  • The eleventh Kawasaki R211A off the line is now on the rails of the A line in the New York City Subway! This consist is numbered 4190-4194 and 4195-4199 and joined the A on 3/5/24.
    All of my videos are filmed on an iPhone 13 Pro Max in 1080p at 60fps then upscaled to 4K, unless stated otherwise.

    Wow, just like that, another one hopped in service! I'm hoping to see the 42xx R211As coming in service as well!

    There are officially as much R211s in service on the A to be exactly the amount of sets of R179s on the A.

      Looks like the MTA has been trying to put multiple trains into service each week to make up for the time lost due to the gearbox issues last fall.

      That makes 14 R211s overall in service, 12 211As and 2 211Ts... 2 more 211As in service already in one day?!

    Now that more R211’s are in service, has the (A) been using fewer R179’s or is it just me? I noticed I haven’t really seen a lot of R179’s on the (A) recently.

    • @notmrpopular0099
      @notmrpopular0099 7 месяцев назад

      I don't know, the amount of 179s is on par with the 211s last I checked... And even then, I don't think any 179s has been transferred or anything.

    Just got word that the 12th R211A has entered service, but this set shown here wasn't the one in the burn-in testing video recently though... So, as of now, we have 14 R211s overall, 12 of them are R211As... I wonder when the 13th 211A will go under testing, as well as the 1st R211S... The only way to know is if any more 211s are coming to service is to find them under testing but I don't know if there are anymore of them are undergoing testing elsewhere for now... Correct me if there is at least one under testing though.

    • @fantherailsbc

      Yes, the R211As are being delivered and tested as quickly as possible. Service entries are behind schedule and the MTA wants to catch up.

      Any B division rolling stock can operate on the Rockaway Park Shuttle. R179s and R46s and anything else they've got in Pitkin Yard can. There is nothing that says only R46s can operate on the shuttle.

      @@kingofthelight8260 I don’t know, but I would assume it’s because the A has plenty of R211s in service now so those R179s can be placed elsewhere. These decisions are decided by the yard, in this case Pitkin.
