R211 (NYC Subway car) conceptual model

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

The R211 is a New York City Subway car which has not been built or even fully designed at the time of this posting, and so this is my take on what I hope they will look like. The cars are in permanently married 4-car 'ABBA' sets. 'ABBA' denotes the configuration of the cars, indicating that there is one 'A' car or cab car on each end of the set, with two 'B' cars or cabless cars in between. Cars are stainless steel with a blue metal stripe running the length of the car to denote MTA ownership. All cars feature reduced-bucket seats similar to those on the R110B, done in dark blue, with extensive wood paneling on the inside. Lighting on the inside is NTT-style, and the cars are equipped with R160-style interior announcement displays and FINDs. All electronic displays include tricolor LEDs capable of displaying up to 255 colors, and the color used on the front, side, and interior announcement signs is the color of the line on the official MTA subway map. B cars seat 82 people and measure 75' from back wall to back wall, 75' 6' over the overhangs. A cars seat 78, measure 75' from back wall to back wall, 75' 6' over the overhangs, and have full-width cabs with nonpolarized railfan windows. Each cab features two identical consoles, and the cab end of the A car has a black bonnet. All cars feature fully detailed exteriors, cabs, and interiors. #75_footer #mass #mta #new_york #new_york_city #nyc #public #R160 #R179 #R211 #R44 #R46 #subway #subway_car #train #transit
