That's a good question. But since it was answered already then I won't say anything. 12 hours ago, RailRunRob said: Anyone know if these cars have an integrated IP network for like Train Motion Commands?

Probably, I'm just hoping for them to enter service on the train since I rely on it to go to school everyday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard they were doing this to avoid the fiascoes the has where the line has to essentially not run whenever something goes wrong with CBTC. I still want to know who' dumb idea it was to remove most of the signals along the , did this person not think of a failsafe when CBTC fails on one of the most used lines in the system? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R42N Posted November 11, 2017 Share #4240 Posted November 11, 2017 Ok, we have our first in service date! Should things go to plan, the R179's will start their 30 day passenger test this upcoming Saturday, the 18th of November, on the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I sound skeptical, but the way this order has gone, I feel like they'd wait at least a little longer testing until they put it in service. Unless, of course, it's passed the 30-day burn in testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGA Link N Train Posted November 11, 2017 Share #4242 Posted November 11, 2017 well, I just hope that the R179's enter service on the and lines. And since 300 R179's are expected, then 50 R42's gone 222 Revenue R32's are still in and about 110-112 R32's will remain so the (speculated) fleet assignments would be 40 cars (4 trains) Replaces 40 R32 cars 160 cars (20 trains) All R32's replaced on that route 120 cars (15 trains): replaces all R42's and some R32's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take no offense, and you have every right to be skeptical. The current schedule is for a Saturday commencement of the 30-day test. That's obviously subject to change, but that's that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
