NYC Subway BMT R68 (Q) Train Ride From DeKalb Av to 14 St-Union Sq

During my NYC trip in June 2024, this was the first time riding a R68 on the Q Train! I previously rode R68 on other routes before, but not the Q. In 2019, I rode an R160 on the Q, this time an R68 and not even an R46. I rode this train between Prospect Park and Times Square.
Surprisingly, this Q train rerouted due to a signal issue going on in the Manhattan Bridge. Unfortunately I couldn't get any good view on the Manhattan Bridge, instead this train went along the R line, making extra stops along the R line in Lower Manhattan, and using R line tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan. This train filled up with people, but was never crowded and packed up with too many people. This was on a weekend, so there were some train routes not operating today such as the S Franklin Av Shuttle, bus shuttles were being used that day.
Don't know when I will visit NYC again, but these R68 trains can end up retiring anytime soon if NYC Subway keeps receiving newer trains like the R211.
