R211a sets

Posted by Edwards! on Thu Jul 4 16:19:21 2024

Rumor abound, the R211 has it's fair share of cars assignments..

Case in point..
A certain number of them heading over to the Queens Blvd lines for permanent service requirement.

While eventually,that maybe true,I'm under the impression that this is a summer schedule for CBTC testing of the car systems, since 8th Avenue is slightly delayed.

A handful of cars will be assigned to E F and R lines to shake down the system.

Another speculation is the additional 4 car sets for the Eastern Division lines.
Option 2 is looking more and more like a 4 car set, like the 179s, non gangway 211A fleet.

Most of these cars would be shared between the M and L lines, with a few for J/Z service.

Obviously because of CBTC service on the two particular lines, and minor increases in service to the Jamaica line,(which sees rush hour levels of passenger crowds during the evenings on 10 minute headways).
