⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Brand-New R211As Testing on the West End Line

[@FlareGamingTNT]

If tjey put the R211A'S on the B & D lines that would be AWESOME

[@DJHTransport]

It’s certainly possible!

[@bogdandjumakulov9883]

@@DJHTransport Yes, it's possible. Their testing these new trains on Brighton and West end cuz they are making sure they will run excellent on those lines!

[@farhandoesthings]

@@bogdandjumakulov9883It’s also possible because 6th Avenue will be getting CBTC, and the B and D can used R211’s so they have compatible fleets.

[@bryanmorales7358]

These look so clean and crisp 😮‍💨 I hope the B and D get this fleet very soon ‼️

[@Douglas-j3t]

That could been on the N and Q

[@leecornwell5632]

The N W Q lines is definitely gonna get the R211As because they have R46S aswell. Because every body loves the N W Q lines. The N W Q lines is definitely getting CBTCS in three or five years from now because the rest of the R211As R211Ts has not gotten here yet. They definitely wanna do the 4 5 6 S lines for CBTCS. They are definitely gonna finish the G lines for CBTCS aswell.

[@Douglas-j3t]

How many R211s Are There and even though They Still have the R68

[@Douglas-j3t]

Also they thinking about getting the R262

[@jackoa101]

I was at 20av when I saw an R211 B passing by so I got a recording of it, pretty cool

[@MichaelMitchRailfan2009]

Yesterday, few R211A has finally entered service on C line, and B & D could likely be the next one to get R211s as whole 6th Ave line is preparing for an CBTC installation

[@camera9024]

Precisely

[@ForcingShots]

I thought 6th Ave CBTC was on hold due to congestion pricing pause?

[@theamazinghippopotomonstro9942]

I've been waiting for r211s on the west end line since 2012. Middle school me would be happy

[@Pensyfan19]

With all the recent testing of R211A, with no open gangway between cars, and while the C only has two R211T sets in service with an open gangway, this begs the question: *where are the new R211Ts?*

[@metromannyc6033]

we most likely wont be getting any more

[@MJHmarc]

Only 2 sets was ordered and likey no more

[@TSgotstolengoddamm]

@@MJHmarc honestly im very frustrated with this choice they really should be moving more torwards open gangway to provide extra capacity and honestly i belive if a car has a hvac system that fails the rest of the train's hvac could supplement the 1 car's failing hvac

[@Aatrixian]

@@TSgotstolengoddamm I believe the MTA hasn't ordered more R211Ts due to the pause in congestion pricing which would ultimately fund the resources needed to continue the development of R211T subway cars. We might see more progress **IF** New York City recontinues its congestion pricing projects, or if people can finally stop evading the fare.

[@stevenroshni1228]

MTA only purchased two sets with an option to buy more

[@Star_time_pebbles]

Nice R211As testing on the Brighton lines!

[@basdfl1674]

Saw these at 62st twice hope they come soon!

[@michaelabrams7345]

I have ridden the West End line my entire life. Over 60 years. The newest cars are almost never sent there. I doubt we will see any 211's in regular service on the D any time in the foreseeable future.

[@blackking7512]

So far, we have 27 full R211A sets in service on the A and C right now.

[@MasterTransit_MSDWolf8420]

Dope video.

[@Jackyliu009]

It would be interesting to see them run on Sixth Avenue, however, I don't know if Sixth Avenue is getting CBTC. One thing I personally dislike is the default use of Kathleen Campion's voice for "The next stop is ... " and "This is ... " announcement. I understand that this is done for the conservation of storage space, but it's very out of place, because the B and D lines primarily use Catherine Chowdery's voice. Another thing is that while Concourse's R68's would be transferred to Coney Island, the MTA is prioritizing on Broadway CBTC in its 2025-2029 capital plan. This is quite surprising but also can pose difficulties, because all other 'B' division lines would have CBTC (supposing if Sixth Avenue gets it) which would make it much more difficult to temporarily displace R68's during Broadway CBTC testing, though it might not matter at the end of the day since they would be replaced with the future's R268's.

[@darrylreedy5079]

6 Av will still get CBTC after 8th Av. So either the B and D gets R211s, or they’ll get the R160s from Jamaica. I think they’ll get R211s, but the problem is the B is based out of Coney Island unless it’ll be based out of Concourse.

[@Kingofk5la507]

More r211s? Wow! Nice

[@kevinwong6588]

Foreshadowing the option order, which preliminary fabrication work has already begun.

