If that indeed happens, I'd assume 3238-47 would be on the test track in the near future. I would assume 3238-3242 would hit the test track sometime this week before 3243-3247 arrives. If next week 3248-3252 is spotted coming in, it finally means Bombardier is accelerating the delivery of cars and is starting to meet the 1 car per day production rate.

No clue where it could be, but since its now part of the fleet, it can show up at anytime, even overnight when no one is out. Another 5-car set is already here, with another incoming, so soon there will be 2 on the , it will be more common to find a 10-car set soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all just speculation. Due to CBTC in the first 5 years of the FF plan, the is bound to get NTTs. The and will not have CBTC within the first 5 years, so the theory has been that there will be a whole switcheroo and the / will get R68s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/W will have CBTC in next 10 years, yes you're right it is just speculation. But I Doubt N/W will get R68s, R68s will mostly be on Concourse Yard. What about the Q Line, if G Train get NTTs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re going to stay at 207th. More likely that ENY is excused from providing a break-in crew,, while the personnel are all currently based at 207 & Pitkin. Once they get their miles and are accepted it won't really matter where they run. My money is on East New York if only BECAUSE the trouble was taken to import 3146-49 specifically for this purpose. It exudes seriousness... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemorie Posted April 26, 2019 Share #8018 Posted April 26, 2019 Evening ladies and gentlemen lol. Forgive me for being late in the game (I haven't been here in about two weeks now I think), but I've recently heard from a friend of mine that all four-car R179s have successfully been delivered? If that's true, then that's wonderful news. Now we just need to get the five-car sets into the table and the entire R179 order is complete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really up to speed on the R179 program so I don't know for sure, but it's likely they needed to do some sort of modification (most likely software) that was serious enough to warrant redoing the burn-in test. Remember, the original R179 trains (3010-3019, 3050-3057) had/have many more issues than the production cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G will receive NTT's, not necessarily because of CBTC, but due to the surplus of 8 car trains. Once the C becomes full length, the G will be the only line outside ENY that can accommodate 8 car trains. CTBC will just determine whether the G gets the r160's or r179's. If the MTA decides to extend the G during the weekends to Forest Hills, then the G will most likely get the r160's (r179's are not compatible with QBL CTBC) . If the weekend G extension doesn't happen, then the G will most likely get the r179's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should expect major fleet changes in the B division around 2021-2022. Any fleet changes this year are related to the r179's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
