MTA New York City Subway: R160B Siemens Q train with a glimpse of R46 at Sheepshead Bay (1/3/21)

In this clip, you will see an R160B Siemens Q train making a stop at Sheepshead Bay to Coney Island-Stillwell Av terminal. As you all know, R46s are the main fleet of the Q line as Queens Blvd line now has CBTC on some parts and that the main fleet, for now are R160s. The leftover Siemens units that were out of Coney Island 8913-8917, 9008-9012, 9023-9102 are at Jamaica to get CBTC installed as they sent Alstom units 9833-9922 in exchange for Astoria's N and W lines. Mostly, now, you can find an R160 on the Q as a tripper from the R to 96 St/2 Av or N to 96 St. R160s on the Brighton line are pretty random now. And, fun fact that the R160 and R46 are flipped in direction as the R160 isn't the primary fleet for the Q now with CBTC going on. Also, welcome to the first weekday (full week) of 2021.
