And when will 4345-4349 be delivered to connect with 4340-4344. That set has been rotting away at 207 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with September starting tomorrow, I am seriously questioning the amount of truth behind this. Unless someone says otherwise, I'm starting to think this was a false rumor.. Our "Summer Pick" That's actually what i meant... Ends in December I keep forgetting there's more non RTO folks here than RTO.. Need to try to ease off the work Jargon in type it confuses some of yall.. Even if it is a false rumor you'll live right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said in the past, decisions with equipment assignments is wholly within the realm of Division of Car Equipment. They don't share details with us until it is absolutely necessary. They may have fully intened to test out the 211s on the Queens Corridor, but for whatever reason decided not to. That whole reading comprehension thing again yet our "summer" pick ends in December. They still doing R211 testing in Queens so says the sheets.. ALONG WITH R179 CBTC testing in Queens oh my they still trying to work those bugs out... I swear some of these folks in this hobby have nothing better to do than foam over when and where train sets are going... They should get other hobbies... Oh heard another interesting Tidbit regarding them R211s but im not saying jack here that one im gonna sit on... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no rule that the latest 10 new cars have to be held until both sets are ready to be released for service. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, they also don't have to be in a consecutive order/consist to be service too. Some these guys need to ease up on that.... Y'all should also ease up on asking me about the shells and shipping because I started skimming those questions for my own reasons.

And from this I can infer that the 44XX cars all the way up to 4469 are either currently being built or have already been built. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopybutt123 Posted Tuesday at 10:29 PM Share #8650 Posted Tuesday at 10:29 PM I saw a OOS R211 set pass me by Jay Street-MetroTech Earlier today. Both of the lights on the doors to tell you when it’s red or green kept flashing. I assume it was a door problem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
