Maserati7200 Posted January 6, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 6, 2009 What in f*cks name is going on here? It's on the wrong track! That should mess up service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks Guys! And i dunno why it was on the Manhattan Bound Tracks, it was liek 1am, which service is limited. I guess they didnt want passangers for NB thinking the train was in service. And i bet those T/Os got pissed when i took a shot lol, oh well =]~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted January 6, 2009 Great video and interesting RedBirds on the wrong track, seems to be like the NYC Subway becoming a Chinese Commuter Rail system! haha more like the Tube in UK btw thxx @R421969- Ya the smell of garbage with rats dancing, at 149th street. No i didnt smell the Redbird, but when i saw them i felt like a little boy Thanks btw PS why would a train smell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R421969 Posted January 6, 2009 Share #13 Posted January 6, 2009 answer to mark :well see I remember I was at west 4th Street many weeks ago and I saw this redbird garbage train with an R33 WF-flatcar-R38 combination and I was screaming naturally lol cause I saw the R33 from the front so I thought it was in service i was dreaming anyway lol I noticed it had a smell to it...sorta like an old instrument does after its rusted and oiled up after many years...kinda like...machine oil or something, but it had a scent 2 it...like an old car or something...and then a few days later i was on the R1-R9 nostalgia train and it had the same smell to it! so i wondered if all the carbon-steel trains smelled like that or the old trains all smelled like that cause the nost. train and redbirds smelled alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted January 7, 2009 Share #14 Posted January 7, 2009 Great video! Great video and interesting RedBirds on the wrong track, seems to be like the NYC Subway becoming a Chinese Commuter Rail system! With the directionality and the type of cars... this is very close to the London Underground. Especially of the sub-surface lines. This video kind of gives me back memories of Hong Kong due to the directionality. I really wonder how that train got past the signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted January 7, 2009 Share #15 Posted January 7, 2009 Well I think dispatch flips the signals on the bidirectional tracks so that whatever train has the right of way can continue, and then switch out to the other track. It's like the express track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbadexpress Posted January 7, 2009 Share #16 Posted January 7, 2009 wonderful clip. I wonder if I could ever get a real ride on redbirds-so curious about these cute trains that served prior to R62As. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share #18 Posted January 8, 2009 BTW those arent WF R-33s. they are not the same tho.. But thx The rest thanks! @MTR Admiralty- They can do that, when trains go on the oppsit track, there are a few signals Same for for middle track, /<6> for example they run express on M track and there are signals for both directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T J Trainman Posted January 8, 2009 Share #20 Posted January 8, 2009 A friend of mine infomed me last night that the very same train was seen at 239 st with an R-127. It was seen again with 1 different R-127 at 207 st yard. Really weird. Basically the train went from Unionport to 207th st. Via 239st yard and return back to unionport yard.
