  1. I mean, screwed them selves over when they thought walling off the tail tracks at 2nd Av was a better idea to try and control the homeless problem.
  2. The first Orion V was auctioned off this week, and rumor has it the first XDE40 will be arriving soon. The numbering range (subject to change) will be 401-466 for the base order, which will retire the worse condition Orion's first. The suburban Orion V's won't be retired until 2025. The Orion VII's however may be replaced with the base order first instead of the option order.
  3. What's going on with the storm door at the bottom left? That design looks horrible.
  4. Exam #1100 was postponed from January because of the pandemic. You were suppose to receive an email a few months ago with your list number. They want to do the exam this summer, but a definite date has not been set yet, however with the state of emergency expiring last week, I have a feeling it will be real soon.
  5. Did the other 3 cars come already? I see a work train running around on SBK.
  6. But most line stations aren't built on curves, so the field of view is still able to be seen clearly. But he is right, the should have gotten a lot of upgrades, platform doors, complete CBTC and OPTO, etc etc.
  7. Most likely, the engine ran to hot cause of the heat and the fire system thought there was a fire, hence the system going off.
  8. 8719 had an engine fire and its back in service already? That dont seem right.
  9. It seems like is keeping the R211's behind the fence near Costco for the time being, theres no notice posted about SBK being active yet. They are most likely waiting for the other 3 cars to arrive to move them all at once.
  10. I'm working on a fantasy Jamiaca Line rebuild proposal and wanted some input: I have two ideas for the line East of Bway Junction: 1. Demolish connection between Crescent St & Cypress Hills, build new elevated structure towards Woodhaven Blvd with new stops at 78 St, 88 St, & Atlantic Av, then turn towards the south along the ROW of the Rockaway Beach Branch to Rockaway Park, making all stops with an additional stop at Ozone Park. On the Fulton St Line, after Bway Jct, a portal is constructed and a new 3 track elevated line is created to the stub end of Cypress Hills, with stops at new stations of Van Siclen Av & Norwood Ave. This new connection would be served by a rerouted , which would run between 96th St & Jamiaca Center via 6th Av & Fulton St. 2nd Option: Demolish the s-curve as well as Cypress Hills & 75th St, with a rebuilt structure slightly turning towards 85th St, which would significantly increase speeds. A new station would be constructed at 76th St. Thoughts?
  11. How do you do it? Do they give you short breaks in between long distance stops?
  12. Right? I'm starting to get annoyed with these premieres. They're subway cars, not the movie debut of Black Widow...
  13. Its confirmed fellow railfanners, the first two R211's were delivered this morning.
  14. I will never understand why any driver is willing to do the #319. Shit's nearly 3 hours one way making numerous stops along the way. A coach bus going directly to A/C is a different story.
  15. 90% of bikes are a problem right now, e-bike or not. The complete disregard for rules of the road is a serious problem, there's a tiktok guy who lives in NYC and records him self screaming and cursing at old people, tourists, buses, other bikes for no reason, even when the opposing party isn't at fault. That's the mentality in NYC right now.
  16. I was wondering where this thread went! Thought it got deleted. Twitter is hilarious right now regarding bike lanes being built. While both sides have good reasons, I do have to side with the drivers. Bikes not sharing the road is becoming a serious problem in the city, and there seems to be no enforcement.
  17. But doesn't the weekend extension of the Rockaway Park Shuttle run OPTO?
  18. Thank you for the correction, I was thinking of the X22.
  19. It dosen't matter. The also ran OPTO when it went to Chambers St.
  20. I was going to take the SIM22 this week to Outerbridge but looking on google maps, it shows that's permanently closed, so where is the SIM22 going?
  21. Wrong, the weekend is a reduced length interborough route.
  22. @Via Garibaldi 8 is the Outer Bridge Park/Ride permanently closed?
