SUBWAY - Random Thoughts Topic

Well, that method of payment is starting along the 4/5 in a few months...so...now, I guess? -
I have a Discord server (linked in my signature) that could fit the need. We already have users talking about where it is sometimes, haha

They seem to be assuming that the two test trains will be successful, and that the option order with a significant number of open gangway trains will be purchased. Additionally, the R262 slides mentioned incorporating features of the R211s into their design, with open gangways being a bullet point on that list.

I doubt railfans would (purposely) crack a window. At least I'd think they'd have enough respect to, y'know, not damage transit property, especially on a brand new train in service.

It is her. As @Calvin said, it's Velina Mitchell. Either that's her, or they happen to have interviewed a woman with the same name who just so happens to also work at the MTA. -

She does a lot of the service change announcements already. Here's an interview. -

I was not expecting her to voice the announcement. Totally caught me off guard, lol -

Probably the LEDs operate at a higher frequency, so unless you have a very high framerate camera, you don't get the pinwheel effect. -
Phenomenal, bar the timers along Fulton and CPW, of course Hoyt-Schermerhorn-Nostrand was quite good, along with the Broadway Junction-Euclid run. 8 Av was pretty much stellar the whole way from Columbus Circle to Canal

For those wondering about the flats, we topped out at ~49 MPH S/B

R142/R142A Upgrade Discussion Thread
Enjineer replied to East New York's topic in New York City Subway
Ah yeah, I meant to say inverters. Just used to calling them 'motors' as a catch-all term for what's going on to make the wheels turn. So would the case with the R142 vs. the R160s be that the inverters are slightly different on each car, so they have slight differences in sounds (versus the inverters on, say, the R142As/143s/188s, or the Siemens R160s, or the R179s). -
Yup, that's your best bet, unless you have someone who knows where along the line they are. I waited at 34-Penn so I could film other trains on the local tracks while also waiting (and not missing) the 32 I wanted going uptown.

The 7:45 from Euclid to Lefferts?

Here is an entrance globe that my dad was able to get for me the day of the reopening of 86th Street after its ESI rebuild. I'd love to turn it into a lamp or something, but the metal divider which internally divides the green and white sections make it difficult to know what light may fit inside that would light up both halves well.
