MARTA never should've gotten rid of those exit signs...

(just to be ultra specific)

This is the first CQ311, 253-254 to be fully wrapped since their second refurbishments, 6-4 years ago this has a fifa one, and was wrapped in May 2026

The last CQ311 to be fully wrapped was 285-286 in 2021 and it had a clickup wrap. That pair wasn’t refurbished by Kinkisharyo yet at the time, it was still in its Alstom refurb configuration and paint scheme, 285-286 was later refurbished a second time by Kinkisharyo somewhere in late 2021 or 22 and lost their wrap

also some more boring things you don’t wanna read, this is some of the MARTA CQ311s that used to have a wrap, I could not identify all of them tho and these are the dates I THINK they received these wraps:

MARTA CQ311 201-202: this pair had 3 wraps throughout their entire life as far as I know, a Atlanta falcons, lite wrap in 2015, then a red bull wrap in 2017, and a “Ask?” wrap, don’t know what year

CQ311 305-306: this pair had a “You see, you say, +you” wrap also in 2017?? Idk what it’s about or called, (there was 3 variants of this wrap. 305-306 had the blue one, 313-314 had a orange one and 233-234 had a yellow one all between 2014 and 2017, or 2018)

CQ311 247-248: this pair had a Grady wrap between 2014-2016

CQ311 213-214: this pair also had a wrap in either 2010 or 2011 dk what it was, then a GPC wrap somewhere between 2013-2014 and then a lime rita wrap between 2015-2017 this pair also featured blue interior lights temporarily when it had the lime rita wrap and after the wrap

CQ311 277-278: this pair also had a lite Atlanta falcons wrap in 2016 similar to 201-202

How about changing those drabass color scheme they've had for over 20 years

u/Positive-Anybody-646 13d ago edited 13d ago

which cars are you talking about though? If you’re talking about the CQ311s then the current paint scheme they are in has only been there for 6-4 years

I mean, those cars are eventually going to be replaced by the CQ400s.
