A couple of weeks ago we mentioned that the MTA was going to preview its new R160 cars for the riding public. Chiba at SubText was nice enough to hike out to Brooklyn and snap some pictures of the event for all of us who were too lazy to go. True to the rumors, the R160s are fairly similar to the R143s that are already riding the rails-- but they do have cool new line displays inside the cabin. Check out Chiba's post for all the details-- apparently the signs can change to show different lines-- so when the A switches to the F track, everyone won't be so confused.

I wonder if they can retrofit the changable display to the R142 and R4143 fleets. That would be quite useful, especally on the IRT where there seems to be more line switches especially on weekends.
Now, if the trains would only go where the spiffy signs say they will on the weekends.

Maybe we can have subway trains that play muzak or elevator music and spray air freshener every twenty minutes.
Yeah I saw the new trains today too... they look like the old trains, or... wait...

now if they would only put up signs on the platforms that let you know when the next train is pulling into the station...