[@Dutchvanderlinde213]

Shoutout to that one guy with a thumbs up passing 55th

[@ZaeCircle1213]

Nice catch had chance to ride in it testing out of C.I

[@icyleorailfanningchannel930]

It’s a shame that I missed it completely especially that I just ride the D train today

[@keontreadwell4063]

I hope the MTA will get more of the R211s

[@javierbarrucz7755]

Those r211 subway 🚇 cars 🚗 are awesome 👏 and Bellissima ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 2:17

[@6secsofcj37]

Seem some r211s testing on the C line on my way to Coney Island today on the D train

[@scottyerkes1867]

Testing is necessary. 🤞👌😀

[@aaronthefriendlyroblox5733]

The R211As on the B and D would be great! But wait will they replace the R68/As that are on the B and D or will that be for a future new subway fleet?

[@leecornwell5632]

They have to wait for the R268/As to come and replace all the R68S R68AS on the B D trains and the N W Q lines aswell. The R211As R211Ts are assignments for a replacements of the R46S only. That's goes for the same exact thing when the brand new R262/As open and close ways for the A devisins iRT lines to replace all the R62AS R62S on the 1 3 6 S lines. The R68S R68AS and the R62S R62AS has to hang in there for a little while longer.

[@euromatrixkung]

@@leecornwell5632R211A are going to lines with these 2/3 or 3/3 categories which are Aging Fleet, CBTC, and High ridership. The N/W and Q has 1/3 so they aren’t getting the R211A. The D has aging fleet and high ridership so they will have R160 or R211A. The B will have R160 from Jamaica Yard. B and D has to get fully NTT. 6th av cbtc is coming before Broadway.

[@Jean0987654321]

West End Line is gonna be CBTC-ed!!

[@KingofGamingAndTrains456]

R211 (D) looks (D)ope!

[@TheJeromeFanner]

Why is the reason MTA isn’t buying anymore R-211Ts?

[@tweetingsparks]

Nice finds.

[@londonwhaley8690]

I enjoy that video👍👍

[@fiercingdragon]

So finally the D line won't have to deal with any more R68s in the future I'm guessing?

[@AlgonquinRider810]

In the future when the 6 av cbtc and eventual R69 retirements start but they could send the 160 from Jamaica there

[@filly0759]

​@@AlgonquinRider810The R211s will not go to Jamaica for quite considerable reasons related to maintenance. It should be noted that maintaining 2 completely different trains could create a form of complexity already related to the divergent electrotechnical equipment through the costs. In addition, the transfer of each R160 or R211 element as well as the R68 are not free but expensive because of their routing. Yes, that's what railways are.

[@fiercingdragon]

@@AlgonquinRider810 I don't see the R160s coming over since the E, F, R, and G rely on them due to those lines having CBTC.

[@nekocraftguy]

R211 making it's way to the B and D lines

[@Douglas-j3t]

So The D and B lines Is Gonna Get them

[@nekocraftguy]

Yea, that's basically what I said

[@leecornwell5632]

From what I just read. They wanna definitely do the N W Q lines for CBTCS on the Broadway line sence every body loves the N W Q lines. The R68S R68AS is not going nowhere until adleast three or two five or six years. I'm just letting you know that right now. Don't get your hopes wind up. Right now they are definitely focusing on the A C and the G lines for CBTCS

[@nekocraftguy]

Fair point, plus the N W and Q lines mostly run with R46's or R68's as of right now

[@Aatrixian]

@@leecornwell5632 I don't really see that happening for now since 6th Avenue is overdue for CBTC, and since the F and M lines are already fully NTT, only the B and D are left. Also, if the MTA sends R211s to the N, Q, and W lines, then only the R46s will be replaced, and the R68/As will remain on those three lines, which means there will still be no possibility for CBTC on Broadway anyway, not until the R68s and R68As are replaced. It makes more sense for the MTA to send R211s and possibly R160s from Jamaica Yard to the B and D lines in order to transfer R68/As to the N, Q, and W, replacing its R46s, hence allowing CBTC for 6th Avenue, and Broadway will have to wait until the next order of newer trains.

[@euromatrixkung]

The R211A will likely go for the D for the Option 1 Order after the C. Then it will go to other lines with 2/3 categories. The D has Aging of Cars and High Ridership.

[@SulfurLazi]

LOL NO R211S AREN'T GOING TO THE D!!!! WHY DO YOU EVEN THINK THAT THEY ARE HEADING THERE!!!!! THE D WILL REMAIN R68 SO THEY AREN'T GETTING NTT. R211S ARE GOING TO THE N Q W AFTER A AND C BECAUSE IT MAKES THE BROADWAY HAPPIER AND EVERYONE IS EXCITED TO SEE R211S RUNNING ON THE N Q AND W! SO KEEP DREAMING!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SulfurLazi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL, why do you even think the R211 are going to the D. You're so obessed. The B and D will remain R68/A and the R211s after the A and C will go to the N Q and W because it makes the Broadway Happier. People are excited for the N Q and W to have the R211 especially the girls like it. B and D are not getting R211 so keep dreaming! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@meteorknighttitan4322]

I wonder if it's staying on the D line ?

