Re: [PHOTO] Mystery Photo - AB # 2644

Was the 14th St-Canarsie line able to run 8 car standards? If it could I've always wondered why they didn't create 9 car trains of R143/R160 for it. At least before CBTC they could have put a 4 car and 5 car R160 together.

I remember when they extended platforms on the Brighton line thinking they were going from 8 cars to 10 cars, never realizing it was already 9 cars long, plus or minus a few feet. I never really knew how long the triplexes were, but it had never occurred to me that the standards were longer than the R27s replacing them.
