  • READ:
    This is likely the only period of time in the lives of these new railcars that we will see them in a train longer than the regular 12 cars on the LIRR. Clips shot at Lynbrook & Valley Stream. Enjoy =)

    Traction sounds very typical for Japanese cars (especially those in japan). These look like they will be some very nice vehicles.

      Some trains in Japan use Mitsubishi motors. Ever since the M7s were placed into service, so have we.

      kinda sounds like JR West 223 series traction motors.

    Mismatched set 9011-9014 on the rear there. That seems to happen a lot when new equipment is coming in and pairs are needed for testing purposes... it happened with SEPTA when the M4 el cars were new... the first 8 cars all came mismatched, but were paired with their proper mates later after more cars were delivered.

    I think the livery for the metro north m9s will be similar to their Long Island siblings but with metro north railroad written with the mat circle logo and without the yellow accents.

    • @BenTheMiner
      @BenTheMiner 5 лет назад +3

      That's because it's a camera and it's catching the very quick blinking on LED signs. Our eyes can't catch that.

  • @JeffFrmJoisey
    @JeffFrmJoisey 5 лет назад +2

    Nice! What are the LEDs over the cab windows? Marker lights or destination signs? Will safety striping on the car ends be added? With the "Cuomo Color" scheme, they look like some subway cars!

  • @GLee-oe3op
    @GLee-oe3op 5 лет назад +2

    Just a little accuracy comment, technically Valley Stream is on the West Hempstead and Far Rockaway branches, not the Babylon branch since most trains to and from Babylon don’t stop there

    • @lirrenthusiast5948
      @lirrenthusiast5948 5 лет назад

      Valley stream is for the Long Beach branch and the far Rockaway branch. The train stopped there because it was going to Babylon so technically you are right in a way but also no.

    Except for the blue diagonal stripes, they still insist on mostly stainless steel color, already very water stained and dripped off protruding surfaces. By the time they finish testing they will be outdated..

    Did the train open it’s doors? Because at the start they announced the train arrival and the sign said Babylon.

    • @sonicboy678
      @sonicboy678 5 лет назад +1

      In all likelihood, its doors were opened on the opposite side. When conducting non-revenue stop testing, that tends to happen.
