Hi Randyo - at times I forget that the R-160's can become any kind of train route with just an electronic sign change at the flick of a switch. In the past I have seen R-42 type trains stored at the Eastern Parkway yard or coming into service there at the station.

I would be interesting to see a train labeled one thing to suddenly change it's electronic signage to something else, while at a passenger station, etc. In the very distant past #2 or #5 trains in the Bronx would be sent down the "wrong route" the conductors would say to "disregard the signs" this is a #2 at 149th Street-Grand Concourse when headed to the westside, when just a few stops before it was a #5 train. Stuff happens.

Yes, now a train "is" whatever it is assigned to be at any given moment.

Mike
