I’m not going to Count the 75 R-211S’s as they’re not relevant to my point. As it stands now, the Base Order and Option 1 Combined will be enough to displace the R-68/68A to CIY if we take 6th Avenue CBTC into Account, but I don’t think it will be enough to make the and Full Length Yet. …thats where Option Order 2 comes in. Yeah option 2 will solve all shortages on B division probably. C and G could be made fill length but shortage of cars would be even more of an issue probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still Make the and full length, They just have to keep a certain amount of R46s until there is enough R211s to retire those remaining R46s. They are aiming for april of next year to start congestion pricing so they will have to hang on to some R46s plus Coney island is going to need more R46s to increase their spare factor. You can drop the congestion pricing for now and wait until at least 2025 to see if it comes to reality. Because right now it’s all about the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said the 4080s were in the Rockaways It is 4070-4079 that's in service. Read a previous post that was said that 4070-4079 was at Coney Island Yard. Maybe, it moved to Pitkin few days ago. Although, 4080 is still doing testing but not in yet for customer service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZthefoamer Posted June 29, 2023 Share #5440 Posted June 29, 2023 Spotted 4070-4079. It has a strong smell. One thing to note is that the advertisements by the roof are electronic, unlike the paper ones on the pilot set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon2305 Posted June 29, 2023 Share #5446 Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) According to a press held today by the , they expect at least two R211A trains to come into service per month (possibly more if all goes well with production & testing). So I would speculate that there could be close to a dozen R211A's in service by the end of the year and with the R211T's & R211S expected to have their 30 day in-service acceptance later this year, this car order will be rolling right along in the upcoming years. Props to Kawasaki rail car for all the hard work they continue to perform under their tight schedule.

AZthefoamer Posted June 29, 2023 Share #5447 Posted June 29, 2023 A new set every two weeks makes perfect sense considering a set is delivered a week. Not sure if it will be slowed down when R211S sets start delivery. If that number holds up, there should be 14 R211A trains by the end of the year, as well as 2 R211T trains and 1 R211S set. I estimate that the A will be fully NTT in exactly a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptile Posted June 29, 2023 Share #5448 Posted June 29, 2023 It's at least four sets/two trains a month and considering the sheer amount of delays there shouldn't be any problems so I expect more trains than just two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLX9304 Posted June 29, 2023 Share #5449 Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Depends on the builders themselves, Kawasaki builds trains faster. If deliveries goes as planned (30 cars per month) then, proceed to burn in testing, it should be fine. 3 trains per month is a lot better for them to take the worst performing subway cars permanently oos and we will see a real competition between 3 NT subway cars: R160s, R179s and R211s by the time the 43xx series subway cars go in service Edited June 29, 2023 by FLX9304 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
