The train curving like a snake is something that’ll never get old I’ll be looking the whole time I’m inside 😭
S N A K E TRAIN
У нас с 2014 года такие поезда ездят. И до сих пор не устаю наслаждаться тем, как змея извивается. И да. Как быстро новые вагоны станут свалками?
Like the M60 Bus lol
@@misaelarroyo5971 Its an articulated bus
Eh… I got to work on her a few months back, doing test runs. I was… an experience to say the least.
I'm glad these things are finally in service.
I believe they announced only 2 C trains are in service until they can afford more.👀
This model looks better than the prototype when passing through the train.
And it looks like the first R211Ts entered service on the C line, it’s about time, and then lastly the R211S have to enter service for the SIR
Sad day for sure
@@r62aguy85 Who will miss the R44 and the R46 train when they retire? And when will the R262 trains arrive?
@@Hotters9060 every transit fan of course or at least the older ones because the younger generation of fans don’t appreciate old school equipment that older generation transit fans do
You can’t blame younger generations since they weren’t around as long to enjoy older rolling stock as we are.
@r62aguy85 R68 much better than the Stinky 46
YES R211T IS IN SERVICE
foamers

i personally like the R211T better than the R211. thank god they enter service.
Too bad the R211 has no open gangway
Thank you!! These are beautiful cars. I love all the screens and LEDs. We are finally in 2024.
All of that in a completely out of date and unclean subway system.
Having been on many open gangway trains before (mainly in Hong Kong and Paris), I’m finally excited to try these out! And hoping that the second option order could have these, depending on their success!
It was also wise to have both the hard and soft shell sets in service, allowing customers to try both styles out. I wonder how the other two sets will end up once the enter service.
I hope they gather enough information about it to change their minds for the first option order, whose delivery won't start for another year.
@@samuelitooooo unfortunately I think that once the first option order has been approved, there is no turning back. And that first order will have the normal version.
Hey David You should try The 12th line of México city metro Those trains are fabulous with those TV's hanging on the roof and they are open gangway They are not dirty they are clean Just remember its from Mixcoac to Zapotitlan Because the ground one (Tlahuac-Tlaltenco) is closed due to maintenance after the 2020 3 may tragedy collapse.
I love seeing people’s reactions to this as they get on
I feel that the interior of the R211T advanced and very cool. I would like to take one someday.
NY's subway with its grades and radii far exceeding newer systems should make the "snakey" interior view very interesting!
Unless they put these in service on the R, we won't be seeing these on BMT lines, which generally have tighter turns than IND lines do.
@@samuelitooooo
Open Gangways can manage shaper turns so it shouldn't be an issue but the BMT Eastern Division has tighter curves so we probably won't be seeing R211T's on BMT East once the MTA approves the second option order the (4-car) sets are going to be R211A's while the (5-car) sets would be R211T's
@@samuelitoooooDuring the Testing Phase of the R211T, it did run on Brighton, so we might see them on the B line, but i don't know about the D line since West End has very tight curves
@@xpdev0 Gothamist published an article this week relaying an internal MTA memo that prohibits these open gangway trains from running on express tracks.
That rules out the B, D, N, and Q, which are all express at some point, as well as the E and F. I forgot about the W, though CBTC isn't even on the roadmap for Broadway at all. Still, that leaves the C, G R, and W as eligible.
I'm not worried about how it'll handle curves, in terms of structural integrity. One of the first clearance tests that were done was to take them to the tightest curve in the system, as well as the tightest S-curve, both which are at yards. I'm slightly worried about how people will learn to stand next to the gangway area, but riders should already be familiar with articulated buses, and tourists … are more likely to have already ridden trains like this lmao.
This is great to see the R211T finally running in passenger service on its 30 day testing
The C Train is not doing a 30 day testing right now. It will probably Queens Blvd doing the 30 day testing later this year
London, England has had open gangway subway trains since 2010.
Spain had open gangway subway trains since the 90s
It's about time. Goddamn. Now for the r211S.
Same bro. Their taking too long to test.
@@Vlance213They have to keep things in check before going into service. Look what happened in October.
@@Dondeenie still.
