Comments:

The chronicles are back & in a big way. This c.o.t. was done on day 1 of the initial 30 revenue test run for the R160-B. I couldn't pass up a history making opportunity.

Although my R160-B day didn't start off well due to idiotic MTA employees, I would not let them take away my enthusiasm. The ride was prerrt decent with the only 2 delays occurring during the first part of the trip.

The first delay occurred at Queensboro Plaza as the train was slow & crawled out of the station. Normally I would find that to be slighlty annoying however I didn't on this trip. I understood that the T/O's were being more cautious while operating the new car set. The only downer was the somewhat slow run through the 60th St tube.
