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?
-
Anyone have updates?
-
They're here.
-
Yes

New M9 pics from TTCI in Colorado
-
I thought the M9's were being built and assembled in Lincoln, NE. Not Yonkers.
-
So in other words it would now appear MNRR is not getting M9's? I have a feeling the reason they decided not to go for an MNRR order is because Cuomo wanted them "cuomoed", and I doubt Connecticut would want that on trains running in their state.
-
The difference is not "2 million". This sourced document says otherwise http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Documents/Ridership/2016-q4-ridership-APTA.pdf
-
Thats the only thing I'm saying. The M9 was designed with a shoe specifically for the LIRR, it doesnt have the dual shoe like the M8. Unless the MTA is proposing another design for the M9 for MNRR I don't believe that MNRR is going to get M9's at all The ridership difference is almost 20 million more passengers per year difference between MNRR and LIRR. LIRR needs new units more desperately.
-
Please stop saying MNRR is getting M9A's. M9A's do not refer to the variant that Metro North would get. M9A's are M9's that are federally funded, which are identical to the M9's. The LIRR has both M9's and M9A's.

Lol just wondering why you included Suffolk County in there? Hudson Line doesn't even come close to Suffolk County, its way out east on Long Island, and the taxes are ridiculous in the first place.
