R179 

A lemon.

Railfanner 1: Bro, I rarely or never seen any R42s on the J/Z? And saw some new cars that snoozes when it stops and it’s on the A/C including the J/Z? what are those?

All railfanners: A lemon. Aka the troublesome car named the R179.

R179 

A lemon train made by Bombardier, which is faulty and makes a weird propulsion sound

I’m supposed that MTA Will get products like the r179 from Bombardier knowing the very unreliable HHP-8 locomotives from Amtrak
