[@rajahamza8070]

That’s amazing riding on that Kawasaki R211S on the SIR for the frist time service

[@danielmakarenko6711]

man we really needed this on SI

[@singhsukhbirsajjan6819]

It is in Staten island

[@legendpeanut3295]

​@singhsukhbirsajjan6819 he meant that we needed this way before but we finally get it at last

[@xpertt4kexclusiveness_mov669]

Omggg I never thought this day would come !!!! I remember in 2011-2012 wishing the R211’s were already built and put in staten island now look!!! Woww I still cannot believe it 🎉🎉

[@minxinglin1520]

Yo, I'm happy to see them here finally

[@OnTheRailsNYC]

Very big achievement

[@ZenicBX]

Moment in history 🎉

[@whiskeykilo2h429]

What history? The train still goes no where! When its connected to rest of NYC subway, then its history....

[@ZenicBX]

​@whiskeykilo2h429 but still a huge upgrade for the SIR

[@whiskeykilo2h429]

@@ZenicBX yes but even this was a struggle to get as MTA originally wanted SIR to receive ‘hand me downs’ R68s

[@legendpeanut3295]

​@@whiskeykilo2h429don't need to be a asshole over it sheesh

[@edwardp3502]

Great video, thank you. I’m out in Los Angeles but felt like I was back home on SI again!

[@edwardp3502]

The girl who made the Richmond Valley announcement should’ve recorded all the station names. She got a Staten Island accent that falls much easier on the ears.

[@edwardp3502]

Looks like the MTA delegation all got off at Grasmere. Guess they didn’t want to schlep all the way to Tottenville 😂

[@sonicboy678]

Well, it didn't take long to see someone walk between cars.

[@Ronnie-ok2bc]

Very Exciting.

[@Jo-322]

Mr. Railfan. I have a question about how I make a nyc subway announcement because I can't know the steps I was wondering can you do a video of how to make a nyc subway announcement by steps and how to edit . I hope you have a wonderful r211s and sponsorship of the Mets day to you .

[@MoskitoGirl]

Woohoo everybody on the road trip

[@norifromreallife-di7hi]

no but someone tell me how these look better than the r211s on the A and C

[@KeysonMitchell-wp3tw]

Now NYC just need some R60s, R179s or R211s on the 6th avenue line, specifically the (B) & (D) lines.

[@xpdev0]

Not just the B/D, but the N, Q, R & W lines as well

[@CLBT7437]

​@@xpdev0The R already has R160s. The N/W and Q aren't getting upgraded for a while.

[@visionpersistance]

Only thing is to do now is connect the SIRT to the rest of the New York City Subway System

[@asianidiot926]

I was riding this home today and som1 on the train said that their friend missed school yesterday just so they can ride 😂

[@whiskeykilo2h429]

GREAT, Now lets get started rebuilding 'Hylan's Holes'..

[@sanitman1488]

LoL now thats a pipe dream.....These idiots cant even finish the 2nd ave subway.........

[@johnbrown8570]

Gotta love all the foamers in their dorky clothes lol. Great achievement by the MTA

[@mikepignatelli273]

We knew that was inevitable...good to see colleagues operating it😊

[@somecallmeelvis]

They have way too much free time

[@TrainsandAvation]

One Question When Will there be more R211's on the SIR?

[@hernandez867]

Yes

[@ratuldeoun7228]

Whose voice is doing the station announcements?

[@flower_7044]

Keechant sewell [apparently]

If anyone saw the guy in full red, yeah that's me. I got overly excited 😅

[@bbriyes]

R211s is the only rolling stock in the mta that actually says transfers to local buses, not just sbs like the r160s and r211s on the nyc subway

[@TheTimmynatoRex]

I thought they'd be using AI-generated announcements similar to what you envisioned, but I was surprised that they actually recorded new announcements for the service that even includes transfers to buses (not just SBS like the rest of the subway either).

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

R268 possible getting ai announcements

[@kirkzevola5004]

Did they do any express runs?

[@MrRailfan]

Yes, 1 trip.

[@8kgmatt]

Seeing my self…

[@bucketblast62]

I never thought that this would happen but it finally did and now feels like a new movie.🎥 🍿 A full ride on the brand new R211 subway cars!🥳🎊🎉🪅🎈❤️Well this might be the full Staten Island Railway announcement reveal to me. Believe it or not I actually have never been to Staten Island. But I have been on the subway and luckily there has been no issues on board for me. I think this is a great fit although the platforms and train cars are shorter than in New York City. Staten Island passengers never got to experience newer subway accessibility including automated announcements until now!! I hope this all goes well in the future! I really want to visit this part of New York sometime. I love it so much.❤

[@transitcaptain]

I went without missing school. Can't say the same for others tho....

[@RealSergiob466]

8:59 How R32 get there??? I’m curious

[@mikepignatelli273]

Sent from either 38th street or Coney Island by truck....there's 2 of them...one is a laser train,other possible de-icer car
