LTA1992

Considering that utility relocation and tunneling took up most of the time, everything else should be a breeze.

At the speed of which things are currently being done, yes. Yes I do.

That makes no sense because then when it opened, those 179s would have to leave anyway.

The R179s go mostly to the . The gets some to kill the last R42s. The 5-Car R179s go to the for SAS.

Saw them just north of Kings Highway Station on Sea Beach as I was passing by on the B82 yesterday.

I knew B division equipment are tested on Sea Beach, but never have I heard of IRT equipment being tested on Sea Beach.

The R188s are on the move again. And I finally got to see them in person, not gonna lie, got hype like i am for the PS4. The first set, 7811-7815 I saw heading northbound on the Sea Beach Express while I was stopped at 18th Avenue. As we were pulling into Bay Parkway, 7816-7821 were also heading northbound on the Express track. I'm sorry but new trains are like getting a new video game so my reaction was kind of funny now that I'm thinking back because at 18th Avenue, as I was taking a seat, in the corner of my eye I saw 7811. Midway between sitting and standing, I froze, looked out the window, and my jaw dropped. Get to Bay parkway, my jaw dropped again and I said (aloud mind you) "The second Half?!" This was around 4pm. I'm gonna take a random guess and say they are heading to Corona.

Reading what I wrote again, In a way......I just said that.

All 143s came with CBTC and there were 64 160s for the that got CBTC a couple years back. These next 160s may be for service enhancements. When it comes to SMS, all cars of each type get it at some point so I don't think it's based by yard.

SMS doesn't mean cars aren't getting taken care of. An SMS would be like going to the doctor. Will happen a few times in it's life.

Wait, so every other 160 after those 64 on te are getting CBTC? I'm guessing just in case the needs them.

Oh trust me, it is. Compared to GTA V, the R188 is barely a blip on my radar anymore.

This must mean a lot to you for you to keep going.

I wouldn't even call that a point. I too never said it was definite.

Did you really just take time out of your day to quote and comment on something from OCTOBER 2012 that has obviously changed since then? SMH

Elevated tracks are exposed to the elements so they wear faster than those in the subway.

According to a friend of mine that I was with that same day, the TSS that goes on all the fan trips said it'd run.

So, during the TOMC on the 11th, a little bird told me that it will be running again as a full train on July 16th.

Nah, they're missing the black paint on the upper half of the doors. THAT's how an RTS should look.

I've noticed that around 8am almost everyday, while watching PIX11 news, I'll see an XD40 going eastbound on 42nd street. Why is that?

The 179 is supposed to have MITRAC propulsion, be wired for CCTV cameras (Cameras can be installed at a later time), a slightly different front.

Well, I'm not sure if it's cleared up by now, but due to a 12-9 at the Uptown Platform of the Columbus Circle station, and trains are running express from Times Square to 96th Street. The 12-9 happened at around 12:45am.

The planned month is May. Been known for quite some time. But the entire base order should be on property. I believe it was one converted train of R142As, One C car for that same train, and a 2 11-Car trains of pure R188s.

The base order didn't even start revenue yet. Wow.

The best scheme yet IMO. And the NGs now look more pleasing to my eyes.
