There could be some retirements of CI’s 46’s just to have parts for the remaining 46’s when Pitkin 46’s are ready to move.
-
yep..late morning.

R211 - 4174, 4173 & 4172 at South Brooklyn
-
Both T’s are currently in service.
-
that was the other day, the usual pattern.
-
Right after the first set went OOS for the signage issue?
-
I remember being on that 2 train back then, The R211T is being ran as a test but just not a 30 day type just running as a test train in general I believe.
-
I heard same reports that the T model is not doing the 30 day test just being dedicated to the C line at this point and just see how it runs there, anyone with more knowledge can update this
-
Yes.
-
Didn’t the R211A pilot also got taken OOS the first couple of days due to a door issue?
-
A set was connected in CI yard before just to move it around 5 car R211A/ 5 car R211T only time will tell if we will see this in service.
-
It’s not on a 30 day test
-
Hard shell is going to be a tagger’s paradise.
-
Interesting decisions, decisions, decisions lol
-
C line GO this weekend starts at 945pm tonight, so the T will be on break until Monday.
-
I believe it ran all day yesterday until about 9 or 10pm, not in service today yet.
-
Only one and it’s a mixed set
-
mix of the soft shell and hard together.

4194, 4193, 4192, 4191 & 4190 at the South Brooklyn

not automatic, has to be done by the crew by hand…no time for that in a fire or smoke situation.

R268 (R68/R68A Replacement) - Information & Discussion
MJHmarc replied to Around the Horn's topic in New York City Subway
Yes i agree with you that it could work but brings up the cost. On top each station here having different configs as it is…while fleet are being changed anyways that makes more sense to adapt or try to match with vs the other way around…….as long as the MTA doesn’t want make the doors wider to the point of having no windows lol. -
4195-4199 is said to delivered to SBK this evening.

The MTA president official word about the R211T only running on a “local line“ of the ‘C” line is just by choice, saying that it’s a new model that has never ran on this system before and they feel it’s safer “for now “ to only run it on a local line such as the “C” line. https://www.youtube.com/live/xGnokEK-ypM?si=YMb6SsonH-akdza_

“ MTA officials declined to provide further information. But after publication, Gothamist obtained a second memo, also dated Jan. 19, that provided an explanation: The design of the gangway trains “makes it impossible” for train operators to safely perform a required inspection following the activation of the emergency brakes.”
