New R211 Subway Cars on their Second and Third Day of Passenger Service

Here is additional footage of the new R211 cars taken during their second and third day of passenger service. The R211 made its first run to Ozone Park-Lefferts Boulevard on March 11, 2023. That run can be seen here at the 181st Street and 14th Street stations. Enjoy!

I really hope the second R211A set enters service on the C Line. And I also hope the first R211T enters service on the A Line.

The R211s are bound to be loved by everyone. Edit: Okay guys maybe not everyone, BUT MOST PEOPLE SO STOP THE ARGUMENT 😭

Speak for yourself, the PA system sucks and the shortage of seats isn't exactly a good thing either, r160/179s are better

[@cat5hurricanelorenzo880]

@@droppingemstv4283 I think shortage of seats is better since more passenger space

[@droppingemstv4283]

@@lamargoat2.054 when I say PA system i don't mean the automated announcements by the computer. I'm talking about the actual conductor speaking it's very hard to hear what he or she is saying, it picks up to much background sound

👍 Great Video On The R211. I Like The Propulsion.

[@williamyoon7660]

Sounds somewhat similar to the Siemens-Propulsion R160Bs to me, doesn't it?

[@landocalrisian2014]

I made a comment about how nice the propulsion is in another video. Very impressive.

[@DoubleTripleT]

Still fresh and clean

[@lowkeyclanent7551]

It will take a week to a month to get dirty

[@xeno8630]

It's already dirty lol, I see smudges everywhere, and I heard someone threw a coffee at the train

[@DoubleTripleT]

@@xeno8630 I don’t see any lol not even a coffee stain

[@nyctransitrailfan]

I doubt it’ll stay like for the next months, the 207th street yard doesn’t take care of their trains, they are always dirty, just look at the R46’s on the A, compare that to the R46’s on the N line, you’ll notice a huge difference of cleanliness

[@karatekidfahim3]

@@nyctransitrailfan yeah that's one reason why you'll see me on the N more than the A

[@byronthomas4733]

Let's just hope the people don't tear them up😮

[@glamslamcam]

I’ve seen a few people say the P/A is bad but from this video, it sounds loud & clear to me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@douglaswells6656]

So it's Better than the R46

[@douglaswells6656]

In a way the N and Q Should have gotten those

[@douglaswells6656]

And just Retire the R46 It Has a Good Run Since 1975

[@Deejayjax]

Those mac and cheese bites look absolutely delicious

[@person3070]

Wow! Cool

[@CharlesReiche]

Did I see that one of the internal signs had failed? 30 days start over?

I didn't get the chance to Ride on it Hopefully I will

[@farrockqns3759]

Gotten it twice already and I love it but of course ppl will find something to not like about it

[@lowkeyclanent7551]

Is there only one set on the A line

[@adrianwitzburg4140]

7:04 what happened at 145th Street?

[@TheHannaWoodpecker42]

I think there doing track work.

[@Tran3itf4n]

Can someone tell me this weekend when the R211 is coming plz I want to record it

[@MtaTrainsFan]

The r211 is on the (A) right now I'm talking it

[@nyctransitrailfan]

You’ll have to wait for the train to show up at any time, it’s running on regular schedule just like the others so better watch out for it’s arrival 🤷‍♂️

[@Tran3itf4n]

Ok

[@mikemanners5803]

7:17 that looks more older and worse and shows way less then the R160’s

[@karatekidfahim3]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHTS IN THE BEGINING? 💀

[@douglaswells6656]

I'm thinking That the R211 Is Running on the A line maybe the next few years the R160 will go back on the N and Q
