R211Ss spotted in St George

Pretty good chances I’d say, they’re about 1 in 3 of the A fleet needed. Personally when I went to Rockaway Blvd, first time I saw 2 R211s head towards the Rockaways before my train came (an R46) and saw 2 more getting uptown before I got off at Cortlandt. Second time, this weekend with work being done on Fulton express the first train was an R211.

Let’s take a step back here guys, they never said it’d stay on the C, it’s just being tested there for now. We still don’t know much of anything regarding it’s future car assignments.

Praying I’ll be alive to see the full project be finished right now

We do actually need it in some stations, it's just that the infrastructure won't allow it.

We’re not sure about anything besides what it’s replacing yet, but the reasonable answer would be no since as far as we can see, the MTA wants everything to be as standardized as possible. Examples: R143, R160, R179, R211 are all 60 feet and can run on the Myrtle, Jamaica, and Canarsie lines since they’re short enough to not clip other trains, and they can have cars removed from their sets to put them into passenger service on the mentioned lines. We won’t see the MTA experiment for a while…

I see shattered glass in the door window so I think it’s there because it was vandalized, but doesn’t the A-Division have their own yards for that?

would you look at that. https://twitter.com/julestrainman/status/1745151078872580116 MTA starting the year strong eh? It hasn’t even been a month…

Well, with the recent 7th Avenue derailment I’ve seen some talking about replacing the IRT signals with CBTC. Opinions?

So, just bring back the and ?

Did early EMUs and steam trains not pass eachother often on the LIRR? It’s pretty difficult trying to find any pictures of it happening

Does the usually display "CTRL PARK W LCL" because I just noticed it on an R46 and I feel like it wasn't always there

How?

I'm on 4139 right now and not only is it smooth, but she's quiet too

Funny part is that’s the reason the MTA changed the ‘s north terminal in the first place

Nostrand Avenue as backrooms level 1940 when

the rain might have made her slide and that wheel could have been the only one to not regain traction

And now we wait for people to disregard your last sentence and start going “OH MY GOD GUYS GATE CARS ARE COMING BACK TO ENY!!!!!!!!!!!!” Lmao

I wanted to catch the R211 later so does anyone have the NYCT tracking server?

Doesn’t the rollsign change automatically when the code is put in?

Part of making the R211s adhere to FRA regulations must have been throwing a fan onto the bogey lol

Now we wait for Clifton to learn how to maintain them, then they’ll be in service, right? Or do they have to go through the 30 day testing like the R211As did

Why are you going on about catenary then. If you’ve been using the SIR then you should know what it uses for power 💀 and besides, Kawasaki slapped catenary equipment onto an R62 for testing, I’m sure they could come up with something for the R211s if they were actually using it

What the hell bro doesn’t know what he’s talking about the SIR runs on third rail just like the rest of the system and I’m pretty sure I can still hear propulsion coming from the R44 B cars, along with the fact that it’s mostly flat, I’m sure the R160s and/or R179s could easily handle their B cars turned into trailers I bet you haven’t even been to SI before 💀

Is the R211S going to test on the SIR before they send any more?
