    As to what’s going on in the Subway today, the R211’s need camera’s for conductor’s to prevent them from sticking their head out the window to be assaulted and keep watch of passengers of being dragged if a station is curved as the train leaves the station. They should have an on board monitor.

    • @Lodai974
      @Lodai974 Год назад +1

      From what I can see on Maps, the Kawasaki factories in Lincoln don't have a loop track to test the machines, so the tests have to be done on the MTA network, and that's long.
      In the factory, only tests that do not require a fast moving train can be done (there is a track long enough for a test at 30kph but not for a long time).
      In Europe Alstom and Siemens main factories have a test loop (usually 2, a large one, and a smaller one to test tight bends). This makes it possible to test the trains in the factory, and in the event of a problem, the factory is right next to it...
      In addition there is a large test loop at Velim in the Czech Republic, so large that a village is inside. Most new equipment capable of over 130kph will be tested there.
