R160s to hit passenger service end of august. Thoughts?

I have been away from the NYC subway board for a while, and i was wondering if any of you knew about the R160s supposed to be making their in service debut on the N this month at the end? Can anyone confirm this? I heard this through the Grapevine of the B Division Queens boulevard lines. Its good to be MTA employee! Cause altho i work for Metro North, i can still learn things before public, and RTO operations is usually very kind to us other MTA folk..... Except token clerks.....

maybe

I'll believe it when I see it

Better believe it! they were in service today! I rode from 36th street to Queensboro Plaza. 8722 was the lead unit northbound! Train is a combination of a R142 and a R143! Its excellent, speaks soooo slowly, and its a great ride! u guys gotta catch it! it will Be OUT OF SERVICE AFTER 9PM.

I saw an R160 set on an N train zoom through 8th Street this evening around 5:15.
Cool!

I REGRET TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT THE R160 DID NOT RUN TODAY DUE TO EMERGENCY GENERAL ORDERS REQUIRING TRACKWORK. I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL RUN TOMORROW. ANYONE KNOW ANY DETAILS?
