Theres about 2 more sets of R211A’s here as the plan is to have 5 sets ready when the pilot passes. Thanks for bringing us back to the Topic
-
But in theory that mix could run in passenger service.
-
That was my point and i can definitely see some yard who gets them will mixed them if they have both A’s and T’s which kind of gives you the best of both on one train set.
-
let Jamaica get a hold of them and it will definitely happen.
-
Oh sorry, i was talking about the fact that there will be 2 10 car R211T’s that can be split into 4 sets (5 cars each) if you mix them with R211A’s. If option 2 is the T type they could really mix a lot of the A’s with T’s instead of just all 10 cars being one type.
-
Mixed 5/5 meaning 5 car R211A and 5 car T’s for one 10 car train
-
Did anyone see the video on IG of an R211SIR connected to the R211T(softshell) moving around in CI. I can see later R211T’s split into mixed 5/5 with R211A’s making that 2 train set into 4.

The MTA has been replacing fluorescent tubes in cars with LED replacements as the burn out.
-
T’s are not for sure as the MTA says they cost more than the A’s.
-
It should have really been dual orders split between Alstom and Kawasaki and not all given to one.
-
I would agree..Very likely to see non passenger runs for a while before service again. Just dream forward the base order will be here by the end of summer at the rate they are building them.
-
ENY has sent at least 3 sets of R179’s to Pitkin/207 already. While CI uses more R68/68A’s from the B on weekends for the N/Q. Of course the MTA does not care about rollsigns just rolling stock that can run.
-
Yep!
-
Reset the clock!
-
According to DJ Hammers Trains…The r211 pilot has passed it’s 30 day test…is this true?
-
Oh really,WoW…. so it will be some time if the T’s are even a go or no. I have a feeling that Jamaica will only want R211T’s if just a’s they will keep their 160’s.
-
Also remember the Shop in SI was rebuilt to handle new NTT via R211S
-
The first order of R211A’s are for the A/C lines and the R211S for SIRT this is all part of one order. Option 1 will depended on the outcome of R211T test.
-
Seems an R211T got tagged in CI, pics on FB subway groups.
-
Some more sets just been transferred.
-
No one from the MTA mention about R46’s running on the N Q W either.
-
6366-70 could be saved for the Times Square

Just saw an R46 R going down broadway right now
