NYCT Staten Island Railway: R211S

Taken 9/4/24 at Stapleton, Great Kills, New Dorp, and St. George.
Here’s the first set of Kawasaki R211S trains signed up as a SIR Local running along the Staten Island Railway. This train set (comprised of #100-104) was undergoing automated announcement systems (AAS) testing, to make sure that the signage and announcements are in working order. This is one of the last tests before the train enters revenue service.
Once this set completes its testing, the rest of the 75-car R211S order will start arriving, entering service to replace the older R44s currently in service on the Staten Island Railway.
