The E, F, and R services are all based out of Jamaica yard with the E running exclusively R160's, the R running almost exclusively R46's with a couple R160 sets appearing here and there, and the F running mostly R160's, but with some trains using R46 cars on a daily basis.
I believe the F and R share the R46 fleet, meaning that all the R46's that run on the F are also frequently used on the R. The same is true with the R160's that occasionally appear on the R. They are from the F's fleet. What is really puzzling is that while the F and R regularly run both equipment types, the E never uses R46's at all. The most recent footage I've seen of one on the E is from back when it was still mostly R32's. Is there any reason why the MTA doesn't ever want to run R46's on the E?
