You can clearly hear both propulsions are powered in the married pair, so it's not being towed...

Nice to see that the M9's can operate in union with the M7 sets, I doubt that will EVER happen in revenue service, but its good to know that they're capable of operating together.

Ran into someone on the M9 program today, says they wont be in service until January or February at least.

LMAO did I make it look like I was insecure? I'm not gonna sit by as a Long Islander and let someone step all over us, everyone is a douchebag in the state, not just us.

The stupidity in this statement, "the likes of Sean Hannity and Anthony Scaramucci". Travel anywhere outside of NYC and you'll see the same type of people. You're describing 60% of Americans right there my friend. Keep politics out of it. Everyone in New York is a douchebag, not just people from Long Island. Don't start talking like you're "superior"

Why is the NEC AC then? Just the way it was from the start?

So basically, in the case of the M7 and M9, 750V DC power is sent to an inverter which converts it to AC use for a motor? Which creates the noises heard? M8 being different, AC - DC - AC?

Yep, M7-M9 all use Mitsubishi, its easier to swap parts that way. I believe everything is the same just the inverters are tuned differently on each unit.

I was literally just about to, I'm VERY disappointed with the propulsion. It's so bland.

Then again, in Britain, they have lots of government support, on their "Federal" level. They also have a lot fewer regulations when it comes to finding contractors e.t.c., and their construction process takes much less time.

I am 2 miles from the ronkonkoma yard, I'll go check it out and see if I can see anything

Credit to the video poster, here's another move of the M9's in Fresh Pond.

I wasn't aware of that, but arent there 8-10 cars in NY at Fresh Pond/Hillside already?
