I think he had two typos in his comment..let’s wait and see what’s built and being built.

I have a good feeling that up to 4289 is built, however I’m not so sure about 4309..

My R211 fleet list has 4235-4289 as “supposedly built” and 4290-4309 as “being built” until we have photos 

If only y'all could see the backlog of body shells at Kobe

I do feel like some members have forgotten that the 211s were still being built while delayed

With those arrivals how long till typically it enters service?

You have to factor that:

1. It has to go to CI for installation of gates and programing

2. then it goes from CI to Pitkin fir training and non revenue burn in

3. once it is deemed ready, the cars will enter service.

I've seen R211T 4040-4049 on the (C) . Nothing bad but noticed that the train has noticeable steel dust on the outside. 

I've noticed 4049 with no NYS on the left side of the train. It got tagged, though.

4-6 weeks. Remember: cars must be redeemed “Safe to operate” by said yard before it can be placed in revenue service. So far, 13 R211As and 2 R211T sets (130/20) are in service.
