UPDATED MEDIA ADVISORY: MTA to Unveil New Subway Car Fleet

Updated Directions for Media Attending

MTA leaders will literally unwrap the first cars of the never-before-seen R211 subway fleet before the cars take their historic first trip on New York City Transit tracks. 

Media will have an opportunity to record the unwrapping as well as the start of the first R211 trip in NYC.

WHEN: 

TODAY, July 1 – 11:00 a.m.

WHERE:

39th Street and 2nd Avenue
BROOKLYN

Media attending the event should follow the long cobblestone road toward the water. A security booth will be located on the right toward the end of the road. Please provide security with your media credentials.

Those coming from the BQE should get off at 39th St exit follow exit ramp all the way down and make a quick right at 2nd Avenue (which is at the light down the ramp when you exit). Then make a quick left into the open gate - right across from Costco. There will be a NYC Transit truck at the gate to escort media in.