R211S are for SIR?
@@jackslc01 Yes
Yess! I’m gonna catch this bad boy on the C line!
You know what’s crazy I saw one today let it pass and took a R46 instead best choice I could of made
@@r62aguy85nah
I got to see these for the first time today, so nice to see other fellow railfanners enjoying the ride!!
Great news. The new 211T s go into revenue service!! Thanks DJ Hammers💚👌
🎉🎉🎉
Yeah!!!!! The new born baby R211T Subway car is now in service at last!!!!!
@@DJHammersTrains Is amazing unbelievable R211T doesn't have emergency exit between train car terrified.
@@DJHammersTrainsThis train is running on the C train.
@@rigojeftegalo3282they do 2 in each car
Bruh, that train is freaking beautiful. I love the exterior, the interior, the look of the open-gangways... absolutely astonishing. I love these.
After a while of waiting, it’s finally here! They look so good too
It looks beautiful ngl
When will the R46’s be completely phased out? Also they should keep the R68’s for a little bit longer. They truly are beautiful cars
R46 prolly retiring 2025-2028
I’m sooooo happy that they are finally in service
I remember riding the C train as a kid. Watching the conductor climb out between cars to operate the doors. Catching a little breeze from to ceiling fans. Too short to grab hold of the strap hangs. Feeling like I was riding the Coney Island Cyclone as the train jerked and rattled down the track. The sound through the open windows in summer, almost deafening at times.
We've certainly come a long way.
sound like the original ps3 startup 😂 0:16
lolololol
Wow! Many thanks for this glimpse of the first day of revenue service for these long-awaited cars. I'm eager to ride them myself. Any ideas about the best times to try?
My only *slight* critique is that I was disappointed you didn’t take advantage of the sparse passenger load at the start to highlight the train's headline feature by walking through a few cars on camera. Still, I really appreciated seeing this. Thanks.
And they don’t really need to repeat the revenue service testing, given this is basically the same model as the vanilla r211. They just count it like a variant.
From Chicago, Congrats MTA!
the funniest train ever the way it curves
They look great for the passengers.
New York finally introducing 1990s technology
😂😂
better late than never
they are Americans
as a berliner who has had open gangways subway trains since 1995 it is mind boggling that new york took 30 years to finally introduce these type of trains.... and still they seem to waste a ton of space....
Ich habe mir genau das selbe gedacht! Und das für eine Weltmetropole wie New York? Verstehe das auch nicht so ganz...
We did not have the costs to do so. The MTA planned on doing it back I'm 1995(?) But they scrapped it because it would cost too much
NYC is antiquated is so, so many ways - the fact that open gangway took this long should be of no surprise.
@@VideoAmericanStyleIt's about funding. In the USA, most of the funding comes from the city. In Europe, the national government supports public transit much better.
LIRR and Metro North had these type of open gangway cars for years upon years! It’s just the subway system that lacked them. They got screwed with a previous train deal. That set them back financially. They are finally now able to get these trains. I believe they may still have the previous manufacturer in court over those trains.
The interior of the gangway looks somewhat similar to the C830C MRT trains here on Singapore’s Circle Line. It does seem like the gangway’s narrower on your trains compared to ours in Singapore, but then again given that your subway cars are somewhat narrower compared to our MRT trains (10 ft or just slightly over 3 metres vs. 3.2 metres or around 10 ft 6 inches) that’s kind of to be expected, I guess.
Also, it’s good to see New York finally getting open-gangway subway cars. Metro/subway trains with gangways have long been a staple of other metro systems around the world, and it’s long overdue for New York to finally get such subway cars as well.
These new NYC Subway train interiors would look so much better painted in pastel colours which would have a calming effect on passengers minds; whereas the metallic silver interior panels are stress raising.
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHOtoulouse did pastel color for their train for their future line C and its actually pretty good!
