With the ongoing CBTC being At its finishing stages on Queens Blvd does anyone (not that I may expect but just wondering at the moment) know when ATO will be Active on it?

why are they changing the fleet on so many lines?

Because most lines like the Recent  and  lines need new train equipment (The R160s) to Run CBTC on. But due to the fact Coney Islands R46s are literally crying for help rn some R160s from Jamaica Yard get temporary transferred to Say the  lines to fill in gaps (I explained it the best I can lol if u didn’t understand apologies in advance) 

Apparently there was a R160 Siemens on the  today 8993-97,9068-72 that was spotted at 7:30am today. Wonder why🤔

2247 was back in service, but it seems to have regressed again. I'm not sure of 2248's status, but it hasn't run since 9/9. 

Wow for that long??? That’s Odd

Has there been any issue with 2247 & 2248 at Yonkers since they been out of service for a few months now?

If not mentioned (apologies) 1499 Delivered to SP Was running on the BM4 today

So today, the Jamaica Busways went into effect.........

 

This may not be to good for other streets around the area being backed up

1495, 1496 started service yesterday on the BM3 & BM4 (1495 currently active on the BM3)

Seems Recently Metro North has been running a 10car M7A. Yesterday on The Morning Rush Hour train #560 was running it and last Thursday It was spotted bypassing Melrose as a 10car set. Anyone have any clue why this is occurring more frequently?

They did? 

Yup. They were sent to MJQ and JA around late 2019 for Testing to prepare for what happening right now 

Seems like another glitch but there’s  a “1058” running on the SIM1C active right now. 

Got on 2014 on the N6 a few weeks ago and I’d have to say the AC in it is abysmal on it (I don’t know if the driver didn’t put it on all the way) but it was an absolute toaster Especially when it was 92 degrees that day

Current buses out of service for more then a month:

292

1002

1047

1054

1108

Ik this may be a stupid question but Has there been any word of 1020s status bc I keep hearing rumours it’s scrapped, getting repaired currently, or still sitting at ECH.

So apparently, I heard from someone who is a T/O that there are CBTC transceivers on the platform at Mott Av. Would that mean CBTC is going to the Rockaways next?

South Past 59 St Yes. In regarding to the Rockaways idk (it can be if the MTA were to do that if they want to)

It was probably one of the LFS Hybrids. Those are glitched.

ah ok thank you

Idk if it was mentioned but on the tracker there’s a bus numbered “8888” that was running on the M2 and I wanted to know what was it
