Yo, I'm happy to see them here finally

[@edwardp3502]

Great video, thank you. I’m out in Los Angeles but felt like I was back home on SI again!

[@OnTheRailsNYC]

Very big achievement

[@Jo-322]

Mr. Railfan. I have a question about how I make a nyc subway announcement because I can't know the steps I was wondering can you do a video of how to make a nyc subway announcement by steps and how to edit . I hope you have a wonderful r211s and sponsorship of the Mets day to you .

[@Ronnie-ok2bc]

Very Exciting.

[@ZenicBX]

Moment in history 🎉

[@whiskeykilo2h429]

What history? The train still goes no where! When its connected to rest of NYC subway, then its history....

[@edwardp3502]

Looks like the MTA delegation all got off at Grasmere. Guess they didn’t want to schlep all the way to Tottenville 😂

[@whiskeykilo2h429]

GREAT, Now lets get started rebuilding 'Hylan's Holes'..

[@sanitman1488]

LoL now thats a pipe dream.....These idiots cant even finish the 2nd ave subway.........

[@edwardp3502]

The girl who made the Richmond Valley announcement should’ve recorded all the station names. She got a Staten Island accent that falls much easier on the ears.

[@sonicboy678]

Well, it didn't take long to see someone walk between cars.

[@johnbrown8570]

Gotta love all the foamers in their dorky clothes lol. Great achievement by the MTA

[@KeysonMitchell-wp3tw]

Now NYC just need some R60s, R179s or R211s on the 6th avenue line, specifically the (B) & (D) lines.

[@xpdev0]

Not just the B/D, but the N, Q, R & W lines as well

[@8kgmatt]

I never thought that this would happen but it finally did and now feels like a new movie.🎥 🍿 A full ride on the brand new R211 subway cars!🥳🎊🎉🪅🎈❤️Well this might be a full Staten Island Railway announcement reveal to me. Believe it or not I actually have never been to Staten Island. But I have been on the subway and luckily there has been no issues on board for me. I think this is a great fit although the platforms and train cars are shorter than in New York City. Staten Island passengers never got to experience newer subway accessibility including automated announcements until now!! I hope this all goes well in the future! I really want to visit this part of New York sometime. I love it so much.❤