I saw C830 many times and i can't wait to see them in person because things look small when watching in devices. Infact i would also be pretty exited for the future line C metro of my city which is coming in 2028 due to delays of the virus normally was planned in 2024 (the city is toulouse i guess) because of how large the new train would be its 36meters long extensible to 48 meters if needed only an extra wagon between the train normally its 9 wagon max which will make 162 meters! Could be the longest train in Europe! The brand is alstom metropolis its pretty new the width of the train is 2,70 meters large enough to fit all the passenger in a crowded station it also have sideway chair and deleted the folding seat to avoid crowds its open gangway too! And the open gangway is larger than the open gangway in the c830 somehow. The design the most coolest i ever seen
There is 1 wagon of the train presented in a exposure

Lets also make a comparison lol it would be pretty fun
Here is the c830 currently in service

Finally, New York's and Buenos Aires' Line C's have fully walkthrough trains
now THATS a nyc train of respect.
That doesn’t even make sense,
We don’t need open gangways. We need open peopleways.
We got enough gangs around here.
Yay. The New York Subway finally catches up to the rest of the world.
Well that was fast... it's almost like looking at the mock up of this train like it was yesterday...
It never ceases to amaze how behind America is when comes to public transportation. This has been most European countries for so many years.
Good services R211T! This looks like Japanese train open gangway!
And thus, the R211T was born!
Gotta treasure the R46s more now
The formal inaugural ride? Thanks you again Transit Museum for not letting the members know about this.
We making it outta Bronx with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Missing the announcement that 'Police are on the platform if you need assistance.'
Either it hadn't been programmed in yet, or this video was made before the law enforcement surge in the transit system.
These cars look fantastic though.
I mean it looks quite nice. The interior appears nice looking and the information screens seem promissing (idk how practical or good the interior actually is, compared to the old rolling stock).
However, what i, as an european, never understand is the outside design when it comes to american trains and metro-trains. Because nearly all new trains already look quite outdated in my opinion.
Like, when a western european city f.e. (or an industrial important asian city) order new rolling stock, its really a new, modern train. On the outside and the inside. Bigger windows, swinging doors and a better use of the avaible space and a new, more futuristic frontdesigns and colour scemes.
In comparison, these trains look nearly identical to their predecessor. They have a similar front and side design, the same door mechanics and the gangways look super narrow compared to comparable metro trains in europe.
How do you know the door mechanics are the same?
Toronto has had them for over 10 years...
5:41 it didn't announce the W train
That 'snake' is a trip around those turns! Never realized how tight those radii are til now. I'm catching an red eye and going to New York for a ride!
This is a Brooklyn bound (C) local train! The next stop is, 163rd Street?
Bro does not know why there’s a freaking R211T on the (C) line.
TTC in Toronto has had these trains on lines 1 and 4 for more than 10 years now - the TR-1 series or Toronto Rocket trains.
Train dope af👍
That guy in the grey hoodie was wondering why were u filming😭
The long perspective is very cool, and then it goes up a level when it snakes around curves. It's like a ride at Universal Studios. 😂
I like all the lighting and the digital signage throughout the train cars. It gives them a futuristic vibe. Well done.
Welcome to open gangway trains NYC! My city has had open gangway trains since 2000.
I was just on it coming from Euclid. I walked downstairs, and it was just there, lol. Also, quick questions are all the R211s back in service because that's all I was seeing my whole ride from Euclid to Fulton. Not a single R46 in sight.
I saw a R211T with open gangway Subway cars on the (C) local when I was in the R179 (A) Train at Broadway Junction of the southbound platform today and I did not have a chance to take a photo of it.
Holy cow. Remember the C train as the worst looking train. This looks real nice n open access between cars. 👍🏾
I think that it’s interesting that in the late 1920s, the BMT-the most innovative division of the NY subway system, developed the type “D” Triplex car, which featured open passageways between some of the cars.
YO FINALLY🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
cant wait for these to come to queens . .. .
Take into consideration the passenger load time as well. Open gangway trains allow riders to distribute themselves between train cars and minimize crowding at the doors. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this train is consistently ahead of schedule compared to trains on the express track because of this.
I just rode the new R211T (C) train and I will post the video on UA-cam shortly.
2:48 that is so trippy.
NYC's subway is really very curvy than most existing metro system with open gangway design. In some extreme cases, tight curve may squish the connection area. (May not cause injury, but can still be very dangerous.) You may just want to use it as a connecting passage. Not a standing area.
