ᴴᴰ Original R160 N train via D Line Announcements ( "via Broadway Local" / "via West End Line")

Here is the Original R160 N train announcement program for a N train being rerouted via Broadway Local line and West End line (via the D line). When the R160s were first being tested on the N line, they featured announcements stating the trunk line name instead of the usual "via the _ line" . Thanks to numerous contributions, I've pieced together the full announcement program from the 2005-2006 years prior to it being updated to what we have now.

Man I miss the (M) to bay pkwy thanks for bringing us down mta memory lane as you do so well and I also miss the Atlantic-pacific announcement

[@Eureeka1989]

In my opinion, the MTA should've kept stating trunk lines, instead of 'via the letter line', when the train is being rerouted. It would make sense on what line the train is when rerouted. But in 2008, I guess the MTA wanted to make it simple, and add 'via the letter line' to make things easier for riders to understand what line they are being rerouted to.

[@m_duuhh]

MTA has been trying to get riders to know what trunk lines are for a long time. By them putting it on subway maps to them adding it on train displays, most ppl still dont know the train lines by trunk, only by which color and letter/number the train is

[@GamingWeekends1]

tbh if its in manhattan, i would do the trunk line. however, if its in the other boroughs, list the letter line

[@ItsDuckToYou]

tbh I liked when it said this is a Manhattan bound N local train bc her voice is better and I grew up with it

[@BenTheMiner]

I can recall that old programs like these have a pause before the station is announced, the overheads said the station and then "NEXT" instead of the current "THE NEXT STOP IS" and then the station. Specifically for the first R160B on the N train, the original Manhattan bound N announcement in Brooklyn says the one shown except it didn't say Local.

[@charlyl9252]

For example, in an R160 a train video in 2006, the overhead said “BEACH 36 ST NEXT” instead of “THE NEXT STOP IS” and then “BEACH 36 ST”

OH YES I REMEMBER THAT

Always love hearing the original NTT announcements. The late night transfers at 14th Street and 34th Street were used until about 2015 when the (Q) began running local.

[@darrelh3188]

13:08 if you pause it with good timing, it'll show transfers to the (2),(3),(4),(5),(B),(D),(N),(NX),(QB),(QJ),(RJ),(RR), and LIRR. Neato easter egg, Mr. Railfan!

Very Good Mr.Railfan! Do You Happen To Have The Original (E) Announcements Or 2001 R143 (J) Announcements?

[@MJBYouTubeNetwork]

This is a Coney Island Bound N Train via the West End Line.
Okay, Catherine. 😂 They should've kept this announcement. They even had a chance with those with the Sea Beach Rehab project!

[@keemaneedickens9136]

The West End Line?! Inconceivable.

[@blakemcnamara9105]

The trunk line announcements were a little throwback to the past. Too bad they got rid of them as now passengers don't know line names anymore which is arguably more important than knowing letters.

[@7linearmy336]

Before the W program got updated, it had an alternate "Transfer to the M60 bus" announcement. Did you happen to record that by any chance?

[@MrRailfan]

Yes I have that

Mr rail fan do you mind if I use your announcement for a train Simulator called Openbve

[@MrRailfan]

You can, I actually used to develop for it a while ago. Havent had much time to make any routes though. I made most of the cabins that are used for nyc subway routes.
