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. That's 26 NTTs for the "A" train. I wonder how many NTTs does the "C" train have now that the "M" train is back to normal service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two R211T trainsets + 9 8-car trains out of 11 8-car trains with a 4-car spare for the R179s out of 207 St = 13 full trains with a 4-car leftover.

For the C: 2 10-car trains and 8-9 8-car trains, like @Calvin said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTheMiner Posted April 12 Share #7610 Posted April 12 (edited) Discussion among my friends leads to two likely plans for the R211, factoring number of cars for both option orders, separated into replacement and expansion, as well as the plans for the expansion of Jamaica Yard (which can be found at http://web.mta.info/capitaldashboard/allframenew_head.html?PROJNUM=t8100419&PLTYPE=1&DISPLAYALL=Y ): A. all 5-car sets to Jamaica Yard to cause various displacements (possible plan mapped out) B. some 5-car sets to Concourse Yard, some 5-car sets to Jamaica Yard A less likely plan C would be: some 5-car sets to Concourse Yard, some 5-car sets to Coney Island Yard All of the 4-car sets are likely to be solely for East New York Yard fleet expansion, though personally I would take those sets from the C while replacing them with 5-car sets.

Yes, the sets are being delivered there from Nebraska, originally placed outside as separate cars. They then move them into the plant for final assembly and such before moving them back out as linked cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little wonky, but that was my intention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
