Word on the street is there’s a new breed of trains out in the jungle of New York. Naturally being the channel that we are, it’s only right to check it out. So join me on this quest to find an R211 subway train in the bush of New York City. Let’s explore all the cool features of the R211 car.
September is also the anniversary of the passing of the great Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. This video was inspired by his deep respect and fascination for animals and his commitment to promoting conservation. Let’s channel that same enthusiasm and drive to promote urbanism and public transit.

I like the long open trains, but I worry if a fire starts at one end it will spread to the whole train. Or a mugger can do the whole train and not just one car.
I found R211 A train too but I didn’t get to ride it😥
"That's not a subway. THIS is a subway"
Hahaaaa crocodile Dundee!!
I love those kind of upgrades
I’ve been on the R211 a few times now and i love them. They’re very fast, roomy and bright. I can’t wait to see more of them hit “the jungles” of NYC! You made another great and fun video with this one!
I’ve been in 2 in the same day
This is just too funny! I can't even imagine how hard this was to film in public
not too hard in nyc😅
People were staring at her yikes
@@sergioaracena439 its new york trust me we see shit like this every day
I recently moved to NYC and commute via the A/C trains , though I mostly bike. It took me a month and a half, but I finally got the new trains both ways of the commute! It's funny and sad that you can either catch one of these new trains or a train straight out of the 70s
Nerdus Transiterious: a strange bird that exhibits erratic behavior on the arrival of a new train in their habitat.
Cute video. Kudos for the creativity.
This is hilarious 😂 and wholesome. The segment of the A train from High Street Brooklyn to 59th Street Columbus Circle will be updated to CBTC which will make things even safer and faster.
The R211 T is going to make a stir
Not even 3 minutes into the video and I'm already lmao!! 🤣🤣🤣 Omg you're an improv genius!
I got on an R211 on accident 2 weeks ago at Canal St. my reaction was priceless
Hello there from Singapore! As a fellow train enthusiast, I like this video a lot, it's hilarious and well presented 😂😂 It reminds me of my own experience looking for brand new trains that are also currently being rolled out on our metro line here! 😂
OMG! This was so good! 😄
I love your early Halloween costume.
man this is my dark horse pick for my fav channel on youtube. feels authentic in a way bigger channels cant really afford to be
Several weeks ago I waited at the 14th St station in search of the R211. There was a younger boy there with (probably) his mother who didn't board any of the local or express trains for 30 minutes. So I went over and talked to them. They were trying to find the elusive R211. Unfortunately, they needed to be somewhere, so they gave up and boarded an older train. I did find one a few minutes later.
Had no idea what you were referencing, good thing you clear it out at the end.
Great video! I am hoping to get to NYC sometime this fall! I always come in by Amtrak at Moynihan/Penn Station, so the A train is a regular for me when I'm in town. Hope to get to ride an R-211 soon! Keep up the great content!
This is really great! You should do more "field" work.
This was hilarious 😂 Thanks for the efford and work you put into your vlogs!
Greetings from Germany
Nice for you to ride the new A Train plus becoming like a safari girl on the Subway, Thea. : )
Entertainment at it's best. : )
Love the skit! Really taking urban exploration to the next level. I need to catch one of these myself.
It took you this long to hunt down the r211 hi tech car set. A lot of rail fans such as myself have hunting and these trains since March when the first set roll out for a monthly trial test, now a lot of us just these trains like a herd of buffalos on a monthly basis since they roll out two sets per month for the enjoyment and continue to do so until all the r211s are active and put into service
Why I love this channel :
Fun video, thanks! I like the lighting effects around the doors of the subway. We see new phones every year, subways need some love as well!
This was wonderful.❤
I wish you found the one that you could walk through but glad to see the R211
Looks like some high effort fun
Awesome video! Wish there were more 211Ts but I understand them wanting to test them out first.
This was a GREAT Video. Super cute and fun
I will look of the new trains when I visit in November! Very nice video!.good morning beautiful lady.😘😘😘xox! Have a wonderful day
I truly adore you, especially now after this video
Hahaha this was so cute 😂 great video
The R211 is my favorite thus far.
You are a talented and creative storyteller. Thank you.
😂 i wouldnt be making eye contact if i had saw you on the subway 😂🤭
Whelp this is just the most charming thing ever
R211A i’m finally here welded three trains and six. Sets
You should see the Honolulu Skyline rail, some other transit people tried it i think
Yay! Congratulations on seeing the R211 train for the first time 4:41
With there being five R211A trains in service, the odds of catching one are going to gradually go up.
Her video on the Staten Island Railway still cracks me up. Are those new R211S models in service on SI yet or is MTA still testing them?
NYC needs more trains like that one
there's like 5 sets running now
You had me at chup-chup-chup
I can't wait to operate the R211 one day to see how they compare to the rest of the other new techs.
Congrats on getting train operator job!!! That must have been tough. How did you get in? Do you like it? Is it exciting? Do you get to do different routes? What’s your favorite route?
