trainfan22 Posted February 10, 2019 Share #7326 Posted February 10, 2019 At 207th, transfer to the 1 line is announced (and listed on the find)and has an brand new person announcing the transfer.. Also an 32 A train pulled in 207th right behind causing quite a bit of "excitement". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time it entered service! It's about TIME! I don't live on Far Rockaway anymore but these are so cool to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to getting rare catches, you both do an exceptional job of editing your videos and making them look crisp. While anyone like myself can go out and take train videos, you put in the extra effort, which most people, including myself, can't do. I agree. I wish I know how to upload pics in this forum. Now that the pilot train is finally in service, we should expect the next 10 car train to be delivered within the next 3 to 5 weeks, depending how well the passenger test goes with the pilot train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrQuesada Posted February 10, 2019 Share #7329 Posted February 10, 2019 As an train rider this is so incredible to see. Almost every subway line in New York has (or occasionally sees) New Tech Trains. The will finally join this trend. It's been a rough wait. Years of ancient trains. The first New Tech is here, though- and more are on the way! I seriously can't believe it. riders will be able to hear announcements and have working A/C!!! 😭😭🤣🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first set of R179s assigned to the made a trip to Far Rockaway. Big deal. I predicted otherwise. I couldn't care less if you were right or not, which is why I didn't bother wasting my time responding to you in the first place, but you felt the urge to send me a second response to further reinforce your insecure ego. Maybe you've spent too much time underground. There are plenty of therapists here in NY that you could choose from. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, enjoy this clip!! BTW, I've seen a lot of YouTube comments by A train riders showing a lot of excitement about the r179's.

No. 2)your little speech there, is the kettle calling the pot, hot. 3)insecure ego? Please. 4)I spend more time outside then underground. Thank you very much. But in all seriousness, here you are, writing this big grand response over a post calling me insecure and saying hownits not that big of a real in the first place yet there it is, written out in all it's glory. If I need a therapist, I'm sure you have a few on standby you can recommend. And not only do i not recall ever interacting with you before, since you say I'm always trying to be, oh wait, you said desperately provimg I'm right about every little thing, butbi mayself aren't on here often, so I guess either someone got butthurt (over a post BTW) and decided to lash out, or you went back and read the majority of my posts spread out over the last what, 10-12 years or so?

Coney Island Av Posted February 11, 2019 Share #7343 Posted February 11, 2019 A few photos from the R179 train today.

Not that I'm too surprised because they're the system's newest cars and the R32s are the oldest. Hence why the R32s barely go beyond 40 from my experiences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
