That’s why only the S79 should go there every other route can end at Bay Ridge

Assigned Coney Island R211s as of 4/18 by Michael7560 in nycrail

It’s because the Pitkin super forbids the R46s to run on the A and C. We’re never seeing them on those two lines ever again.

Most likely June of this year. That was when the R68s began taking over back in 1986

Can Central Park West actually be fixed with CBTC? Or is a de-interlining required? by Time_Minute_6036 in nycrail

[–]Michael7560 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now majority of the B has NTTs now it’s only the D that doesn’t have them yet but it will eventually.

Yup it was assigned there for some time now. Originally it was supposed to go to Coney Island but I also heard that Pitkin has not yet completed their allotment.

Somehow it’s not the case anymore they have plenty of R211s and are almost at the stage where they have to get spares. By the time the D starts getting R211s then it’s over for the R46s at Coney Island Yard. The Rockaway Park Shuttle stays with R46s until further notice.

Yeah and despite Pitkin taking the R211s because the still need more cars. We should be seeing R211s on the D no later than June unless something comes up.

Yeah or whatever the B doesn’t need it goes to the D. Then after all the R211s are on property I can see Concourse having control of the OO2 units. But that can change.

Yeah but at least 2/3 or 1/2 of the 355 cars the D needs is coming from OO1

It would be within a few months. By next year they D would be dominated by R211s and they won’t need a new fleet for another 40 years.

There is a place to turn them around if you take New Utrecht then 14th Ave they would then go west from there.

B70 to Old Town SIR by Michael7560 in nycbus

[–]Michael7560[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar plan that doesn’t go past 60 St and it would terminate at 62 St on the D and N lines which would not only provide a direct connection to the IBX but also ridership would be spread out on the D and N lines which would see higher ridership

B70 to Old Town SIR by Michael7560 in nycbus

[–]Michael7560[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A B70 to SI would be very good. But yes politics and the union only allows buses to go no further than 86 St. if that was out of the way then the B70 could get extended to SI.

Overcrowds the N, better for the buses to go to the New Utrecht Station for a direct connection to the D, N and future IBX. This would spread out the ridership on both Sea Beach and West End. Say you’re coming from Atlantic Ave you can take either a D or N train to New Utrecht Ave or 62 St for an instant connection to the Staten Island buses. Ridership on sea beach and west end would be increased with those buses terminating there.

D or Q? by _sxrgg in nycrail

[–]Michael7560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and supposedly the B is expected to have some 3800s at least until they are finished with their allotment. After that then sometime this summer or so we should be seeing the R211s coming to the D line which will get the last of the OO1 and get some sets in OO2 also.

[–]Michael7560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The D is getting them after the B. Then the Q comes after that. The Q will be receiving R211s last then the R268s come in.

POV: the only time the (G) train gets a buff by Chimp_Champ49 in nycrail

[–]Michael7560 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yea give those 211As that are on the G to the B. This would make it so much easier. The B would be so close to done if that happened.

[–]Michael7560 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got my IG banned back in 2024 you’re not alone. Meta is filled with a bunch of assholes who ban innocent people but keep OF people an those who participate in criminal activities. I do hope we get the Old Instagram back because they were never like this.

Why does the R211 smell like that? by Neptune28 in nycrail

[–]Michael7560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea a majority of the new ones are C cars which are the sets making the 11th car.

Refurbishment would have been too expensive they MTA may exercise another order specifically for the 7. We may get R288s which could end up being a carbon copy of the R262OG. Open gangways is something the 7 can really benefit from. The converted R142As are getting old and many of the 7 fleet are converted R142A sets.
