  1. 5894-5897 from Pitkin to Coney Island
  2. Word on the street is , that the R211S are ready to go just v waiting for the MTA President to head over to the island
  3. I was thinking about that too. Yukon has 135 express buses Charleston has 150 and Castleston has like 70. I think most of Meredith routes would go to The Castle since they had the less amount of buses
  4. Saw the SIM32 operated by a Castlston buses I think it was 2632 can’t remember the exact number but it was a 2600 series with Castleston decals
  5. Saw on YouTube they had 4060-4069 to Rockaway Park during rush hours
  6. So it’s for safety reason’s why there T’s aren’t fully express if you really think about it. Open gateway between 59-125th a lot of things can happened and people are stuck if a dangerous situation were to happen
  7. I know that the MTA main focus is making all the IND lines fully CBTC. But what about Jamaica Line ? I know that the line is a BMT line but aren't 100% NTT ? So shouldn't that line be worthy of discussion ?
  8. Can someone explain the situation with JFK and Far Rockaway depot. Are they separated or the same. Or just JFK depot holds the local and Select Bus, buses and Far Rockaway depot hold the express bus ?
  9. Isn't the based out of Pitkin , so shouldn't all of Pitkin crews be qualified to R179s no matter which line is it on ?
  10. How do you guys calculate headway for trains service? And an example could be use like how many trains per hour , spares , etc lol im kinda new here compared to all of you guys
  11. Thanks guys , when I saw Caith posted it I thought is was the XE60 numbers thanks
  12. How many R211s are needed in service to close the gap from the R32s early retirement ?
  13. Just saw 5 brand new R211 waiting to cross the Goethals Bridge. There fleets numbers are unknown , they're still wrapped
  14. Wasn't the goals was to give R211 to the and and they rotate between R179s and R211 since they both would be able to maintain in different barns ? And didn't they equip the R179s 10 Cars with CBTC ?
  15. Do you know the fleet number car assignment for each yard that had the R62As ?
  16. This is true and you also have to factor in the qualified crews to operate the the train. It can be the 2nd out of 207th but if a crew isn’t qualified it can be the 3rd or 4th train out
