Open-Gangway R211T Testing on the BMT Brighton Line (Speed & EMI)

Before a fleet of new subway cars enter passenger service, they must go through rigorous testing for various different things. Here is the first New York City Subway Car with open-gangways, the R211T, doing speed and EMI (electromagnetic interference) testing on the express track of the BMT Brighton line. The cars included are sets #4040-4044 and #4045-4049.
Throughout the testing, the train was signed as a B to Kings Hwy and a Q to 96 St-2 Av.

[@enochbengabrieljihadshabaz6654]

They very much resemble the R42s, R44s, R46s, R68s bodywise but the propulsion is the same as the R160s, R179s they are good durable cars that easy to bound with plenty of room with a smooth ride for the fellow Melanite brother here just rode on the R211A test train along the IND 8th Avenue was very impressive that he photographed the interior plus the stainless steel which had been a MTA motif so admiration appreciation here😊😊😊😊

They said on the news that they will be testing the new R211 for a month during regular service on the A line only! If all goes well, they'll add on more R211s on different lines! Welp I guess the A train passed its test for other lines to share in such glory!!! Although this video may be a "testing" video, it still confirms the A train did its job! Thanks A train!!!

They can, but they don't often reach it. I think they're certified for like 75. The Chicago subway often hits 55 in some sections.

[@SupaEMT134]

Pardon me. Why is the graphic for the B line flashing??

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

It has to do with the way film photography technology works. I can’t really give specifics as it’s been ages since I last educated myself on the subject but when viewed with your own eyes it wouldn’t look like that.

[@logical.01]

The refresh rate on the LED’s are too fast for the camera to register smoothly, so it looks like it’s flashing (but in reality, it’s just orange)

No clue, but the propulsion sounds real quiet on 4045…

[@JonathanChan212]

Well, if R211T is like that, that means R211A is also like that. Ain't no way MTA would do R211 like that, especially that would've been costly for having two different platforms for the motors

Probably the motor car are in center of the trainset.... T-M-M-M-T for a trainset (Trailer - Motor car) The underbody equipment identifies where the inverters are which are usually on motorized cars.
