Hopefully someone figures out a solution to the clearance problems with the R211T on the express track; if not, then I think OO2 would either be all R211A, or they could just run the R211T’s on local routes like the and if they still want the order to be R211T. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option order II have a strong possibility of just being standard R211As. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I do not know, but I saw on Discord that two unknown R211 cars were being delivered through New Jersey yesterday, so we'll just have to wait and see what their numbers are. In other news, R211S cars 105-109 were seen testing on the SIR mainline. Credits to the original owner of the photos below: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA should just stick with r211As for both option orders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I read the Capital Plan correctly, would it be safe to assume that the MTA will order all option orders plus new railcars for the B and D lines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted 14 minutes ago Share #8695 Posted 14 minutes ago One interesting thing about the capital program is that the R211's will also retire a portion of the R68 fleet (i'm not surprised at this at all) The option order II cars were supposed to be for fleet expansion but i guess not. I can see this changing though.