Finally... the time have come, for this!
Lovely! This is how it should have been years and years ago. If I recall my research work correctly, open gangways aren't anything new. I've read many sources describing the BMT company used to run D-Type Triplex that feature open gangways in the New York subway almost a century ago.
The D-types were articulated three-carbody sets, so that was a given.
Wtf...NYC only just got these? Aren't these standard in other countries for like decades
Yes, but remember that this is the United States. 😉
You're under the impression that NYC public accommodations were cutting edge? That hasn't been the case for _decades_ .
im under the impression that USA is considered a world leading nation.@@RailRide
@@skunkfac3united states already had express trains with open gangways
Definitely hope to “C” this train and ride it soon!
Good one
“C” what you did there!
We both "C" what you did here lol
I like how you could just walk into the next car with no problem
I remember back in the 80s I used to ride btwn cars anyways, sitting on the chains while grabbing onto the upper hand grips btwn the two adjoining cars... this wasn't possible when two R40 slant-faces were hooked-up together, but that in itself allowed for an awesome open-air "convertible" ride, with up to over a dozen people at a time! Until the police forced us back in. 😊
New C trains that's good they finally come out
It is very obvious how sharp the curves are.
Time to hit up the city and just ride this open train for a little while
OMG look at how run down that first station looks.😮Yes I know how old the system is and it looks Dreadful. I can't even focus on the new trains. Just think of all the tax breaks given and lost Revenue that could have been continuously put back into the subway system.
being buzzed on the train and seeing that long snaking view will mess with you 😵💫
I hope to take it soon, its part of my commute.
You will definitely get a chance to ride the R211Ts on the C lines im telling you.
When I was a kid in NY. Why do these open gangways remind of the old subway cars that had open gangways that headed out to Coney Island then.
Finally the R211Ts start their run on the exact day my favorite anime rhythm game gets released globally! Also did they get rid of “amsterdam avenue” announcement at 163 street station?
I noticed too
Not sure why the lights are constantly green. They are supposed to be constantly red and only turn green when doors are open and people can proceed to enter / exit.
Then turn red again to indicate closing doors.
They seem to pre-indicate what side the doors are opening on. I get the impression that maybe some people didn't like an announcement of what side the doors would open on as the dot matrix screen also silently shows the information.
Nice to see the boot up screens.
If only the new trains were fixed full-length sets instead of two half-length sets combined. That way, it would’ve been possible to walk the entire length.
Damn, just seeing the open gangways twist and turn like that ... doesnt even look real .... we really are living in the future
These train cars are very modern and space age looking. The LED lights and digital screens really make you feel like you are living in the future. It's so cyberpunk, yet other Metro's have had this already. These trains I also feel like it coincides with when humanity starts venturing into low earth 🌎 orbit and perhaps beyond. One of those if not most of those astronauts when visiting New York would ride these very trains... 🌌 🚃
I expected Staten Island to get that model first 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Everytime I see videos like this I can't help but think about what people who don't know a lot about trains / whats going on in the MTA are thinking. Like do they see this and just think its regular? Or do they notice the differences for a few minutes then just go on with their day? I'm just so curious about how they don't get super excited when they see something new 😭😭
seeing the open gangways are so cool but weird. this is 1 clean train! how was the ride? It also got the fast doors!
The C train usually have 8 cars. Now it got 10 cars thanks to the R211s. But there's a catch. I won't run express.
I thought I'd never see this day
Congratulations to New Your citizens, new trains look good.
FINALLY THEIR IN SERVICE!
I've always wondered on articulated buses as well as trains in certain cities whether it would be possible to break your fingers in the accordion if you were intent on it.
I wanna get on it cause I just saw Mta’s notification that it was running
Let’s see if these trains will help stop subway surfing.
Amazing!
Back to the future----1928-BMT Triplex Cars built by Pressed Steel Car Company.
I'm surprised I didn't see the tmnt and master splinter on the train
I would love to ride that train one day.
They're excellent!
Europeans be like 🥱… 😜
and to think, not that long ago we were still riding R32s on the C
