OverlyObsessed

any idea as to the route the Low V's will take to get to the lexington ave line, i remember eariler this year they were spotted on the 1 line downtown.

Direct from the Transit Webpage

"We're offering the perfect way to get into the spirit of Bronx Bombers post-season play – a ride to Yankee Stadium aboard our 1917 IRT Lo-V train. If baseball fans swipe their MetroCard right on March 28th, they’ll ride to the stadium in subway-style on our vintage train. The Nostalgia Train, originally operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) system, began service in 1917. The vintage train cars and hundreds of other similar cars served subway customers a few years before the first pitch was thrown at the original Yankee Stadium. With rattan seats, ceiling fans and drop sash windows, the train harkens back to an earlier age of subway travel, and provides a photogenic counterpoint to the new home of the New York Yankees."

Would it be feasible for one of those Trolley Museum's in New England to save two R110 A cars and have them be operational? Those various museums each have AMUE and SMEE cars I was just wondering if they by chance they got their hands on two R110 A cars could they be operational with the limited resources they have. 

 

 

I have been wondering this for a while now....

possible, they would have to rework the car to recive elctrecity from the cantenary, like the r33 Redbirds they have there, but I don't see why they couldn't.

M9's are making there way Eastbound on the Mainline from Hillside, leaving now (2:05pm) 

I just passed by a M7 with graffiti on it at Hillside support facility, can someone snap a pic?

I looked on the Transit museum's website and the section for Nostalgia Rides is empty, can we expect any trips before the Met's and Yankee's opening days?

What if they ran the Second Train on the I.R.T? Maybe the TOMC on the 7th ave line, like they did in 2004?

Uptown  trains will not be stopping on the local platform at 59th Street, and will be skipping 51st St due to unknown reasons.

What are the new test schedules for the M9's?

Great, Channel 11 News reported on the vintage train ride this week, expect more normies this Sunday and upcoming dates.

Does anyone know if the M9's are still doing Midday testing?

Yeah, I just saw them the other day, i'm pretty sure it's the same route as the nightime testing was.

Does anybody where the M9 Bumblebees are? Last time I heard of them they were still in Yonkers about a month ago.

Notice: possible move of M9's to undisclosed location to due the M9's being spotted at Hillside being sandwiched with M7's as seen in the previous move to Babylon. If any railfans are out and about at night, hang around Hillside and see if a move will occur.

What time is the train at Kew Gardens?

Probably around 10:05 - 10:15 (just to be safe)

In case anybody in these forums were wondering, the test schedules for the LIRR M9's are as follows:

The M9's leave Hillside Support Facility at 10:00pm and depart to Jamaica

The M9's arrive at Jamcia (Track 5) at 10:02pm and remain stationary until a clear track on the main line (Woodside - Jamaica) is available

The train will then stop at Signal Bridge 30 and will uncouple 2 pairs of EMUs

Single pair test trains will commence from Woodside to Kew Gardens

Keep in mind this schedule is prone to change due to anything from derailments, faulty signals, weather, or late trains.

There were reports that the AB Standards & D-Type 6112 had problems @ The Parade of Trains. Anybody have more information ? Thanks in advance.

Yes, they were brought in between NY Aquarium and Brighton Beach, I talked to some of the transit workers and they said the brakes were screwed up, but they’re fine, they ran a couple of days ago.

Are there supposed to be any moves or tests for the M9’s on the weekend?

This is going to be my first year on the Parade of Trains

You should enjoy it! i've been there for 3 years and it's great!

No, it looked more like the MNRR M3, except no diagonal white stripes and no logo. and it covered the ENTIRE front, from the top to bottom, left to the right. It was in Hillside Support Facility.
