R68 may refer to:
Broad Channel is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. It occupies the southern portion of Rulers Bar Hassock (known colloquially as "Broad Channel Island"), which is the only inhabited island in Jamaica Bay, with three thousand inhabitants. The neighborhood stands on Big Egg Marsh, an area of fill approximately 20 blocks long and 4 blocks wide; the community is an inholding within the Gateway National Recreation Area, a unit of the U.S National Park Service. The area comprises several artificial canals separating dead-end residential blocks. It is connected to the rest of Queens by road and subway bridges.
Prior to European settlement, the Jameco and Canarsie bands of Lenape Native Americans frequented this area. During the 17th century, Dutch settlers established a community on the island and began harvesting oysters, clams, shrimp, and fish.
Broad Channel remained a parcel within the town of Jamaica until the consolidation of New York City in 1898. The northern (and larger) portion of the island is part of Gateway National Recreation Area and is managed as part of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, the only wildlife refuge in the National Park System. The waters and marsh islands of the refuge entirely surround the community.
Electronic signage, (also called electronic signs or electronic displays), are illuminant advertising media in signage industry. Major electronic signage include fluorescent signs, HID (high intensity displays), incandescent signs, LED signs, and neon signs. Besides, LED signs and HID are so-called digital signage.
Electronic signs may be used indoors or outdoors. The display technologies are varied and changing quickly. Because of new display technologies, electronic signs are able to present more clear, colorful, and vivid images. Animated electronic signs gradually replace traditional static signs and increasingly take signage market share.
It is not difficult to have an electronic sign for your business; however, it is not simple to get a permit to install an electronic sign. There are two terms for the advertising industry, off-premises advertising device and on-premises advertising device. Usually, there are different regulatory and zoning set up by different cities for different types of advertising media.
Managed to get a shot of this while going home. Notice that this train consists of four R68 cars and four R68A cars. Not very common, although it is technically possible. Later this same day, I returned to catch the R179s passing by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8mc1bdeG4E Statistically, the probability of a mixed consist of R68s and R68As running on the A line is quite low. I'm glad to have caught it!

An R68 OOS Schoolcar with a changing rollsign leaving Coney Island.
This video is for all the NYC subway fans who have trouble telling the difference between the R68 and R68A subway cars. Please leave annotations on.
This set of R68s on the G line is testing a new electronic sign package, PA/IC system, and CCTV surveillance camera system from CSiT. Quite interesting!

people seemed to like this video so i thought of making an extended version with thier propullsion package
Title says it all.
The R-46 and the r68 are similar in design and some don't know the difference between the trains. This video may help you differentiate between the two trains. Also I forgot to add the rollsigns. The R-46 has a LCD rollsigns and the r-68 has plain rollsigns
Westinghouse Amrail R68 set 2860-2863, in service on the G, has been fitted with a pilot LED Passenger Information Display (PID) to both qualify the Chinese supplier; CRRC (China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation), and for possible retrofitting of the R68/R68A & R62/R62A fleets. Today was this set's first day in service post LED electronic display retrofit. So far, it only displays the line, time, and the message "Thank you for riding with MTA New York City Transit!", but the system has the capability to display next stop info and play pre-recorded automated announcements, features that I presume will be activated in due time as testing progresses. Enjoy this preview, and stay tuned for the full G line ride videos on 2862, which is a nice, loud howler =) G train round trip ride: G train...
