New F Train!

I was waiting for the F subway at 15th Street/Prospect Park Brooklyn this morning and a brand new train came in!  Apparently they were testing it, it had the automated announcements and everything:

To keep people from boarding, they were opening the doors on the wrong side (I shot this photo through the window on the platform side):

Off it goes!  I hope to see these on the tracks for real very soon!