[@Ironman875]

I'm still waiting for who will be contracted to build the R262.

[@Douglas-j3t]

The N and Q Needs New Subway Cars Over After the CBTC swap for the E G and R

[@RascalTrainz]

It better not be CRRC

[@leecornwell5632]

Matter of fact the N W Q lines is definitely getting CBTCS on the Broadway line.

[@leecornwell5632]

Probably Kawasaki Nebraska. That's where the R211As R211Ts R212S and the M8S came from the same exact factory.

[@MJHmarc]

Likey Alstom or Kawasaki or both

[@mafuyu1380]

Why the ny metro doesn't have gangways between the cars?

[@Santiago-lb5md]

Where are the ones with open gangways?.

[@DJHTransport]

They’re running on the C line.

[@SuperheroJunior]

The R211 trains have a similar sign to the vintage trains.

[@kevinwong6588]

The destination sign returned after absent since the R38.

[@therealjereboiz]

can we talk about why the b and d r211 signs look red, D train via 7th Avenue Line 💀💀

[@Noobguy-vj9lk]

I feel like the mta is hinting at the F train getting the r211a next because of their green omny ads

[@DJHTransport]

You’d be likely to see them on the D, hint hint 😃

[@Noobguy-vj9lk]

@@DJHTransport That would be so cool 🙏

[@euromatrixkung]

@@DJHTransport I've been saying that, since the (D) has Aging of Cars and High Ridership. So it makes sense to have the R211A for the Option 1 Order. Also, the (F) line is the likely to get the R211A since it has CBTC and High Ridership. Option 1 Order cars are being built cars number 3400-4039.

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

80k is coming up dj

[@petermarrero5585]

They should put r211s on the Q train instead of r68s

[@euromatrixkung]

The R211s aren't going to the Q line since Broadway CBTC isn't coming anytime soon and it doesn't have enough high ridership.

[@GSU_Panther_Nation]

Is the R211s going to replace the R68s and R68As on the B and D lines

[@Aatrixian]

Possibility. If that does happen, the R68s and R68As will transfer to the N, Q, and W since they're not due for retirement yet.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

They're just testing. Hard to say.

[@leecornwell5632]

The answer is No . The R68S R68AS is staying put on the B D lines

[@euromatrixkung]

@@leecornwell5632Dude r68 and 68as aren’t being put on the b and d. B and D has to get New Technology Trains and send the 68/as to the N/W and Q. N/W and Q aren’t getting r211 since it has no cbtc in progress and doesn’t have enough high ridership. Remember, 6th avenue cbtc has to come first. The B and D have aging fleet and high ridership so they have to get fully NTT. R211 are going to lines with aging fleet cbtc and high ridership which are the 2/3 and 3/3 categories. There is no reason for the N/W and Q to receive NTT.

[@railfannerjs6308]

Then watch another set for the A/C 💀

[@dillonyeardley6270]

R211A`s could go to the B and D because the r68 and r68a will go to coney island to make up for the r46's they are using or the r211A's cold go to coney island to make up for the r46's they are using when they retire and r68's cold stay on the B and D or r160's cold go the B and D from jamaca yard and r211's cold go to jamaca yard for the E F and R lines so they can test the r211's with CBTC sine 8th avenue will get CBTC.

[@euromatrixkung]

I am 90% agree with you, Remember these are for the Option 1 Order. The C will have 130 Cars of the Option 1 Order R211A cars to increase the spare factor. After that the D will have the R211A since it has High Ridership and some Aging of Cars. The E/F/R will have the remaining Option 1 Order of the R211A cars since it has CBTC and High Ridership. For the B, i don't think so since it doesn't have any of these categories. The B will have the hand me down R160. If the B switches to Concourse Yard, then it will likely have R211A. Remember, R211s are going to lines with 2/3 or 3/3 Categories: Aging Fleet, CBTC, and High Ridership. For the base order: The A and C has all of 3 categories so they are the main ones getting R211. Staten Island Railway is getting the R211S. The Rockaway Shuttle will have the R211A and R211T. R68's will be displaced from Concourse and be sent to Coney island Yard for the N/W and some for the B and Q. The B would remain few R68/A's until 6th av CBTC is activated. The Q would also have hand me down R160.

[@enochbengabrieljihadshabaz6654]

Wow this one is very much memorable for when the Melanite brother used to be a Seamark psychosocial club house member in the urban section of Gravesend when the R42s was still in service recall on a daily basis so seeing the R211As been tested along the West End line is definitely a excepational good regiment that both the R68As will share with the R211As .😊😊😊😊
