Here are some things that I have been noticing that are new around the system
1- The R160's are being retrofitted with digital ad signs and access points in all the cars They are installing the acess points in the door pockets on the number 2 end of the car The digital signs are going where the artwork sign was
2- These things started popping up on the Brighton line a few months ago Still dont know what they are but they were installed with an antenna that looked like a coffee cup lid. Now they are going back to some of them and installing larger pole antenna's Tey are marked with the letters CP and a number They are about every 600-1000 feet along the right of way
3- If you didn't see this on the Second ave subway thread this is the new style track It has rubber plates under the concrete ties for sound deadening There are also cylindrical troughs for drainage that prevent the buildup of garbage and muck
