Great video, thanks. I always thought the L went over the Williamsburg bridge but now I know goes underground to the city. Thoroughly enjoy your videos, it's just like sitting in a subway car.
Logical R211 Car assignments Base Order (440 cars) Most cars in the Base order are going to the A and C to retire 356 R46's at Pitkin Yard; the exceptions are the 75 R211S for Staten Island Railway and the 20 R211T pilot trains with open gangways. The A will keep their 10-car R179's. Option Order 1 (640 cars) The 640 cars in 1st Option Order around 40 of them are going to Pitkin Yard for service expansion on the A and C. The Rest of the 600 cars are going to Jamaica for the E and F. Since Queens Boulevard is the busiest corridor in the B Division, the design of the R211's with higher total capacity and wider doors are ideal for those lines. 570 R160's will go to Concourse and Coney Island for B and D Service, adding 30 extra cars for service expansion. All R68's and R68A's which cannot be retrofitted for CBTC, will be relegated to Coney Island to run on the N, Q and W lines, as Broadway will be the sole remaining corridor without CBTC; however this adds 72 cars in the process, also allowing for service expansion. Jamaica will be left with 720 R160's, adding 30 cars for service expansion on the E, F, G, and R lines (There aren't enough R211's yet to make Both the E and F 100% R211's, so R160's will be used on either or both.) Option Order 2 (405 cars in 5-car units) The 5-car units in the 2nd Option order, 195 cars will go to the C, with 110 of them pushing out the 88 R178's to the J and making all C trains full length at 10-cars each, and the remainder adding 85 more cars for further service expansion on the A and C. The rest of the 210 cars are going to Jamaica, 120 of them to make the E and F 100% R211's, and the remainder adding 90 more cars for service expansion on those two lines. Meanwhile, 60 more R160's are pushed out to Concourse for further B and D expansions. The Remaining 660 R160's at Jamaica are enough to also make all G trains full length at 10-cars each, and the remainder adding 155 cars for service expansions on the G and R lines. Option Order 2 (32 cars in 4-car units) All 4-car sets in the 2nd Option Order, 32 in total, are going to East New York for the M line. 88 R179 cars coming from the C will also provide service expansion; the J won't need to borrow from the L line as much, allowing them to keep more of their 276 R143's and R160's cars already configured for the unique CBTC system used there, of which there is more than enough, so they don't need new trains. To Wrap up: A/C/Rockaway Park Shuttle: 130 R179's (A Only) 695 R211's B, D: 630 R160A-2's E, F: 790 R211's G, R: 660 R160B-'s J/Z: 188 R179's, 40 R160A-1's L: 212 R143's, 64 R160A-1's M: 268 R160A-1's, 32 R211's N/Q/W: 416 R68's, 200 R68A's. May use a small amount of R160's During weekends when the B is not running.
It's a CBTC system. Basically, the second you press ATO, which makes the train operate on its own, a 20-second timer loop begins until the train stops and its to make sure the operator is present to push the button. If it beeps for 10 seconds and no one presses it, the train will go BIE or Brakes In Emergency.
Such a great perspective! Superb!
Rockaway pkwy sounds like a pretty cool name.
