1261 to WF? (Someone confirm this, I saw it in the lot).

Wf has been using kb/GH buses for a while now since they are currently giving maintenance to their current assignment  buses 

So Does anyone have Any clue Of that specific 2nd R211A #4256 that was in Japan at right now? Or is it unknown at the moment?

Apparently the  finds removing seats a Benefit for increased Capacity in trains which is a Plus But needs to understand that this is NEW YORK CITY where Trains are always and will keep having packed trains no matter What line and circumstances are. The Lack of seats of the R211 is Just plain ridiculous and I can See a lot of Riders complaining about That when more come and enter service in the coming months to years especially on the  and  lines

*Not my photos* Original fb post and photographer here. Seems like railfans were out in full force yesterday. Anyone knows when the next set will be delivered? It's been years since I went out and photographed trains. Bought a mirrorless cam a few months back and it's pretty much collecting dust..

Original fb post and photographer here.

 

And what's up with the small ass windows??

Apparently it’s because of the “Wider Doors” to add more space in the train

They somehow traveled cross country on multiple freight trains all the way to New Jersey without anyone spotting them?

I find that highly unlikely... That would be quite the feat to pull off.

Well it’s  probably that people thought it was coming in Late July or October and fake news of Words of it moving have been said multiple times to the point people gave up🤣

You’re extremely late on 5477. Bus returned months ago. As for 5480, I wasn’t aware of it being involved in a fire.

They’ve been in service since summer of 2020 but it’s kinda sad they haven’t fixed the missing double 77 (on 5477) on the right side of the bus

9664 Currently active on the M100 Rn (first day in service for that specific bus)

95 street/86 Street R train have CBTC antennas in the stations with no explanation.

Most of the BMT/IND system either has Transponders/antennas on the Tracks and wall to get ready for the NTT to start CBTC testing to get things done more quickly

Yes. The trade is 9833-9922 [Alstom] at Coney Island Yard with 8913-7, 9008-12, 9023-9102 [Siemens] being at Jamaica Yard. 

I believe the reason is to keep Siemens 160 sets only at 1 yard and not have them in multiple Yards?

Is is true that CIY yard currently has no more Siemens Sets as they all got transferred to Jamaica YD for some Alstom Sets back?

Cuomo refurbished 8838-8842 was coupled with Siemens 8963-8967 earlier

 

It wouldn’t be surprising that Jamaica is starting to mix sets Now 😂

Yea Or R160B Siemens To 

They are permanently staying at Jamaica Yard until somewhat happens to swap sets in the future  rn it’s not it 

So if so are all the Siemens sets leaving CIY or will there be leftovers?

So Speaking of artic it look like the Q70 is getting prepared for it since this is the 7th day in a row a artic is running on it

5582-86 to Coney Island yard

The R160/R46 swap begins

Quite Early but I guess it’s an end of an era for 160’s at CI yard

so how do you add the signs to the R142/a?

8505-8507 if not mentioned already, Spotted on the GWB to Zerega

Currently Brooklyn is Training operators for the B38 but when the final days come in (sep 3) more Artics will head there which will most likely be KB XD60
