Little did I expect, after this run concluded, I would catch the R211 (F) Train and I would take it back home. I truly do hope that MTA considers tests with the (E) and (R) Trains with this model at some point given that they did so with the R179 test with CBTC. And with new cars rapidly entering the system, it wouldn’t hurt to put one of those new sets on a test especially since in the next few weeks we finally get the R211A (D) Train. Speaking of the R211A (D) Train, I will talk more about it as in the following two days, another era would come to an end here on the channel. I hope you viewers enjoy this evening journey with a reroute in Queens.
