Most likely by the time Pitkin finishes receiving their allotment. 29 minutes ago, Chris89292 said: The MTA will focus on high capacity subway lines first, before turning forward to the shuttle, who knows if the R211’s will end up on the They will end up on the . People forget that the Rockaway shuttle is part of the line fleet. Meaning that whatever the uses, the Rock Shuttle uses as well. They just barely put r179s on the Rock Shuttle since they make up only a portion of the fleet, and are mainly kept on the for it to have as many techs running there as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The E/F trains have the highest ridership and QBL has CBTC. The r211's is already equipped with CBTC and can accommodate more riders than the r160's. It makes much more sense for Jamaica to get the second option order. If the MTA is really smart, then they should stop worrying about costs, think about the future and make the whole 2nd option order open gangway. At least the NQW riders can get some of "their precious" r160's back if Jamaica gets the 2nd option order. Also, let's not forget that the first option order will most likely be split between 207 and Concourse due to CBTC.

Yep, and another 10 cars should be on the way soon so that 5 sets can run at the same time on start (non test) day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be coming over on a very low (meaning silently and quietly out of viewing public) while the higher set is being set up during the daytime 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is to know that the photography is set outside of the property, and that it is not recorded inside the property. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech & Transit and DJH also put the same thing, clearly if we see a fence then it was taken from a public area, unless there was an incident I don't know about? I can imagine two reasons. Without that disclaimer, someone seeing the photos might assume the photographer trespassed to get them. (They don't all always have visible fence like that.) So: 1. If the viewer was an MTA employee or police officer, they might assume the photos were evidence of the crime of trespassing and take action that could be turn into quite a hassle for the photographer. Best to avoid that just in case. 2. If the viewer were some stupid kid looking for stupid sh-t to do (as kids often do) it might inspire them to trespass. Better to set a good example by not trespassing, and to make that clear to everyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted June 21, 2023 Share #5350 Posted June 21, 2023 just because it's through a fence that doesn't mean the side of the fence you are standing on is in a publicly accessible place. I have a friend who works for NASA, at the Kennedy Space Center, as a launch controller. She showed me a picture of her and her wife with the Artemis 1 rocket, with a fence between them and the rocket. The side of the fence the two were on they were only allowed in because she worked there. It most definitely was not a public place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
