  • On November 19th, 2017, the new R179 subway cars entered service on the J line. The 6:55am scheduled trip from Jamaica Center to Hewes Street was the first revenue service trip to be provided by R179 equipment. Fellow RUclipsr and friend Tech and Transit ( / rjacknyc ) had the honor of being the first revenue passenger aboard the R179.
    This operation is part of the "30-day test", in which the train must operate in passenger service without a major failure for 30 days in order to pass.
    Some clips were taken by Tech and Transit, as well as Mr Railfan, and used with permission. Subscribe to their channels!

      The R211 is a clone of the New Tube for London (which is just a concept) and 81-765/766/767 «Moscow» train cars and this doesn't make it any better

      It seems like all the new cars coming into the system now all look alike , the R143s, R160s , the R179s , the R211 will seem to follow suit and you cant tell much of the difference except for listening.

    It's about time! It's seems like almost forever when they started running around these trains on their tests! I didn't know that they were going to operate today until I watch your video tonight. You shot this in the area not far where I live. Can't wait to ride them tomorrow God's willing. I thought that r179s going to be in the A, C line and the D, G maybe I didn't think that they going to have it on the J line. It's beautiful train it's too too bad that at least keep them spotless clean as the rest of the others before looking so dirty.

    It was a good long run for the R42's running on the (J) & (Z) lines, I would say the (M) but it was only using them for the shuttle at the time so yeah but what a hell of a run.

  • @syads.5738
    @syads.5738 6 лет назад +6

    The hype is real, I have waited longer for the operation of a delayed new technology train than our house's repairment which was destroyed by sandy. Both of which costed a ton (only one of which I was happy throughout). I really wish I could've seen one of these but I may not for a while since I live in the rockaways and the A wont get them for a month at least.
    That being said, I can't wait to see these on the (A) and the (C), as well as the (J) despite the removal of R42's. I really want to see it on the (A) however since almost every other line runs a new tech train or something not from the 70's and old R46's go from desolate Far Rockaway to the tip top of Inwood, every single day, is odd. For the longest line in the system, that connects all subway lines excluding the Frank Ave. (S) and also connecting dozens of bus lines as well, newer trains to me just make more sense.

      @Loser the r143? It does have cbtc, but there's a huge difference, first, the logo is on the top of the flag then under plus inside it gives more of a warmer feeling, while r160 and r160 have a cooler feeling, third, it has orange strips under the plate numbers so you know it's an r143.

    Propulsion is different from other Bombardier MITRAC trains the R142A,R188 & R143 due to them making a steeped siren like sound when accelerating from a station but the R179 propulsion sounds like CTA 5000 series and Transport for London S stock & 2009 stock when leaving a station like Jamaica Center or 42nd Street Port Authority bus terminal on the A & C trains. The MTA should get the 10 car train version a revenue 30 day test on the A train from 207th street Inwood Upper West Side to Far Rockaway Queens or Rockaway Park during rush hours

    These are Bombardier-made trains with their MITRAC propulsion systems, right? They kind of sound similar (but different) to the C951 trains on the Downtown Line MRT we have here in Singapore; the R179s sound kind of lower-pitched.
    Are these using PMSM technology? Wikipedia simply states their propulsion model as Bombardier's MITRAC IGBT-VVVF, with no mention of PMSM technology. Our C951s are stated on Wikipedia as using Bombardier's DR1200 PMSM propulsion systems.

    You know when is the best time to ride this train? After everyone else catches that train! That way, only you are recording footage with no one around(with the exception of a few passengers).

      If you look at the top of the lead cars on the R179 it's got a silver outline instead of all black. They sound different too and I notice the third rail pick up is red and bulkier than the R160s.
