  1. Credit to TFLoffroad - The Sounds & Sights in This Kawasaki Side-by-Side Factory Are Unlike Anything I've Ever Experienced! Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYTgu1AGYSQ&t=1568s The video link above gives a full tour of the Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Plant oil Lincoln, NE were after the 25:10 mark, you'll see more R211 bodies that have been manufactured in the production assembly. You'll see cars 4088, 4092 and a few others on air car stilts.
  2. Hhmm.... What about 90th St-Elmhurst Ave, is that the forgotten station lol.
  3. Anybody know what was the main issue that requires a rebuilt with that set exactly?
  4. Riding the or the Rockaway across Jamaica Bay during a clear sunset reflecting of the water is a sight to behold I'll tell you that.
  5. Hmm........ Well, it was bound to happen I guess.
  6. Just to point out, seems like maybe Westchester finally decided on removing the LED cirlcle/diamond lights from the side signs. Theres a handfull of R62As on the already without them.
  7. I do sympathies with you, but try not to take it too personality. She probably was having an off day or something but as the old expression goes "don't bring your personal baggage to work with you" so I see your point of view. However we can't also forget that this is a BIG city with a lot of people all shapes and colors to deal with at certain times of the day. Different attitudes and situations can come towards one person in charge of public area like a station agent, security officer or any customer service employee. Maybe she was in a prior situation that became negative for her. It probably wasn't her day and so coming in contact with too many people she probably needed some space, who knows. We all have bad days every once in a while. But at the end of the day we live and let live.
  8. 15-year-old in critical condition after striking head while subway surfing atop NYC 7 train -Credit to the New York Post: https://nypost.com/2022/06/24/teen-in-critical-condition-after-striking-head-while-subway-surfing-atop-nyc-7-train/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app That's a real shame. Goes to show you that sometimes if you play, you pay.
  9. SMH Not good. Condolences to him and his family.
  10. The B division can make some magic happen every now and then with these G.O's.
  11. The best huh....... In that case, I want the best for the hell even the sigh need I go on.
  12. Ive been harping on this thought for weeks, for some reason.
  13. I know what you mean in terms of the AC. Luckily with those trains I've never been in a hot R68/As car during the summer, however in the case with the R62As it's a different story. Alot of times I could not bare with the R62As lack of AC or even how dirty and disgusting they look on the these days. I've lived by the for majority of my life and I do say that its time for change. As of late the R62As have been a eyesore for me, but that being said I still ride'em for personal/professional purposes regardless. I do understand. But before a train model gets retired, the new model has to get all of it's testing cleared up and done right. As far as ASAP, that's up to them in trying to keep up with the schedule they have laid out to put a new train into service and retire a old train. I think maybe some of you people need to realize that CBTC will take a while before being implemented to the whole entire subway system. It's NOT overnight or something that can be done in 5 or 10 years. This type of technology component takes time and years to install and mechanically have everything working properly. NTT train models have to ensure communication with one another during passenger service on the road. We've seen the network meltdowns that have been happening throughout the Flushing and QB lines.
  14. Why are their some folks so EAGER to get "rid" of the R68/As, so soon I might add. Those trains will be gone eventually but some people need to really get a grip. SMH It's just a train.
  15. It's stalking you. Be Aware lol. It's happened to me on the R62A's. There's been scenarios were I would end up getting the same train during a week or two.
  16. Didn't see the prior post. Apologies

  18. I second this, I've actually seen a electrical spark or two coming out of those from an R46 whenever the train does a sudden breaking out of a station after accelerating. Those things are NO JOKE.
  19. Ive been looking at some pics and videos on Instagram...... This is truly disgusting. I don't give rats ass what type of train model it was. Whether it was an R46 or R160 or a lambergine. The most important aspect of all are those innocent people young & old that don't deserve this act of violence. Why? Why this? Why do these things happen. I have my personal reasons as to why Ive lost faith in the current state of society. But this is too much. My thoughts and prayers or for those affected in this hot mess. My prayers are also for the rest of the transit community. Please be aware. Take care of your self and your loved ones. 🙏
  20. It happened on the train. The individual described as black-male and is still loose.
  21. Hmm.... Think is safe to say the R179s are beginning to thrust into reliability. It's been over a year and a half since they were last pulled from service.
  22. Just curious..... anybody have a specific timetable of when exactly the elevated stations on the are suppose to receive station renewal work?
