Do the Late night Q train from Coney Island to 96th st 2 av

[@realAutoman]

does the F not run express at night anymore?

[@Bklynkid52]

As of this upload, no. It’s due to CBTC work and storing trains on the express tracks overnight while the work takes place.

R​​​211 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, from my understanding are going to the G line meanwhile while East New York J/Z, L and M has more than Enough trains to cover service therefore East New York won't get new cars until the 2040's
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, 32 R211's
J/Z: 188 R179's, 40 R160A-1's
L: 212 R143's, 64 R160A-1's
M: 268 R160A-1'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.
With these assignments the E and F can be 100% R211's Since Queens Boulevard has a high volume of traffic and with 660 R160's at Jamaica Yard we can extend G Trains to full length 10-cars it makes no sense to assign high capacity cars with low volume ridership like 6th avenue and Broadway since those lines have a lower volume Ridership with that R160's can return to Coney Island for B service plus with a small amount of 40 R160's go to the N, Q and W During weekends when the B isn't Running plus there is a chance that the 2nd Option Order of 437 cars in total can be all R211T Open Gangway if the 20 R211T pilot trains are successful the R211 terms of design are wider doors + more capacity = Reducing Dwell times So the R211's are ideal for lines with the highest ridership like Queens Boulevard and the 8th avenue line fit the criteria.

send that to a r211 video so people can see it
