Here we see a train of R160s testing on the Franklin Shuttle! It seems like the automated announcements, station stop marker spacing, and signals were all being checked. Quite interesting and extremely rare to see a set of R160s on the Franklin Shuttle!
Check out the following videos to see R211s and R179s testing on the Franklin Shuttle:

Oh dang. Never did I expect the R160s to "test run" on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle.

@Aceve14 Год назад

All we need now is a 6-car R188 test train on the (S) 42nd Street Shuttle Train and we're in full circle and be set for life.

@samuelitooooo Год назад

I honestly don't expect this to happen because 6-car R62A replacements are already on the roadmap, and it wouldn't be that easy taking trainsets from the 7, through the B division, to finally bring them to 42 St. At least with the Franklin Ave shuttle there's plenty interlining between BMT and IND lines so trains can go anywhere.

@Thatgamingdiary Год назад

The question of a million dollars. How do we get the R188 from Flushing to the shuttle. And is there even a track connection from Flushing to the rest of the IRT? (7th Ave & Lexington)

@konnichiwasenpai312 Год назад

@@Thatgamingdiary/ there's no 7 trains that can connect to the rest of the IRT lines (unless if MTA will maybe add the tracks to the rest of the IRT lines which I know they'll never do)

Franklin Ave (S) will Extend The Longest Platforms to Fit 4 and 5 Car Train at Botanic Garden, Park Place and Franklin Ave - Fulton St. ❤😂

@graffmixer Год назад

Nice catch!!! Guess this will be the future train set of the shuttle!!! I could see the R143 be used instead of the R160

@anonymous3738 5 месяцев назад

This line is a continuation of the Brighton line’s local tracks. If the platforms were extended, then the line would no longer need to be served by a shuttle and its trunk line color could be pink since that color is unused. Or, it could be relocated underground, become a fully double-tracked line and merge onto the Crosstown line at Bedford-Nostrand Avenues plus have a center track for short turns and continue to Court Square or even along the Queens Boulevard line.

Are they testing for service on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle Or Something Else

@karatekidfahim3 Год назад

1) 1:07 why did the train arc a little on the third rail 2) can a r110b work as well?

@dkeithtag Год назад

1) probably a gap in the rail;2)R110Bs are extinct but happen to be the same car length as the standards that ran on the shuttle before you were born years ago in the 60s.

@TSSmina Год назад

That’s the regenerative brake feature onboard the train, in which sends the power back into the Third Rail as a method to save energy. When the train decelerates and the regenerative brake feature is in action, it sometimes may cause an arc between the contact shoe and third rail, which is completely normal.

Once the R68s retire, it's either heavy renovations to fit 4/5 car sets on the entire line or there needs to be a special order dedicated to the Franklin av shuttle

If they do choose to lengthen, four car sets is probably best. With this set, the entire train was almost able to fit at one of the platforms. Otherwise, it shouldn't be hard to order a custom NTT.

Even though this will never happen, could MTA convert a 4 car set into a 3 car set, with the extra car going to another 4 car-consist to make it 5 cars? Then, the 160A-1 would essentially become 160A-2 or 160A-3.

Possibly going to modify an r160 to a 3 car set in the future?🤔 After all they used to run 3 car 60’ sets before the r68, so definitely possible!

@dkeithtag Год назад

Well now that’s really cute, but it won’t actually work without some major modifications. The only station that four-car consist fits in completely is Prospect Park . Either they modify the platforms-a major undertaking-or they come up with a special dedicated consist like they have now. Three-car tech trains could work with minimal platform modifications. Good place for a modified set of R211Ts. Meanwhile, if someone grew some brains, they could save a few two-car R46s as backups and do a final GOH on the nine R68s currently available to extend their lives another 10 years or so. They could hack the current R46 enablers into shuttle switches and use as-is for minimal cost while working on platform upgrades and new tech dedicated rolling stock. I work on that line five days a week.

@xavierlove775 5 месяцев назад

Unlikely. Unlike regular subway stations, the shuttle platforms can’t accommodate more than 4 cars unless they extend the platforms. Since the R160 is 60 feet, they would have to be 3 car sets (A-B-A). If they extended the platform then it could be a 4 car shuttle (A-B-B-A) They could steal an 8 car set from ENY (They can take one 8 car train used on the L and make 2 trains out of those)
