Great job! I wish I were there. Too bad that I am only 16 and I wouldn't be allowed out that late. That is why people love your videos! I hope to be able to go catch the R179s testing. By the way, will all of the cars be brought out at night as they are expected to?

 

It is nice to see a shiny new subway car. That won't last long. If the R179s came earlier, I could have seen the MTA having an R179 on the first trip to 96th to showcase the new equipment. This could still happen if the SAS is delayed.

 

I know that you are being bombarded with questions, and this has probably been asked of you, but do you have any information on the propulsion system? Thanks in advance.

 

With Wakefield, you guys have really made a lot of railfans happy.

Last of these bunches that makes up R143 in 2000 (8101-8312 minus 8277-8280 which hit the Canarsie-Rock Park bump 8 years ago or more), R160 series (8313-9974) and now the R179 (3010-3049 [5 car sets], 3050-3309 [4 car sets]) has been delivered, wait til they get tested and the rest is just burn-ins
