R179 F train at 57 st (First day of R179 service on the F line)

[@subwaymanYT]

We got the R179 F & M before GTA 6. This is insane.

[@2500Creations]

It’s only a matter of time that the (E) (R) and (G) get them next along with the R211s

[@lionfan11]

And R179 V train

[@alexcampos0623]

GTA 6 should put r179 cars in the game since GTA 4 used r32.

I live near the F train, I'm so glad that I'll ride more of these

[@kevonnivens]

They're probably on there for testing and for cbtc + nice video

[@TransitFans]

That’s correct

[@GabysCake]

FINALLY, I ALWAYS WANTED IT!

[@FDNYEnthusiast276]

Crazy cuz i just saw that R179 At Stillwell avenue

[@techzoe3898]

Nice, I caught an R179 F at Sutphin Blvd last night

[@zakitransitguytv]

Now i definitely need to go new york first the r179 on the m line now on the f line now i wanna see how fast goes on the queens blvd line express

[@notmrpopular0099]

I wonder, if the R179's CBTC equipment is successful, will this be rolled out to the entire fleet? Last I know the Nassau St and 6th Avenue Lines may/will have the CBTC installed soon...

[@gxmball_7044]

finally something that's not a 160...........

what

[@Leonard_Wilson]

I find the R160’s to be boring. The R179 has cool propulsion noises.

[@reinnegroni8462]

Wait a second! A R179 F train? 😮

[@TheLordAI]

I doubt for long

[@TransitFans]

It’s only there temporary

[@kirkzevola5004]

Most likely the same reason why an R179 ran on the M line. Communications Based Train Control testing on the Queens Boulevard & Culver Lines for future CBTC operations on the 8th Avenue Line & Fulton Lines.

[@Neilson_YT]

will the entire queens blvd get R179s

[@kevinmontes9933]

Yes, since more R211s are added on the A & C lines. More R179 are coming to Jamaica Yard

[@Neilson_YT]

@@kevinmontes9933 no I mean will the E and R get R179 as well

[@MrRailfan]

​@AmusedCanadianYT i doubt it, this looks like a borrowed set from the A line.

[@freshpotatolikesaviation]

@@MrRailfan But since R179s are now CBTC active, with the A line filling up with R211s, the extra 179s could run on the QBL

[@kevinmontes9933]

@@Neilson_YT oh. Yeah I think they might get it. It’s for CBTC test just like they add R179 on the M

[@KennethRembertNYC]

Way to go, @MrRailfan!

[@Itz_MaxTheCat]

So if the F and M getting r179 would that means some of their R160s will go to some lines like the Q?

[@R188SubCar84]

Yoooo, I Gotta See This At Jackson Heights!

[@DANNYN224]

Where will all r160 train cars will go so does that mean f train will be all r179

[@Reformperson]

There’s only like 14 10 car sets so if anything it’s likely going to be a mix of the R160 and R179. Even if all the R179 Sets that the A used go to Jamaica the E F and R lines are expected to still have R160s as a majority fleet.

[@AtyabNasir]

Now I can see it in my home station

[@holzman00]

Holy shit!

[@AtyabNasir]

What the godamn shit 😱😱🤯

[@norifromreallife-di7hi120]

WHY IS THERE 179 SERVICE ON THE F THIS IS SO CURSED 😭

[@TransitFans]

I look at it has a blessing for the F having a different model than R160

[@MTArailfanner300]

First we got the R179 M now we got the R179 F

[@ratuldeoun7228]

I hope they can add a fix to the slower “The next stop is” announcements on the R179 😭

[@MrRailfan]

@ratuldeoun7228 looks like that's consistent on all the 179s route programs

[@justarandomchannelonyt]

I noticed that because it’s so delayed

[@ratuldeoun7228]

@@MrRailfan Is there no way the MTA can reconfigure the software to not have that delay?

Pitkin getting tired of these trains

[@danielwrynn4707]

I'm thinking with all the brand new R211s coming into the subway system, they'll be shifting all the older equipment to different lines.

[@CR2Creative]

Hehe you wish

[@TransitFans]

Well the R46 from Pitkin will be sent to Coney Island and the R68 from Concourse to Coney Island yards for the N Q and W.

[@danielwrynn4707]

Thanks for the information.
