The proportion of R160 trainsets on the E line has gone up significantly - to over 50% in my opinion. The highest R160 serial no. I have seen on the E is 9437. Given that there are cars from the 90XX, 91XX series also operating on the 'E', that's a lot of cars. Of course, other lines like the 'F' must have gotten some of them. But it is not uncommon to see 3-4 R160 E's in a span of 10-15 minutes at any given station.
On the topic of glitches in the new R160s, today's is a serious one. The AC seemed to have failed in car 9186. Non functioning displays or the occasional jammed door is one thing. An AC failure seems more serious. I transferred to the adjacent car where I found this tag. It's interesting to see that they're crediting two places for the manufacture of this car. Never seen that sort of thing before
Apologies for the shake. What is made in Yonkers and what is made in Lincoln? And how does stuff from Lincoln come to Yonkers? On flatbed railcars?
