"Currently, NYPD is on lookout for farebeaters".

Not me. Let's be honest, I beat the fare a couple times cuz my Metrocard wouldn't work. I ducked under. But I used OMNY and started paying that way cuz it was cheaper and easier. Only took of a buck from my account. I'll pay with the card cuz it's nostalgia, but OMNY works, too. Just insert your phone onto the screen. On or off.

Remember, 4185-89 was delivered.

The lowest set we have reming to get delivered is 105/4200

To add, this counts as 74 subway cars caught on my trip because of 1621 and 6381. So I think I did pretty good

And the set to 6381-85 was 6656-60. Now I know.

Caught 46s and a 68A near Stillwell in June, so I can add all these guys with them.

I also saw the platform barriers at Clark St , I think they're pretty good seeing them in person.

The only rolling stocks that I missed on my trip were the R44s, R68/As, R188s, and R211A/T/Ss.

Rode R46 6173, R62A 1958, R142s 6385, 6829, 7019, 7098, and R160s 8317, 8669. All the rides were fun and smooth. My fav rolling stock gotta be tied between the 142s and 160s.

(North) 4195-4199 + 4194-4190 (South) in service as of this morning. Spotted at Canal Street going Northbound at around 11:20AM.

Edit: Something is up with cell service underground, this took about 10 minutes to post. The above post somehow made it first. 

 

Nice. I wasn't expecting this. That would be the 13th train in service (that's including the 4080s). But I've seen nothing with 4140-44 and 4160-64 tbh. I'm worrying that set might be a false report.

Can someone post photos to make sure 4140 and 4160 being in service isn't false?

i would like to suggest to the mta to start building the new r268 subway cars by 2025-26 that way we have better service 

Not happening. We still got the rest of the R211s and the R262s. We also got 46s, SIR 44s, and 62/As to replace. We can't just jump to replace the 68/As. They didn't even turn 40 yet. I suggest build them in 2035-36, or about 6 months after SAS Phase 2 is complete the earliest

UPDATE ON THE R211S AS OF 2/28/24

R211s in service

R211A: 90 cars, or 9 10-car trains (technically 100 if it weren't for all those issues), all trains currently run on the  line

4060-69, pilot, Soon about to reach 1 year of service

4070-74, 4115-19

4075-79, 4105-09

(not sure) 4090-94, 4135-39

4095-99, 4130-34

4110-14, 4120-24

4100-04, 4125-29

4140-44, 4160-64

4145-49, 4165-69

R211T: 20 cars, or 2 10-car trains, all trains currently run on the line

4040-44, 4050-54

4045-49, 4055-59

Total amount of R211s in service: 120 technically, 110 currently

All are at pitkin

Other consists not in service yet and TBD sets

R211A:

4080-84, NIS until further notice

4085-89, NIS until further notice

4150-59, BIT'd a few days ago

4190-99, BIT'd about a week ago

4170-74, tested at BC a few days ago

4175-79, Will most likely connect with 4170-74

4180-84, Literally got delivered yesterday

R211S:

100-104, should see service in a week or 2

Total amount of NIS R211s: 35 technically, 45 currently (not counting the R211S), 40 technically, 50 currently (counting the R211S)

Notes: 4085-89 is at Pitkin as of now. We've been waiting for long enough. Same with 4080-84. I have no idea what sets besides 4180-84 are at CIY. They all moved out.

There are a total of 120 cars in service (4040-4149, 4160-69) technically, but 4080-84 & 4085-89 haven't seen service since October. So right now, there are only 110 cars, ranging from 4040-4079, 4090-4149, and 4160-4169.
