  1. Just how often do 12-9s happens? It seems like they occur every other day.
  2. I don't think the R211 cars were planned to have open gangways.
  3. Speaking of the R211A, when will the 90 day revenue service test begin? September has long passed.
  4. R211T is fully assembled and going to Pitkin Yard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o-2gg1zMQQ
  5. If the TA had not decided to put the R62/As into 5 car sets, then they could have just scraped one car instead of five.
  6. Are the LED side displays ever going to get put on all the R142/As?
  7. Where are the breakers on NTT cars? Like for lights, doors, dynamic brake, hvac, air compressors etc.? I think they are all on the back wall of the cab on SMEEs, but NTTs appear to have nothing there.
  8. I hope this is not another dumb question, but does NYCT use the ATO function on the lines with CBTC?
  9. I saw the strangest thing on a video a few weeks ago: Arcs not between the shoe an the third rail, but between the wheel and the rail. Of course I can not find the video now though.
  10. Why do they need 2 locomotives to move the set, how do the brakes work, and why is there a decommissioned redbird between the first 2 locomotives? (with lights on somehow)
  11. You think uncivilized foamers would try to sue NYCT after getting injured? Haha.
  12. I cant imagine what will happen when the R211 begins its 30 day service testing. A bunch of screaming foamers with their phones out filming and running up and down the train. On another topic, people are still getting pushed on the the tracks and/or hit by subway trains more than once a week! When will this stop?
  13. The should allow some subway fans to go to the official reveal.
  14. Finally! Someone said it would be here in a few a days. Also they only ordered 20 of these cars? That's only 2 ten car car trains.
  15. Does anyone have a recording of the new announcements for the SIR R211?
  16. Just how much more testing do the possibly need to do? They started testing the R211 over a year ago!
  17. Wow, things are actually going fast. Have the R211T Cars arrived yet?
  18. Alternate link for future readers because Facebook links expire.
  19. Then why not just put in a new fixed block signaling system?
  20. Yes, I think considering how long the R179 and R211 took, the should be ordering the R262 (and probably the R68/A replacement) right now before the older cars are falling apart. Also just how much testing do new subway cars do? The R211 has been testing for over 1 year now!
  21. Why does everything have to take forever with the ?
  22. I hope so, but I am not betting on it. The R142/A CBTC upgrade will need to start soon too.
