NOTE: All of the clips in this video were taken from publicly-accessible locations open to passengers. When this video was recorded, this train was passing stations that were open to the public. No clips contained in this video were recorded from non-public areas. Please do not trespass in restricted areas.
Here we see the first cars of the special R211T open-gangway train being tested at East NY Yard. These cars pilot an open, flexible passageway between cars in an effort to increase capacity, improve safety, and decrease asymmetrical car loading. These tests are intended to ensure that the wheelsets and open gangways are able to navigate the tightest simple and reverse curves. Enjoy this technical look at a very interesting test!

I thought that the gamgways originally looked too long between cars. Epically as I'm used to the shorter gangways on the s7 and s8 stock in London. After seeing this I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong, it looks like the work perfectly for the sharp curves on the subway.

The other difference is that the gangways that cover the outer edges of the railcar are better suitable for sharp curves than ones that are in the middle just covering the door bay.

@@KawasakiR211S The D-Type,[1] commonly known as the Triplex, was a New York City Subway car class built by Pressed Steel Car Company. They were operated by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) and its successors, which included the New York City Board of Transportation and the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). The fleet consisted of 121 cars, each arranged as three-section articulated units. Four units were built as a prototype in 1925,[2] and the production units were built during 1927 and 1928. The D-types were the first articulated rapid transit rolling stock used in the United States, and were followed by several more articulated trains until the BMT sold all of its transit operations to the City on June 1, 1940. First placed into service in 1925, they operated primarily on the BMT's Southern Division, although they would also appear on many other parts of the subway system. The R27s, R30s, and R32s slowly replaced the triplex cars, which last ran on July 23, 1965. Three sets and a section were preserved, and the rest were scrapped.

@@Bassotronics On the IRT, I don't know for sure, but Chambers to Park Place on the 2 and 3 is crazy-tight, as is the northbound S-curve leading to 149th Grand Concourse used by the 5. The southbound I don't think is quite as tight as northbound. But on the B Division I recall being told that that the sharpest curves were in the back of Jamaica Yard followed by the ENY leads. Whether it's true I can't say, but that's what I was told by someone in the know. Honestly I'd love to find the definitive answer to that to put in my book!

Seeing the R211T signed up as an L has got me foaming quite a bit. I would react the same way if an R160 Siemens were to run on the L or M one day, though that would be pretty unlikely given that all the R160 Siemens units are 5-car units. It's also kinda unlikely we'll ever see an R211 run on the L either, given that the L already uses mostly R143's, with a select few R160's from East NY Yard. If anything, the R211's will most likely run on the A, B, C, F, G, N, R, and W lines. The R68/A's from the B and D will probably be sent to the C, Q, and Rockaway Park Shuttle lines for the time being. The B and D might also receive some R160's from the G, and the N and W might get back some R160's from the F and R, at least just the Alstom Sets. The A and C will continue using R179's, with the C using a couple R68/A's. The Q will use mostly R68/A's.

Actually I think the car assignments might be more straightforward. The option order R211’s will go to the B and D lines in order to make them 100% NTT for 6th Avenue CBTC. This displaces their R68 and R68A trains to the N, Q and W lines; I think any leftover option order R211s should also go to the N, Q and W. Of course, the four-car sets in the 2nd option order would be for the J and Z lines and possibly even the M. From what I heard, the E, F, G and R lines do not need new trains so those lines would keep their R160s, and, as we all probably already know by now, the A and C lines will be receiving the 460 R211’s (440 R211A’s and 20 R211T’s) from the base order of 535 cars (this leaves the 75 R211S’s for the Staten Island Railway), but they would continue to use their R179s.

So S bends are called reverse curves. #TodayILearned 🤷‍♂️ How convenient that the tightest curves in both categories are at the same yard lol. I think about the R train by City Hall often.

I’m probably in the minority BUT instead of getting new trains, can we focus on repairing stations? Especially those that looks like they are about to collapse any second. I.E Bowery station

You do realize that new train cars are part of keeping the system in good repair, right? A portion of the 6400-ish car fleet is well over 45 years old and has already went through two overhauls so replacement for these cars are necessary.

There’s many stations that do absolutely need repair and I do think mta should start focusing on the technology side of the signal system .. but what’s a system without the trains ? No trains no station to use so I think going forward with the 211s and 292s is definitely the right thing

Glad to see NYC is getting new trains 50 years too late. It wont matter once China takes over in 2030. Just read Albert Brook's book - 2030. You can read all about it there. the American way of politics has failed to proviide the basic infrastructure needs of this country. So there will be new management effective 2030.

That’s impossible to eliminate when you have metal grinding on metal… but.. it can be reduced considerably if using flange greasers. The problem is that rain water washes it away and it’s also costly to maintain on every curve. A silicone boot on the rail could be a future option but that won’t last long.
