⁴ᴷ Deeply Cleaned R188 Subway Cars on the (7) Line

As part of the Subway Action Plan, the MTA has begun a heavy-duty cleaning program in order to thoroughly wash the surfaces of subway cars and stations. Approximately 3,000 cars will be cleaned under this program starting with cars from the (7), (N), (Q), and (W) Lines. Note how the factory cars have had the bulkhead grouting either thoroughly cleaned or completely retouched whereas the converted cars did not receive that work.

I noticed some very clean R160s on the Q recently. But more cars need this treatment. Finally...

Is no one talking about the speed of the first train? The R188s know how to haul! Heck, you can even see it B O U N C I N G down the rails!

Corona Yard really took their time with the R188 fleet now these trains are Shiny.

[@BLETransitYT]

Excellent work, Corona Yard! Even East 180th Street Yard is gettin' into the action as well!

[@TheBmaxx13]

What a difference 😍😍 that’s how the trains are supposed to be kept

[@lirrenthusiast5948]

Wow this footage is extremely clear, also nice catches of express 7 trains :)

[@mariolaimejr03]

Now that's what I called a very clean train! 🚉🧽

[@Enjineer]

These look great!

[@arielgonzalez5296]

Excellent idea.

[@kevinb8881]

The MTA should do some heavy cleaning with the R62/As on the 1, 3, and 6 lines and bring back their shine like they once did back in the 80s!!!

[@JamaicaZ160R1793010A]

That explains that.

[@petergrudge189]

I noticed more cars are getting this nice blue tint. I only saw a few R160 cars a long time ago test this out but it is looking like a regular thing. Pimp my NTT lol. :)

Corona yard really did take care of the converted R142A to look clean not like the R142A on the 4

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Any idea when the signals on the 7 line will get the plastic bags off them.

[@FunnyMonkey1217]

I like the 7 train

[@supersaiyangoku3580]

What's up with the curving on the elevated train bridge?

[@Bombardier2199]

Have you seen these dusty ass R142s and R142As on the 2,4 and 5?? Man, Corona has done an EXCELLENT job! If Mosholu, Unionport, and East 180th give a damn about cleaning the trains, they should transfer 1 set per week.

These R188’s look amazing, but the amount of glitches in the signage for the (7) <7> is terrible. I really think the R188’s should go to the (6). Lexington Avenue could use CBTC, since it is one of the busiest lines.

[@revaschuller1859]

That's what I call a clean R188 7 train👍🚇😊

[@offstagemeteor3403]

They look brand new
