Trainset 2 has reached 165 mph on the NEC as of 1:39 am, 12/24/20.

Finally, some daylight testing!

More testing tonight.

KP2021 testing on the night of 9/4/20 between Holmes and Grundy:

Trainset 2 testing between Jersey Avenue and Holmesburg Junction last week. In response to both parties sucking and neither being better than the other, I would only have to agree on matters of infrastructure and the likes. From a social & health perspective, looking at what's going on in the country right now, it's CLEAR AS DAY that one side is objectively better that the other.

KP2021 over the course of several nights and at multiple locations:

Anyone know exactly how many cars are being brought back from mothball? Is it all of them or just a portion?

I don't see why that couldn't happen. But with everything being as unpredictable as it is right now, I wouldn't hold my breath,

R32s are retired as of the new B division assignment effective 4/27/20.

You're not going to get one considering that this an internal software adjustment on performance in the upper limits of the speed range. Having observed NTT train performance over the years, I can say that each NTT when new were hitting higher top speeds over the same sections of track, consistently 5-8 mph higher. The new tech stuff all came out of factory with 55 mph as the balancing speed on level track. Nothing does much better than 45-50 after a while. Same concept as removing field shunts from the DC equipment.

I've seen 67 on a siemens 160 manhattan-bound. Long time ago before they dialed back performance.

My coverage of the R42 farewell train today:

The ERA is not NYCT proper.

The official bulletin order and updated b division sheet says otherwise, but ok lol.🤷‍♀️

Irrelevant considering this is the new assignment.
