My revised NTT assignments amidst uncertainty with MTA funding and the modern political climate.

I guess that answers my questions on why majority of the R160 cars are very dirty, and not performing in the best condition. Too many of them in Jamaica yard that they just give up on taking good care of them. My poor R160B Siemens 😢

Hopefully, they'll send some of them to Coney Island Yard so that the ones that stay in Jamaica can receive better care. It would be a shame if those cars had to retire prematurely. Quality over quantity.

@@CLBT7437 what is your honest opinion on the R160 cars that run out of Jamaica yard in terms of performance and cleanliness?

[@CLBT7437]

@ishrakkhan5541 The cleanliness is in need of improvement, especially on the E and F. Performance is simply a toss-up since with 1290 cars, I'm almost completely certain that very few of them receive maintenance on a regular basis.

@@CLBT7437agreed. There is too many to keep up with, which is why they store them at nights between Queens Plaza and 71st Ave. I can't count how many times a week a delay happens on the line because of a train with a mechanical problem.

@ishrakkhan5541 Some are also stored on the 4th Avenue Express tracks overnight and at Coney Island Yard. Very inefficient, and a waste of modern rolling stock.
