I was curious of the status of the R179 cars. Could a burn set be here before the opening of the 1st half of the second avenue subway and if so,what line would it test on? I haven't heard a word.

I thought you had information since there was no question mark at the end.

The Pilot Train was "rumored" to arrive this week, but haven't seen or heard anything as of yet...

Wouldn't know when the train would actually go on the road, Car Equipment has to familiarize itself with the mechanics of the 179's.

Ive always wondered why the R160 was never assigned to the "A" line. I heard somewhere issues regarding the R160 cars via Broad Channel but even if this was so, have the R160 assigned to "A" Lefferts Boulevard stretch.

Having a train be locked to one of the two terminals is risky. What if a train broke down in a position to make the lefferts branch useless?

If it runs on the A, it should run everywhere the A goes.

According to MTA board materials from January, the first 10-car test train is supposed to arrive in June. We'll see.
