Or that there's more days till completion It should be the last day today, but since February only has 28 days I wouldn't be surprised if the testing continues for two more days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Railer Posted March 12, 2019 Share #7753 Posted March 12, 2019 Do we not know how to count? Testing started on 2/10, therefore it ended yesterday, 3/11, assuming no resets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will they then soon begin delivering more 10-car trains? Or will they wait until the 8-car deliveries are completed first? Or might they deliver them at the same time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the third question, since the MTA still have to reach a 1 car per day goal with the r179's to accelerate the delivery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Island Av Posted March 12, 2019 Share #7759 Posted March 12, 2019 It's actually inevitable that the first production five-car sets will begin arriving soon. The four-car sets are close to wrapping up with delivery (only 3070-3, 3226-37 remain for deliveries), and since 3010-3019 passed the test, they can begin delivering five-cars. Keep in mind though that there are now 14 ten car trains instead of 12 like before... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if the second 10 car r179 train is ready for delivery, but is waiting for the MTA/Bombardier to give the "green light" so that the delivery can proceed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured as much, but I was just wondering how soon is soon. Given that you said they're almost done with the 4-car sets, then I assume it shouldn't be too much longer until the 10-car sets begin to show up on property...and then it's only a matter of time until the starts to get a whole lot more interesting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! And the other half of the C fleet will most likely consist of full length trains. I have seen an increase of r46s, which is an indication that the C may be partially full length until the r211s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'll do that, if it's staying 8 cars then it'll be R32's or the R179's from ENY. They ether gonna make the 100% full length or it's staying 8 cars with them removing the 3 R46's on it. The went from 5-6 sets of 46's to 1-3 sets. Right now everything is tbd, we all know the isn't getting lengthed.

Let's see what happens, but once the r211's enter service, the MTA won't have no other choice than to have the C and G become full length. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s way too many 4-car sets, the surplus R179’s are either staying at 207th Street or going to Coney Island for crosstown CBTC in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
