Tons of routing permutations are programmed into the R160. But is interesting to see that particular routing because it implies that a "V" to Canarsie could be a real route in the future. |

The (V) would follow the route of the K line onto the J line and then hang a right at B'Way Junction. Of course, it had better be a 480' V train and not have any of those pesky R-46s on it. |

A train composed of 1 4 car R-160 unit and 1 5 car R-160 unit, 9 cars in total should be able to fit the Eastern Division platforms. |

Feasible - except that there are not enough 4-car links to do it without shorting the east. Part of the Otion II order is 16 additional 4-car links to fill out the L Line. |

One of the advantages of the R-160 design is that if additional 4 car units are needed to implement a 9 car service, one of the non operating cars can be pulled out of a 5 car unit to make it a 4. |
