I'm pretty sure that's a bluetooth beacon for the countdown clocks...

Speaking of countdown clocks they added more clocks on 103 st. 

Ok. I've just been waiting to ride that set ever since it left for CBTC testing. Didn't expect it to enter service now, but maybe it has. I didn't see it today so I don't know.

Do you have proof? Vids? Pics?

no pics or vids, but if i see it again ill take a pic if i can 

I was on the 7 all day today and didn't see it at all. I highly doubt it's in service because it is the primary CBTC test train and they are still testing CBTC components on it. I've heard it won't be in service until 2017.

trust me it was running. 

7866-7870+7860-7865 is running in service saw it at 103st

I saw it around 3:45 P.M. yesterday.

ohh then i have no idea

Is a train supposed to go on the local track after Mets Willets Point? If not, why did I see an R188 saying on the local track at the portal?

well there is a mets game going now and they use the express track to layup the trains 

7221-7230 in service since Monday, 7231-7240 out of service 7237 having probs.

7231-7240 is running as we speak saw it rolling down to flushing

Wow. But at the same time those of you that know you're gonna miss R62As on the better rack on on shots right now. Not immediatley, but don't wait until the the is 90% tech to take your last rides on it or whatever.

ohh no not me i could care less about those r62A bring on the new tech trains lol. The car i really miss is those redbirds

Lol I was omw to a job interview & I had to take the , and I didn't even see an R188 ????

i was on the 7 today and there was 4 r188 at the yard at around 1230pm. That is why you and i didnt see them in service.

 

I just saw 785?-784? (Forgot the number) running as we speak but as a test train Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

 

That's either 7833-7843 or 7844-7854. 

It was definitely 7844-7854

A double header from yesterday...

 

great catch 

I went all the way from Citi Field to Times Square today, not a single R188, and none were in the yards. Strange

There is one set on the yard right now and i saw another set (7811-7821) running express this morning

Yes It's official The R188 are in service on the 7

Hells yea its official i was just on it. I was on car 7813 was a smooth ride to flushing and the strip map is from main st. to times square and on the strip map also has 7circle and diamond it has a light under it indicating local or express. I wasnt expecting to ride the R188 today i guess i was lucky.

So now there are 2 sets if R-188s at corona?

Yes sir
