Which set is with who? 

They're both in separate lanes at the yard.

If I'm not mistaken, today, the 10th marks 1-year to when the R211s debuted in passenger service. Also, on the outside is daylight savings. 

Ooooooh, and the pilot is finally separated after a year!

Damn, I never thought that counting would be this complicated for buffs/foamers LOL

4135-39 are coupled with 4140-44. I told you there'd be some switch ups.

4185-89 were testing at Broad Channel.

4080-89, 4105-09, 4160-64 & 4180-84 on stand-by.

4150-59 continue burn-ins, expected to start by next week. We'll see.....

All else are active on the rails.

4170-79 in-service heading to Lefferts as I type this.

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?

Believe what you want, that set has been in service since the 27th from 3 pm.

The newest set 4190-99 entered service.

Anyways.....

4180-84 from CIY to Pitkin.

All 4170s completing first burn-in test today.

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 

Don't try to think that the MTA should have to rush these things.....

4090-94 and 4135-39 are coupled together in service. That's what I meant saying they "swapped" the other day.....

4140-44 + 4160-64 finally enters service as of 6:30am.

At the same time, 4183-84 touchdown on property.

R142 set #6776-6780 has been retrofitted with LED side destination signs. Sitting at E 180th Street.

4170-74 testing at Broad Channel.

What is even more infuriating is that if God forbid something bad happens to these stupid teens, their parents will have the audacity to sue the MTA when in reality it's the parents fault for being irresponsible.

What are these parents doing, while their teens are subway surfing?

I just wish all r211's have the same components that prevent subway surfing.

It's really wouldn't see them from climbing the back of the train......

The Judge: "So you're case is that you want to MTA to remove the gangway components so you can kill yourself? Go back to school, kid. Case closed."

I wish these stupid teenagers had that type of audacity lol.

Well, sorry. I don't live here y'know. I only get info from these forums.

Your best bet would be to let others (those who live in the city; yours truly) give their confirmation before making assumptions or speculations. Obviously, changes (with consists) can happen at anytime.

Didn't know that, thanks.

No problem. There'll be more switching around sets this week.

Also 4175-79 was at Broad Channel today and 4150-59 was burning-in last night.

4105-09 is connected with 4135-39 as of now. 4075-79's mate would be 4090-94

Negative, they swapped as of yesterday. 4075-79 is indeed with 4105-09 at the moment.

*sigh* your TBDs are all spotted at Pitkin on stand-by as follows:

4080-89, 4150-59, 4170-4179

BIT/pre-service evaluating:

4140-44, 4160-64, 4190-99

Never @ me again, please....

4190-4199 is burn in testing right now.

Yeah, for four days straight now. Along with 4140-44 + 4160-64
