Yes and No

Looks like these are going to be the 9 and 10  R211a sets that will be doing burning testing in February.

Still a little early to tell for sure. Both T-sets seem more likely to be ready than said sets mentioned before. Ironically....

The MTA really likes to mix these production car sets. 

It's really no different from the history of our veteran NTTs in terms of deliveries.

They wanna keep 4060-4069 together until more 4200s & 4300s comes in. 

Whatever.... Let's not gloss over the fact that the trucks under the prototypes are far more reliable than the faulty production sets.

So I'm guessing 4085-89 and 4195-99 still at CIY? My predictions will be 

4085-89x4075-79

4135-39x4195-99

For now at least

They are not paired up thou. Please, no more predictions until we can SEE the active consists running or actually SEEN connected. Said sets, can be paired with newbies not even accounted for yet.... Especially with the deliveries cookin' up and returning to some schedule. We've all seen the random patterns in these orders, new and old, SMEE and NTT.

New consists: 4145-49x4165-4169 enroute to Pitkin and 4080-84 coupled with 4140-44 sitting at Pitkin too.

 

It continues lol

Ahhh, developing sightings: 4165-49 testing at Broad Channel

Pitkin Yard consist: Track #15: 4059-55x4049-45 & Track #16: 4044-40x4054-4050

More within the barn:

4140-44x4080-84 (just a newb pulling another newb from sick leave....yet to see service TBD)

4145-49 (was seen lasted with 4165-69)

4075-79 (was pulled with 4105-09 for two weeks; disconnected on 01/28/24)

4135-39 (broke up with its debut partner, nothing personal; on stand-by)

What I've seen in-service so far today:

4060-4069 (The OG keeping it strong for 6 months straight now; goes to show you that the prototype models are better than the production 'quality')

4099-95x4130-34 (Another case of a newb picking up a sick leave newb; as of 01/25/24)

4105-09x4094-90 (as of 01/29/24)

4100-04x4125-29 (as of 01/15/24)

4110-14x4120-24 (as of 01/25/24)

Schoolcar consists for today:

4070-74x4115-19 (was in service since 01/08/24)

Excuse the cringe commentary lol

I think you're better off using the term "TBD/To be determined" instead of 'lone'......

New consists: 4145-49x4165-4169 enroute to Pitkin and 4080-84 coupled with 4140-44 sitting at Pitkin too.

It continues lol

4095-99, yes, it's just a lone set. It got disconnected from 4105-09 so it can most likely connect with 4090-94

4095-99 is coupled with 4130-4134 as of this morning. May the random switch-arounds BEGIN!!!!  again.....

They can deliver #4499 for all I care, keep them comin'!

Perhaps changing the propulsion would be best?

Nice try, bruh.....

I'm pretty sure the R268s will be 75-Footers. Am I right?

Nice gaslighting skills LOL

Damn.... And I was rooting for the Q44 to Fordham. Oh well, guess it wasn't much of a demand anyways.

It still is. Just checked and the vid is still there. Maybe its blocked for you.

The user unlisted the content in question.

Also 4200 has reached the Lincoln Plant. Might be here by February. Neat.

What does a flat wheel look like? Is the wheel actually flat or something

https://vulcan-production.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blog/content/2019/operations-service/trains-get-flat-tires-too/flatspot.jpg

I believe the actual term is Flat Spot. By the sound of 4085, it might be 1-2 inch spot or more. 

I've seen worst....

*sigh* anyways, 4070-74 has been moved to CIY for software maintenance or whatever......

Can someone confirm if the pilot is still running around?

Yes. it is.

BTW, the one unit is the OG 4060 set. Let that sink in lol

Cool, we'll see them when they're ready to come back.

Is 4085-4089 paired with 4090-4094 then?

Got an update on this: 4090-4094 is now couple with 4120-4124. 4080-4089 should be together but it's unknown if its true or not

Meanwhile, 4140-49 is now at Pitkin Yard as of 6 p.m. earlier.

Burn-in testing: 4134-4130x4139-4135 earlier today. To be set no. 8 in a few days.
