Saw R68A N set at Queensboro Plaza yesterday. Why did the MTA swap B and N sets?

Nothing odd about this. R68A sets assigned to Coney Island yard occasionally wander onto lines based from that yard, which include the N and Q.

TJ: Another thing to remember about NYCT's Subway car assignments is that cars are primarily assigned to a maintenance shop
and/or yard and not to a specific line...
