Anyways, 10 car R179 delivery dates? Is it too soon to know? Edited March 23, 2019 by junjun441 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2fwannabe Posted March 27, 2019 Share #7809 Posted March 27, 2019 3230-33 are here (!!) as of Wed Mar 27 2019. That should close out deliveries for March. 3010-19 reportedly have had issues addressed with the Automated Announcement System. A Road Test is slated for this week, then (Maybe?) it goes back in service. 3218-21 have undisclosed (correctable) minor defects. Testing with 3214-17 continues. If things go well, 3222-29 should be wandering around on the system next week. There is now only one more sequential 4-car delivery, presumably 3234-3237 by April 5, then (again presumably and finally) 3070-3073 by April 12 to complete that portion of the contract. From there we will all hopefully learn more about the remaining 5-car sets for the . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted March 27, 2019 Share #7810 Posted March 27, 2019 So is 3070-3073 going to East New York or 207th? I think they should go to East New York. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, we'll know in a month.

Well, they all can hang out at Pitkin Yard for now. This once was the same way for "overflow" R-160 deliveries a decade ago. Looks like all but those missing 4 will be on board in March. however. Penalty compliance, perhaps? Now we wait to see what shows up next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHacksJustKhaks Posted March 29, 2019 Share #7819 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) @whz1995 The WillyB has been underutilized for years due to speed restrictions as we have mentioned, so seeing bikers win is little surprising at this point, and the side effect of years of operational inefficiency. *Additionally, this discussion on the train and WillyB should probably be moved to the random thoughts or proposals thread. This thread is for R179 developments when it gets back on topic.

This thread is for R179 developments when it gets back on topic. This is related to the r179's. ENY has enough r179's and r160's to allow an increase on the M. The tricky part is how. Willy B has speed restrictions as a result of the deadly 1995 train crash and yes it can be fixed. However, safety is still #1 priority. Believe me the least thing anyone wants is another crash similar or worse than the 1995 crash, which btw is the last major subway crash in NYC and I clearly remember that terrible accident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
