NYC Subway HD: R188 Emergency Brake Testing On The 2 Line

An 11 car set of R188’s were recently transferred to the Bronx for a day to conduct a series of emergency brake tests along the white plains road line. It’s pretty uncommon to see R188’s up here. Enjoy!

I thought that test brake emergency test break was good but that turn on 219th Street look painful

Hey, Can you link me to the WMATA Mod? I wanted to play on it for myself, Just send me a download link or something. Thanks!

What’s the difference between an r142a and r188 and why don’t they just put these on the 2/5 and 4 instead of r142s

[@justin483211]

The R188's were specifically made for the 7 line with CBTC modifications. The R142A and R188's are essentially the same minus the CBTC additions. The R142's are from Bombardier, and have some minor exterior and interior differences from the R142A's.

[@6secsofcj37]

Miles2696 I had to look up CBTC to fully understand it. You think in the future that the all the lines will get CBTC? I should be a necessity

[@TheRailLeaguer]

A. Person The next line up for CBTC is the Queens Blvd CBTC, IRT Lexington Avenue, IND Eighth Avenue, and IND Crosstown, plus one other line (my memory is a bit fuzzy on that)

[@CholaHelloKitty]

7591-7810 are r142as
7211-7590 are r188s

[@kevinpatino8708]

How’s that impossible to take R 188 which is the 7 train to the route on 2? There’s no way to change tracks to the route 7 to match up the 2 route Bronx but that’s very odd

Kevin Patino Check this video out of how they get trains between the Flushing Line and the rest of the IRT:

@@TheRailLeaguer bruh I got a question how is that they had r142a then change it to the r188 didn't they had 10 cars so wouldn't r188 have 10 cars as well like the r62a when the want to the 6 line

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@jimmyjj9410 An extra R188 car was inserted into one of the 5-car sets.
