  1. I have a feeling that the R188 will test on the 7 line in Mid to late May since recently I heard the test train team talking about the rail comparison of the test track and the service track at Gun Hill RD on Thursday. If only taken a picture of that event.
  2. the MTA sent the the cars 7211-7215 to the Pitkin Yard for testing on the Broad Channel track after the conversion, there is pictures revealing the location
  3. the last time I was there at Yonkers, 16 cars were out on the lot.
  4. this was on my mind for a while, does anyone thinks that the test track at Broad channel contains the CBTC equipment for the R188 testing making the process more faster and already on the 7 train, because the Dyre Ave Line test track is having CBTC equipment being install few weeks ago and we all know what Sandy did to the Broad Channel tracks. give me your opinions,
  5. No new cars are able to go directly to Corona because they have to be tested before sending to the 7 line.
  6. when is this happening so I could cancel my travel plan and record this with some shots
  7. i just taken car#1654 which means 1651-1655 is still assign to the Corona Yard, I don't know about 1656-1660 whereabouts.
  8. I saw car# 7833-7837 at the E-180 Street Yard on Thursday and also 7827-7832 link with 7822-7826
  9. The Corona Yard can handle 506 R188 cars, the extension project included tail tracks in case there isn't tracks available at the yard during off-hours and the weekends, lets face it there are maintenance trains using a few tracks at Corona.
  10. Any news that the R188 are going to the 7 Line for testing.
  11. Another idea is to use color backlight for local and express on the area where the upward rectangle LCD sign where #7 is display, any thoughts if this is good idea or not?
  12. 7816-7821 & 7827-7854 are either still in the 207 shop building or E180 St yard building, this is my guess/opinion.
  13. Sorry about that mistake, I meant 7211-7215 not 7216-7220, I already know that 7216-7220 with 7899 is still testing on the 2 or 5 Lines test track.
  14. Isn't 7216-7220 at the Corona Yard, since the transfer from the Westchester Yard last year waiting for more testing on the Flushing Line
  15. Anyone like to head towards East 180 St because R188 7811-7815 is over there since I last saw it yesterday while looking for the former R142A 7216-7220 with the C car 7899 testing.
  16. The testing for the R188 on the 7 will approximately start after the completion of the servers installation at Junction Blvd. The testing will be from Main St Flushing-74 St Broadway since beyond 74 St (except from the Steinway tunnels to Times Square) the signals are not replaced by the new CBTC signals since 2008. Anyone give any thoughts to this.
  17. Are you going to see the 6 Car R188 test train because I know I will.
