Sorry to hear that you didn't get it. However, you will have plenty of time to get them-they will be on that line for years to come.
The R32S, R40S and R42s, you do not have much time to get those at all hence the reason why I was on the Astoria Line.
I might try going back there tomorrow. IMO, Broadway and 30 Avenue Stations are ideal for photos. 36 Avenue-the view was blocked.
