The R179s have been pulled from service for the second time in a row due to a train de-coupling while in service on the (A) line at Chambers Street station. The entire fleet has been pulled out of service until further notice. The MTA released a statement saying that each and every R179 train car will be inspected and that what happened is unacceptable.

The issues with the R179 cars, which serve the A, C, J and Z lines, also arise on the cusp of New York City’s anticipated Phase 1 of reopening on June 8th.
