Saw a R160 on the M line at 5PM this afternoon at 36th street. Was riding in another R160 on the N line. Couldn't see much and didn't get any pictures from my seat but did see two numbers for the car: 8471 and 8472.

I live near J line by Cleveland St and always seeing them testing r160s stopping at other stations and open doors at opposite side of platform so no one gets on.

I got on past monday at Broad St about 9:47am, going northbound. Maybe, that was coming from Bay Parkway, then at MET, I transfer to other R-160 at MET Av.

I'm seeing less R160's on the Z line. I think the MTA did their usual robbing Peter to pay Paul routine.

Of course. It's not a coincidence that the M serves more affluent areas (especially on the West End stretch).

Well, look at it this way. They'll be back on both the M and the Z, and even the J, when more R160As come in. They're up to 8516 now.
