Don’t tell me it’s because of the congestion pricing being on hold…

But then again, the funding for both the remainder of the base order and the rest of OO1 has been secured, right?

As noted many times in the past here, these cars are previously funded.  Congestion pricing being held up has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The amount of scare tactics surrounding congestion pricing effectively being the "end of the world" for the subway is starting to really get annoying.

Well I can definitely confirm the e tire track that leads from where they nornally receive 211s into the system has been ripped out and will be replaced soon

Are the ripped-out tracks on the south side of the Costco property or next to the under-construction Railcar Acceptance & Testing Facility?

If theyre still making deliveries via SBK, I think its because theyre replacing the track that branches off the (D)at the portal that goes down past the new car acceptance facility being built

They can go through it, there’s an open track that leds it in. I haven’t seen any delivery’s within 2 weeks, I also have been checking SBK for 3 weeks now.

The track that leads from the West End line to SBK is completely ripped off, seen it myself when taking a southbound train.

I passed by it on the (D) earlier in the week. While the track is still there, it's been temporarily blocked with more materials for the acceptance facility.

4130-4134's side signs are not working properly and missing the route bullet. There's a few R-211 units that notably have shut off signs including the front destination sign on 4179.

One would have thought, and one would have been wrong, that they'd replace the tracks long ago when there were hundreds of new cars coming in that depended on that track, and not decide to do it in the middle of deliveries.  MTA planning at its best, although MTA Planning is an oxymoron.

He’s my friend on Discord and I believe he’s actually just a young teen based on what he told me.

There are actual employees on this forum, when we say something is set aside for a purpose its because we know more than yall, keep it in mind. Kamen Rider is one of those many individuals
