Looking at the line on Subway time, I saw a 30 minute gap in SB service this afternoon but as I rode the NB I saw two R179s in the gap which means the R179s aren’t on SubwayTime. Anyone notice this? Old news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share #5929 Posted May 29, 2018 New Delivery Schedule: 316 cars on property by the end of January 2019. Source: DCE 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: DCE This is brilliant news! However, by the time fall rolls around, all four-car sets would've probably been delivered, and 3010-3019 would most likely enter revenue service at that point. With that being said, here is a video I took a few days ago of the R179s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted May 29, 2018 Share #5931 Posted May 29, 2018 3013 was seen on a flatbed truck on I-80 at the PA/NJ border, so that should be here soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this photo, I can only imply that 3013 was sent to Bombardier for necessary repairs, just like 3015-3019. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, Andy Byford came to my school and told my friends and I that he's heading to Plattsburgh tomorrow to see how things are going with Bombardier and the R179's.

I'll admit that it does have a 2/10 on greatschools.com. but from my personal experience so far, I actually like it. My main issues with it is that the school has many underutilized classrooms (which I heard one of them is being converted into a weight room), the school also provides internship opportunities and other things but people just don't take the advantage of it even though they have great potential. 19 minutes ago, mine248 said: Yeah, it is.

It's all the way by Euclid Av on the , and I'm all the way in Harlem, three stops short of 168 St (the northern terminal). If I went to school there, it would take me 50 minutes to get there.

trainfan22 Posted June 5, 2018 Share #5949 Posted June 5, 2018 I think 3050 - 3057 went though the Canarsie Wash as it looked fairly clean and they was hooked up together after the being taken apart. One of the sets in 3050 - 3057 was hooked up to another 179 set running in service a couple days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not getting up at dawn to be somewhere (school) that I hated. So I settled for the better of my zoned options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
