Q Second Avenue/Broadway Express/Brighton Local

The Q Second Avenue/Broadway Express/Brighton Local[2] is a rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. Its route emblem, or “bullet”, is colored yellow since it uses the BMT Broadway Line in Manhattan.

The Q operates at all times between 96th Street/Second Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Daytime service makes express stops in Manhattan and local stops in Brooklyn; late night service makes local stops along its entire route.

The Q was originally the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT)’s 1 service; beginning in 1920, it ran along the BMT Brighton Line in Brooklyn and the BMT Broadway Line in Manhattan. In the past, the Q has run many different service patterns in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens, both local and express, including QB service on the Manhattan Bridge and QT service via the Montague Street Tunnel. From 1988 to 2001, Q service ran along the IND Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan, with a bullet colored orange. The Q also ran in Queens at various points, including to Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard on the BMT Astoria Line from 2010 to 2016, Forest Hills–71st Avenue on the IND Queens Boulevard Line for a brief period in 2001, and 21st Street–Queensbridge on the IND 63rd Street Line until 2001. There was also a Q variant from 2001 to 2004, which ran express in Brooklyn and had its southern terminus at Brighton Beach. In 2017, the Q was rerouted along the Second Avenue Subway.

There are two versions of the R160: the R160A (built by Alstom, numbered 8313-8712, 9233-9802, & 9943-9974) and R160B (built by Kawasaki, numbered 8713-9232 & 9803-9942).[9] The two car types are nearly identical to each other, and differ only in a few ways; they are interoperable and can be interchanged with each other.

The R160 cars are configured in either four-car sets or five-car sets. 372 R160A cars (8313-8652 & 9943-9974) are configured as four-car sets. All of the four-car trains are maintained at East New York Yard for the BMT Eastern Division (J/Z, L, and M). The remaining 630 R160A cars and all R160Bs are configured as five-car sets for use on IND and BMT main line services. Some are maintained at Jamaica Yard, typically operating on the E and F, and the rest are maintained at the Coney Island Yard, typically operating on the N, Q and W.

The R160A base order was part of a $961,687,121 contract funded in part by a grant from the Federal Transit Administration.[10] The primary base order of the R160 class consisted of 660 cars, 400 R160As to be built by Alstom, and the remaining 260 R160Bs to be built by Kawasaki. The contract included options for further orders, which, if exercised, would have brought total business with NYCT to about US$2.4 billion, for 1,700 subway cars, and Kawasaki would have manufactured 40% (680 cars) of the 1,700 cars. The R160 fleet was purchased at an average cost of $2.0 million USD per car.
