Will confirm when I have more info. Based on the gap between the last delivery, the SIRT R211 is probably delayed until mid-May. No, It's probably on Friday and Saturday. You could be right, though. Every pilot set was delivered between nights of the 28th and the 29th of a month. The first R211A pilot set was delivered between June 28-29th, 2021, and the first R211T pilot set was delivered between October 28-29t, 2022, so the MTA might do the same pattern again with the R211S pilot cars. That's what I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, 4070-4079 performed burn-in testing last night on the . Cars 4110 thru 4114 are sitting outside Kawasaki's Lincoln plant awaiting delivery to the city. And O...kay...we didn't even get to the 4100 series yet... and Like Fan Railer said not even past 4090...This is going by pretty fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the N/Q/W are the most forgotten lines bc of the rolling stock they run. It's like the R is the MTA's favorite Broadway child. XD The reason that isn't quite true is that the N/Q/W did have the R160s for many years, and the R had the R46s. They only got swapped because of QBL CBTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the R might get like 3 R211 trains off the 2nd option order, but beside that, that's it for Broadway. The A/C/B/D/SIR are gonna get the most out of any train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It redid the test on April 14th because of breakdowns, homeless people on the train, and malfunctions. I think the test ends on May 13th, then after that, it hopefully will pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, maybe not that big of a problem, like the malfunctions, but at least the pilot set for the 211s didn't do what the 179s did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeless ppl do NOT account for a train’s failure. The problem could be (I said this before) 1. Brakes not malfunctioning 2. Propulsion issues 3. door malfunction 4. bar links not put in proper place 5. Damage to door/window 6. Misuse of operation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rescheduled to do the tests on April 13th and redid it's first day on April 14th, and I believe day 30 is on May 14th. Also, there are other YouTubers out there that have true info, not just DJ Hammers. I'm still confused on why 4110-4114 are sitting to get picked up and delivered when we don't even have 4090 yet...okay, i feel like I know, nvm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever Lincoln has parts available to ship to Yonkers for assembly. The fabs are in Nebraska (and Kobe, though I'd imagine Kawasaki and the MTA would mutually prefer using Lincoln as much as possible). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case no train would ever pass its' 30 day test, lol. In regards to the test itself, I'm not even sure what is the current status. I believe it was reset, but Idk exactly where things stand. I guess we'll know when we know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically do whatever they want with their rolling stock! Cars being delivered out of numerical order is not exclusive to Kawasaki. Bombardier always delivered their cars out of order, as I'm sure every other company that has ever built rail equipment for NYCT. It happens all the time with the buses too. It really doesn't matter when equipment isn't delivered in order since they will all be here eventually. As long as we get everything we're supposed to get (preferably in a timely manner), that's what really matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted April 26, 2023 Share #4648 Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) As a reminder, we know 4060-4069 was taken out of passenger service at least once, on or around April 5th, due to what seemed to be because of door issues. Some Reddit users have claimed 4060-4069 was taken out of service again earlier today, including one who said they saw it sitting at Euclid this afternoon. Another user on that Subreddit's chat thread claimed that the train lost power this morning between 207th and Dyckman which is why it was taken OOS. No idea how accurate that is though.

If they took a train oos this morning, why would that train run from Dyckman St in Manhattan all the way to Euclid in Brooklyn, where there is 207th St Yard? Isn’t 207th qualified to fix New Tech Trains’ problems when it’s at close range? Edited April 26, 2023 by FLX9304 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTAISCOOL09 is actually a very reliable youtuber, also, some sites (not like Wikipedia) are reliable, too. Those are where I get my info from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