@jamesbaxter222 I applied online for an open competitive exam. Yeap, I love what I do. Sametimes it is exciting due to unpredictability and sometimes it's a regular day. Yeap, I definitely do different routes. My favorite: Q and A so far.
“You’re my density!”
Love it! 😊
I never seen it before in my life but hope you enjoyed the safari of the R211 A train!! You are like where is the R211! I saw it briefly once at the CI Yard!!
“There’s signs everywhere!” [camera pans up to an actual sign]
I’m only a minute in but this made me crack up 😂
I caught an R211 running a few times. Yesterday, I caught an R211A 2nd Set A train on Canal Street from the E train then I got to the R211A and ride it to West 4 Street.
Love the dedication!
As a New Zealander, I fully support this taking of the piss out of the Australians😄
I had to do a fashion show today and it was this exact train that I got on as an A uptown local
I was in NYC this weekend and somehow got lucky twice! The first time I was explicitly looking for one and expected to have to wait, but got lucky at W 4th St and caught it up to Inwood, and then also got one unintentionally the next day!
I got a feeling that the first R46 trains will be retired sometime this September. They were built from 1975 to 1978. 😊
no, they won't be retired sometime this September.
who knew it can be so fun to take a new train!
I so commend you for wearing that outside, u look awesome 👌 😂
Meanwhile I used Reddit and waited an hour at Jay St-MetroTech lol.
And that was June 15th - right after having ridden a vintage train on the F line 😅 and back when there was only one set
(I'm gonna try again though. I want that new train smell; that first train had already been testing for a year or so. And I want to combine it with a ride on one of the new buses in Queens; double dose of new [transit vehicle] smell!)
The R211s are planned to replace the R46s on the A and C, along with the R68s and R68As on the B and D, with all of their respective trains sent to Coney Island Yard.
Also an R211T (open gangway) is currently in testing along Sea Beach (N line). According to sources, they will be assigned to Queens Blvd on the E,F and R.
This was the greatest video 😂 keep it up!
Ooou love magic spoon but also I love all the content you post keep it up❤
I saw 2 R211s in the Rockaways Today. I captured one.
i have that EXACT model of binoculars LOL
Congrats Thea for the Magic Spoon sponsorship! They were built in NYC too
You got the 4070s set
I love all you subway needs great video
Just rode the r211 again on the 24 th of Sept in the pm hours, and have been on them since June, in fact one week rode them 4 days in a row, they are slowly coming online, goodbye r46
Love the video. Keep up the good work. Love your videos 😊
This was funny and well done! Cheers
Have bad memories of this train, got on at Fulton Friday night and ended up back in London😢 brilliant video though very funny
LMFAO the fit is hard 💜
I was on the A Train to i believe far rockaway and I saw an R211 on the other platform going back. I hopped outta my train to get on but it left before I could. Rip
yes I like trains but not enough to memorize and hunt for rolling stock... admire the dedication
The R211 is lucky to have you...
I hear there's 2 now in passenger service and the MTA is still testing the open gangway model that was delivered in the spring
Haha! Loved this!
That is a good looking train
Gald you like them with many more on the way - Kawasaki field team
haha! i rode it my first time on the subway last week. didn't know how lucky i was
Thank you for this awesome video. That was quite fun waiting for the train with you and we'd like to give a special shoutout to you and your team for providing your viewers with an awesome experience. 🫶🫡
I tried to find one of those, but I couldn’t
What is your next video for Saturday
I was expecting an R211T not an R211A
1:38 she’s lucky that it was an R46
1:51 Nope that’s R179 I’m okay with it cuz I still take it
0:43 didn’t know you could teleport from Hoyt to 42nd St!
I told you is edited
why do you remind me of my second grade teacher
Just go to 207 st and wait.
I don’t have time for that
At least she waited an hour i have to wait 3 hours just for the train but its worth it
That's dedication
@@UrbanCaffeine hmm now my mission is to find the R211T
How come they didn’t go with open gangways on all models?
Woah! You teleported from Hoyt-Schermerhorn to 42nd Street Port Authority! I wish I could do that. Also I have still yet to ride one of those new trains. Just never had the time to actually wait in the station for one. I will get on board eventually.
I tried to catch the R211 I didn’t find it we just stay at the station for very short time.
46s on the a trains
Lol nice!
how is it nice if you haven’t seen the whole video yet?
What is it like to take a r211 I never took one😭😭
These people acting like it’s hunting season:
Me who saw it on my daily commute 👁️👄👁️
Any any plug outlets?
Didn't see any.
You have to sit in a station for hours lol
Oh, no, another crazy person in the subway...
😄
They still could change up the design, but still the same old boring silver design, looks exact same as old trains.
Did you buy explorer clothes just for this video?
She can use it again in a few weeks for Halloween 🎃
Nah I'm always ready 👀
You just made foamers look normal
Love your outfit. You're really very beautiful! 🤩
