AJ of JGD Posted December 25, 2019 Share #5026 Posted December 25, 2019 Just now, AJ of JGD said: Yes, they have. There’s been a certain picture that was very recent floating around of an R211 at the Kawasaki factory. I’m pretty sure it’s a leaked one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the previous two B div NTT (160 and 179) took a year to complete testing before entering service I wouldn't hold my breath on the 211 pilot train entering passenger service in 2020. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R211s should be enter the service in 2021 and Replace these r46s and R32s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemorie Posted December 26, 2019 Share #5030 Posted December 26, 2019 @m2fwannabe, I heard two sets of R42s were in service earlier on the in the AM peak. So the 16 cars are still there at ENY in general. It's not 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add on to this, the pilot set isn't due until July 2020 and the first production cars won't be due until December 2021, so it will be a while until any large number of R211s are in regular service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted December 27, 2019 Share #5038 Posted December 27, 2019 Rumor has it that the last R42s have been pulled from passenger service tonight roughly an hour or so ago and are pending transfer to somewhere (that I don't know off). I don't have access to MTA fleet information so I'll leave up to those who do to confirm it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set that was at the back of Jamaica Center is/was on the move. I saw it at 121st street on the Manhattan/Brooklyn bound side about an hour ago while I was on a R143 heading to Jamaica Center. It was out of service in case anyone asks. Edited December 27, 2019 by NewFlyer 230 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted December 27, 2019 Share #5049 Posted December 27, 2019 Gm to everyone. But I'm not sure why everyone keeps saying the R42s are retired and what not there actually not and the MTA dont have no plans for retiring them just yet plus if I'm correct theres not enough equipment to retire them just yet and plus the R211s aren't here yet either so that wouldn't make sense to do so. Plus those 2 sets that went to Coney and 207th they are there for storage some said there there to become a garbage train but obviously it's there for storage. The R42 is still in passenger service and I aspect one to be in service for the Am and pm rush hour today for the and lines I just hate when people believe false rumors like literally everyone on FB is saying they retired which they have not. And even if it did you would think that everyone had pics of them but now everyone wanna go to the and if that's the case ya should of caught it while ya could and not complain. But like I said those R42s ain't retired yet they still got alittle longer life to live so please stop with the false rumors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the usual suspects who spread the rumors all over though, because that’s how everyone is now scratching their heads as they wonder around about who’s side to root for and all. Tbh, remember how I kept on saying I will wake up early in the morning and get to Jamaica Center before 7:15 a.m. in time for the skip-stop service to start to see if an R42 will show up either in service or as a put-in? The truth is that...I never really once stuck by word. I just simply don’t feel like waking up so early just to catch a train...especially when I’m not getting paid to do so anyway... I partially believe in @m2fwannabe though...just not to the full extent...anyway, I might go out on the later on for real this time. I mean dunno. Like you guys said, I’ll just continue to take my time till the R211s. Edited December 27, 2019 by Jemorie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
