I count 130. 13 (ten car) r211's plus 13 (ten car) r179's. That's 26 NTTs for the "A" train. Correct? I wonder how many r46's are still running on the "A" train (without counting the r46's that are still running on the C). Also, is "A" train still borrowing r68's from the "B" during PM rush hour?

4P3607 Posted March 9 Share #7402 Posted March 9 4060-4069 has notably been used for School Car recently. It is currently heading south towards the Rockaways at around 8PM. The trainset could use a wash. One of the flip-up seats in 4069 seems to be sagging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted March 9 Share #7406 Posted March 9 4150-4159 is currently burn-in testing heading to Far Rockaway at ENY as of 11:10PM. I've never witnessed burn-in testing occuring this late before. A few seconds before this, 4170-4179 showed up going Local with blank signage on the South end of the train. It's been running like this all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been running like this all day. As long as trains are in service, they will fix problems enroute. Or the motor person will check the problem during terminals and find out where minor problems are at. Once this train makes its last trip of the day and heads to the yard, the list of problems are directed to maintenance and they’ll take it from there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 10 Share #7412 Posted March 10 If I'm not mistaken, today, the 10th marks 1-year to when the R211s debuted in passenger service. Also, on the outside is daylight savings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense in distributing a faulty program before it is ready. I wonder how they distribute it. Is it over wifi or does it need to be plugged in somewhere? Is it automated, does the train just pick up the latest code when it is within range? Is it pushed or does it need to be pulled? It isn't any different than with your phone. Lots of different ways to update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted March 11 Share #7417 Posted March 11 I had 4170/79 on a southbound trip to Far Rockaway last night. Her electronics were a mess. North motor end sign wasn’t working, meanwhile that set’s other end sign on the conductors position was stuck on, so a northbound conductor had a big, bright LED A in their face. south half has the “exit this side” message, north half did not have ether version, but both had the correct side doors light up as we entered the stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NYPD needs to harshly penalize these teens (and their parents) who are involved in vandalism and/or subway surfing. On 2/19/2024 at 9:48 PM, subwaycommuter1983 said: And for irresponsible parents to sue the MTA if something bad happens to their teen subway surfers. These irresponsible parents should be held accountable for failing to supervise their teens. Of course nothing will happen.... Why? Because the criminals vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelieveinMe Posted March 13 Share #7421 Posted March 13 Pretty bias, if you ask me. Painting a broad swath with such a blatant brush doesn't support Your stand. It only reflects. Perhaps a more clarified statement will clear up any perceived "misunderstandings"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelieveinMe Posted March 13 Share #7425 Posted March 13 Fantastic. The MTA is pretty serious about at least getting a significant amount of new equipment in before the summer heat draws in. Kawasaki is pushing the cars out, trying to catch up to the schedule they proposed for deliveries. With close to 200 cars now in the system, there is still plenty of work to do. I appreciate the hard work RTO does, the fans keeping track of delivery and train spotting. You guys are the best. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
