  1. https://nypost.com/2019/02/22/mta-to-begin-pilot-for-metrocard-replacement-next-week/amp/ So, the MetroCard's replacement will be called OMNY. What do you guys think?
  2. And still are on the Holiday Nostalgia Train. You can freely move between cars and nobody will say anything about you doing so.
  3. Here's a photo of the inside: Hope that helps clarify what I was saying
  4. A Manhattan-bound R143 L Train at Broadway Junction
  5. An R32 C Train at Canal St waiting to head north

    R46 C Train

    An R46 C Train at Canal St
  7. A Canarsie-bound R143 Train approaching Broadway Junction
  8. A 207 St-bound R32 A train at Canal St
  9. Well, that method of payment is starting along the 4/5 in a few months...so...now, I guess?
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Now those are some nice automated announcements.
  14. 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.
  15. She does a lot of the service change announcements already. Here's an interview.
  16. I was not expecting her to voice the announcement. Totally caught me off guard, lol
  17. Probably the LEDs operate at a higher frequency, so unless you have a very high framerate camera, you don't get the pinwheel effect.
  18. 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
  19. For those wondering about the flats, we topped out at ~49 MPH S/B
  20. The R179 A train at 59 St-Columbus Circle, missing its front route circle
  21. An R32 C train at Penn Station on the express track
  22. An R179 C train at 34 St-Penn Station on the express track
  23. The other end of the same train, also at Far Rockaway
  24. 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).
