  1. Is getting some of R211’s first before any other line gets them, MTA said themselves, option order could go to Queens BLVD
  2. I do believe that some of 4car sets of R179 was modify and changed to 5car sets the ones that wasn't built yet, it makes sense.
  3. I can see ENY getting 3050-3129 for 80 cars in 4car sets. 3010-3049, 3130-3309 to Pitkin and 207th for (some cars modify to 5cars) this could push some r32s to Coney island for services.
  4. Some of the cars (3050-3309), the order was modify to include more 5car units.
  5. I am hearing rumors from the MTA the R179 was modify to include more 5car set train and less 4car trains, I guess we have also wait and see if the rumors are true.
  6. That's a good idea, Also the will have 10car set of R179's, also we have to wait and see if the rumors are true that order was change include more 5car sets and less 4 car sets.
  7. I notice the rumors I heard from the inside the TA that R179 order will be mostly 5 car units, it was modified recently.
  8. I heard the same thing too, That the order was modified to include more B cars and less A cars, its like the order was changed to 80 cars in 4car units and 220 cars in 5car sets. This may be the case if it's true that R179 order was changed to mostly 5 car sets, if R179's (5cars) shows up on and plus if the order is now mostly 5 car sets.
  9. TA is not going to put the R32's on that's off the table, they did wanted to at one timem but the Montague Street Tunnel is the problem for R32s, So as of now the R32s are staying on , but if R32's goes to CI it will be used on
  10. Since we're sharing "proposed assignments" that could or will likely happen. :R32, R46 and R179 (as the will share fleets like the currently do) :R46, R68, R68A. :R32, R46 and R179 (600 feet long train, as the will share fleets like the currently do) : R68. : R160 :R160 :R68, R68A (8 cars trains 600ft) R160, R179 R143, R160 R160 R179 R46, R160 R46, R68 R160 As the R32's from ENY will likely to back 207th and pitkin yards.
  11. will run R32, R46 and R179 and they will share fleets. will be R160 and R179 will be 600 feet 8car R68s.
  12. We can thank the governor and mta chairman for the going full length, the R179 4car units could go to the instead of the for shutdown if that's the case.
  13. Their sources that order was change to mostly 5car units for full length of the can happen to increase the fleet size overall, we got to wait and see if it's true.
  14. The is going to be 600ft long so no R179 4car sets are going on the thanks to Andrew Cuomo and Joe lhota for that decision.
  15. The Alstom and Siemens merger could affect the R211 order and open the door for R211 cars to have Siemens SITRAC IGBT AC traction motors.
  16. Most the R179 cars should have been mostly 5 car units, they really mess up the order.
  17. They could change it before the last 200 R179s get built, it's nesscary for them to change it before it built.
  18. I think the R179 could be change to mostly 5car units before the 200 sets get build.
  19. I believe that they will change the last 160 cars or so from 4car to 5car units so the can be 600ft.
  20. I can see the last 180-200 cars R179's being change into 5 car sets right before they get built, that could leave 80 cars in 4 car units.
