⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ FIRST LOOK: R211S 105-109 being Moved at Clifton Shop!

[@jsylveon]

gotta love living less than a mile away from clifton shop. I take a picture or two every time i stop by

[@roughcut627]

Finally. Nice to see more car R211S deliveries to Staten Island. I think they have 2 or 3 more sets ready at the Kawasaki Rail Car plant in Yonkers.

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

The second set for testing soon. 110-14 will b the third & beyond! Well done DJ

[@scottyerkes1867]

Great catch. These R211s will serve Staten Island well.👍👍

[@KingofGamingAndTrains456]

Glad to see that the first production R211S is finally on SIR property. Any word on when 100-104 will enter service?

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Guaranteed to be in service in two or three weeks

[@MasterTransit_MSDWolf8420]

R211S looks incredible.

[@ethanpadilla1131]

its been almost a year since we heard anything from the R211S

[@metropod]

That you guys have heard anything… the pilot set was having integration issues with SIRTOA’s cab signal system.

[@nezarionbraxton8790]

Nice View Of Brooklyn, Manhattan And Jersey City

[@armandisip2287]

Great catch! Looking forward to riding those trains. The screeching sounds are supposed to keep pigeons away from the shop buildings. That R32 looks lonely without a mate.

[@josephnadler5521]

I believe that specific R32s mate is the laser train

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

At least it is not scrapped

[@Mr-blue584]

r211s 100-104:hello r211s 105-109:hello both train becone friends

[@rickburtaine7018]

Quite the reset of numbering. A freshly opened deck of playing cards before shuffling. And I'm okay if you become friends with 110-114 first. 🙂

[@davidng2336]

Well this looks like a good sign. And the pilot set is now doing some AAS testing so we should be there very soon.

[@jackchen7003]

Seeing a BL20 push an R211 is wild. id never thought id live to see the day

[@logical.01]

This must’ve been from yesterday or Thursday morning, because yesterday afternoon they had it signed up, meaning the third rail shoes were installed :)

[@munipalsfanboything]

finally! something related to the R211S!!!

[@axolotlyreal215]

0:29 i just realized but in the background, is that an R32?

[@matthewadonis3020]

I can see the first set entering service next week

[@BorisLu]

Amazing!

[@TransitFans]

It seems the R211S pilot will be starting before the end of 2024 for the 30 day revenue service.

[@jaydenphilbertmunipals9089]

I wonder if this set will take almost a year to test aswell

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

yaaaay, we got more

[@brayanbarreramtaproductions]

Yes sir people Urging The R211s in Service

[@АнтонПешков-ъ7н]

Bro the thumbnail seems straight out of a video game

[@DJHTransport]

Lololol

[@Tesla-m7c]

Whats that stray R32 doing?

[@davidng2336]

Now a laser train car

[@acps110]

It’s there permanently, now converted to work service.

[@cantecacara]

The Stranded Island Birds...SHUT UP! 😅

[@8avexp]

First the R-1s had those numbers. Then it was the R-44s.

[@Kuba_mkm]

r211s soon in warsaw

[@realniggsolo]

An r32 in Staten Island?

[@TrainMaster5097]

It’s there for work service.

[@cats0182]

So it’s a 5 car set. Is the rest of the order for 5 car sets? Does the SIRR need the capacity of 5 car sets? Are the platforms long enough for 5 car sets? Why a 5 car set v. 2, 3 or 4 car sets? Why limit to one configuratioj?

[@acps110]

The existing R44 cars are 75 feet long and run in 4 car sets. The R211 cars are 60 feet long and were ordered as 5 car sets. Exactly the same length trains, both 300 feet long. The difference is that the new trains will have 4 more doors, meaning quicker loading and unloading, and shorter station dwell times.

[@TrainMaster5097]

They’re in 5-car sets because each individual car is only 60 feet long as opposed to the R44s which are 75 feet. In short, a 5-car R211 set is actually the same length as a 4-car R44 consist which is 300 feet.

[@Dutchvanderlinde213]

5 cars = 105-109? I’m so confused

[@R211S]

YESSSSSSSSS

[@TheCTANYC]

Cool

[@brian_njtransit]

yeah!!!!

[@zazaranger5]

Are there any differences between the R211 and the R211S? Can they operate in the subway?

[@TrainMaster5097]

Not as they are now. The R211S has cab-signaling equipment which enables it to run on the SIR. They would need to retrofit them if they were to run on NYCT subway tracks.

[@Iconic_maya9]

R211S’s can’t run on the NYC Subway since it’s retrofitted with different components.

[@KennethRembertNYC]

Hey, DJ, if the Staten Island Railway's R211S get it up to car #174 by 2030, I won't had to fuss about it, but still!

[@TCORV]

r211S first day of service January 30 2038

[@tdadp]

More like 2040 it’s the mta Staten Island is forgetting for a reason they want to spend the money on a free train

[@edwardp3502]

Staten Island = The Isle of Birds 😂

[@Singthad]

Worst train ever

[@R211S]

That is rude. The R211S is the best.
