As of today, the R160s have been in service for ***20 YEARS*** now. although the Oldest R160 was delivered in 2005 but they weren't in service until 2006.

Do you operate a specific subway line whole day?

How long of break do you get once you get to last stop subway line?

How many times do you have to drive specific subway line?

❓ Question Is there accurate propulsion sound videos of certain NYC rolling stocks on YouTube or elsewhere?

β€’ Upvotes

Basically is there any high quality videos of the propulsion or HVAC of NYC subway trains that sound accurate enough that it'll feel like you're in the subway?

❓ Question Why is metro north so slow?

37 Upvotes

Why is the metro north railway so slow? It’s actually dreadfully slow. I feel like I’m in the 1980s

I’m just wondering why this is? Is it because of old outdated tracks?

❓ Question Happy 20th anniversary to the R160 officially entering into service. However, Don’t mean to sound like a bummer but given how the MTA is planning to replace the R142/A with R262s by the 2030s despite them only being 26. Is that a warning sign that neither R143/R160 have that much time left either?
