4542 has indeed been a GH unit for many years, along with 4533, 4540-4543. When I say allegedly, I mean it has been mentioned elsewhere, but I can't provide any proof at the time.
Those units where GA orginals. GH , FP & GA swapped around a lot of the NGs because of the maintenance issue GH at the time think is was around the time the 2015 XD40s were rolling in

Since this train is a prototype R211 will the MTA inform Kawasaki about upgrades about towards the train ? Because I like the color on the over where it’s tell the time , next time etc but the one makes the overhead on the R160-179 looks better but that’s just my take lol

Does it really matter where they get their 3rd Rail Shoes from? They're getting them regardless.
I wasn’t aware the CI put the 3rd shoe on as well …

(I really don’t know so nobody judge me but) Why are the R211s going to Coney Island yard first instead of going to Pitkin and getting the 3rd Rail Shoe attached first like the R179s ?

I don't think ridership is going to be the same pre pandemic until atleast 2023, alot of people want to keep working from home even if the pandemic is over, so ridership in all will be high but not as high as pre pandemic. You are gonna have a decent chunk of office workers returning to work in july so ridership is expected to increase by atleast 30%
Also i feel like if this order was a year earlier, I would have the Base order split between pitkin (gets 4060-4209) and CI gets (4210-4499) and have the R211T's split between Jamaica and Pitkin.
But why split the order when the R211A comes in , Pitkin could just send over the best R46s to Coney Island to help the spare factor until the option order is exercise

Jamaica just got brand new XD40 and they’re get 60 LFS ! So I guess they’re pushing out the XD40s

The R46 on the runs a long distance from 207 to Far Rockaway and they don't break down, so why are the R46 on the breakdown fast ?
Think it’s because Pitkin knows that they’ll have the R46s until they retire , whereas Jamaica knew the swap was going to happen to they just let the R46s good and focus on the R160s they have

I feel like they added all the R179s on 8th avenue again because this weekend has been rolling them all out on the and , also caught a few random R160s both Alstom and Siemens ones. Would they have sent the ones that belonged to the back or at least to either pitkin or CI yards?
Probably and also to give the R46s a break and to have looked at. I was on the Manhattan Br. Coney Island R46s sounds bad especially their breaks

I don’t get why UP sent a bunch of buses to ENY only to receive a couple from Grand Avenue.
Maybe Grand can afford to lose some too

At the rate this is going that EN and FP will end up with the 71xx buses from UP.
I understand that UP is sending Xds to phase out the OGs but what is UP getting in return ?

Weren’t they out for a couple months so for them to have problems is natural & it’s only “ the brakes”
