trainfan22 Posted March 29, 2017 Share #3577 Posted March 29, 2017 Not surprised the will be 100% 179s, didn't make sense for the to have to both. Now they can only stock parts for the 179 at 207th rather than both the 160s and 179s. Now as a railfan I wished the would have both but what railfans want isn't always the best idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted March 29, 2017 Share #3578 Posted March 29, 2017 Ok, and again, I was asking ENY...Stop with the damn attitude please, it really getting old and it is not even called for. According to the latest documents, the testing dates around summer. No need for ENY or Fan Railer to point that out. If there's any other additional information that is revealed, then we will share it. As of right now, no other data is found at the moment. So relax, be patient, and stop being rude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being rude, I just asked a question directed towards ENY. But I will comply with what you said and calm down. Anyways, so where will the R32's from the go when all the R179's come? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some might go to the for a few 10car sets....Some might go to the for the shutdown....Im not that sure but my other experience forum members will correct me.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll have to wait and see. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share #3584 Posted March 29, 2017 He was just asking him since he didn't say it, sheesh... Any ideas on when they will start their simulated stop testing? As of right now Bombardier keeps slipping the timeline, so this update is valid as of 5 minutes ago. Whenever the train reaches a full 500 miles of testing without any failures the MTA will then move forward with the simulated testing. Unfortunately todays report states that there are still issues preventing the train from moving forward when it comes to testing. I stated that because Fan Railer has answered this question hundreds of times. Whether on this forum, Facebook, YouTube, etc Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk After 8 years of being here, 7 of which on staff I've learned that I can answer a question 600 times. That doesn't mean that everyone saw the answer posted. You have to take into account that so many posts are made here on a daily basis that it is very easy to overlook something. I think some might go to the for a few 10car sets....Some might go to the for the shutdown....Im not that sure but my other experience forum members will correct me.... No, the ONLY 179's for the will be the initial 10-car sets. Then they will get R211's. See the R211 thread for some minor details and preliminary assignments. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate, there is a snowball's chance in hell that the bulk of the order will be here before the Canarsie shutdown ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, all 10 cars of the first pilot set were out today. The issue has to be minor enough not to sideline the train as a whole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted March 30, 2017 Share #3589 Posted March 30, 2017 Where do the R179's test exactly? Do they go back and forth between the end of the test track (towards Far Rockaway) and Broad Channel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted March 30, 2017 Share #3591 Posted March 30, 2017 They do clearance testing literally everywhere they can possibly run. The 179s were even spotted on the Franklin Ave shuttle. With that said, the majority of systems testing occurs on the Rockaways line as there is a long stretch of track that will not affect normal service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 30, 2017 Share #3592 Posted March 30, 2017 They used to test new trains on the Sea Beach express track in addition to the Rockaways, Sea Beach isn't available this time around so all testing outside of clearance testing has to be done on the Rockaway test track, I was hoping they would use the West End middle track but oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted March 30, 2017 Share #3593 Posted March 30, 2017 The center track on the West End line is used way too often for reroutes to be set aside for non-revenue testing, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
