It was in the news in Japan that there was a problem with a Kawasaki Heavy Industries vehicle. I remember being surprised by this news, as Kawasaki is a company that produces well.
These particular trains derailed last month in October, so Metro has taken them out of service for the time being for investigations. As I know, it was issues with the wheel placement that had been in effect since 2017. Other than that, they have been the most reliable car series in the Metro fleet to date.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions So it's a matter of wheel placement. The force on the track may be a little different from that of Japanese railroads. Thank you very much for your reply！
@@tachunel As far as I know, it has nothing to do with the force of the track (although yes, the track width or gauge is wider than the typical track gauge in Japan, which is 1,067mm), but rather with the fact that some defects were found in the wheel assembly, which were axles being out of alignment, and brake parts having fallen off, as found during inspections. And of course!
They were in service since 2015. Part of the difference in propulsion sound is the track noise. These railcars had this same propulsion ever since they were delivered.

Great they kinda have a new propulsion

I caught one at the L'Enfant Plaza (OR) (BL) (SV) platform.
So I guess Metro is testing them there too? Next time, I'd definitely lookout for one!
