    9510 and 9560 are the two pilot units. 9510-9559 are Allison and 9560-9619 are BAE.

    I'd like to see someone jump that without hitting their head... Not saying it's impossible but it's definitely not likely.

    Kings Highway has bases

    Probably covering for those units heading to MTA bus

    Eastern and Southern refer to BMT pre-unification with the IND. Eastern was anything out of East New York yard and Southern was anything out of Coney Island yard

    So if I'm understanding this correctly, a train equipped for QBL can theoretically run on the 7/L's CBTC but a train equipped for the 7/L can't run on QBL?

    As others have said before me, other than 14th Street-Union Square, the and 's stops in Midtown Manhattan are within walking distance of each other. Even Canal and Grand aren't that far apart from each other.

    I'm not a fan of that new shade of blue replacing their iconic shade of green but they sound fantastic!

    No and no. The train is under no obligation to always skip DeKalb (in fact unscheduled stops there are quite common) and there is no obligation for the train to stop at DeKalb when operating via 4th Avenue. The via West End was a G.O. a few years ago and it skipped DeKalb then as it would now under a de-interlining proposal. These are both non-issues.

    The assumption that they'll sit in the yard is categorically false especially considering offices will be reopening by the time they're all here. Bingo.

    This is what they should have looked like since day one. Beautiful.

    I thought the R211 was coming from the plant in Lincoln?

    Anything in there about subway installs?

    Usage has really picked up in Manhattan. I've seen it on the M8, M9, M15 and M102.

    Avenue J and Sheepshead Bay: bases

    Forgot to add the photos from an operator: also saw the screens on the B64 are now advertising OMNY being available on the bus even though they don't have readers yet.

    7447 has readers

    I happened to catch the M8 yesterday because it was less than 5 minutes away for once (also had pretty decent ridership), anyone know why/how 6739 has the same interior layout in the back as our now retired Orion 7 CNGs? It kinda threw me off because to my knowledge the other units at Quill all have the longitudinal seats in the back.

    They don't want to use the switches at West 4th which I think is fair. Other GOs involving the on 8th Avenue also complicate things.

    They didn't really make us stop using them. It was more of a gentle push to use pens instead in 5th and 6th grade so that by 7th grade we were using pens instead of pencils for everything except math.

    Yeah they should just go with the R211 RGBs at this point...

    1998 kid here, they taught us cursive in elementary school until the 3rd grade and then *poof* it just disappeared never to be seen again.

    "TG" is a glitch that some of the 2016 Prevosts have had since they were still the X routes. I'm not exactly sure what causes it.
