Posted by William A. Padron on Wed Aug 4 05:52:27 2021 R211 on the move: R211 Meets R179 A train at Broadway Junction.The R-211's will likely be going through the acceptance burn-in tests along the IND Rockaway Line real soon. A bit of irony is that this video shows R-179 car #3274 on the side. If you all recall, that same car number was last used on the R-10 series, and along with #3333, was involved in that wreck at Columbus Circle on 12/12/1978 in the PM rush hour. -William A. Padron ["Fulton-East N.Y."] |

Wow, those side signs look so tiny with no display, but I suppose with the excellent definition of today's display technology, they'll probably look normal-size when operating. |

Wow, those side signs look so tiny with no display, but I suppose with the excellent definition of today's display technology, they'll probably look normal-size when operating.Then check this YouTube video of a recent MTA conference, where the R-211 set was there at Coney Island Yard. Look very carefully where the side signs are in one of the cars in the background, flashing the "A" and its uptown destination. MTA Press Conference - 07/26/2021 -William A. Padron ["R-211"] |
