The only cab that will be locked is the back and the front cabs. The ones in the middle of the train are locked in the SIGNLE cab position that allows passengers to walk through withought seeing the actual controls, just like the way M7s are.

It was on the 4:17 out of 125th street today making stops at: GCT Harlem 125th Greenwhich Stamford and all other stops to New Haven
-
Still doesn't count. Its a TEST train which is used to dictate the final order
-
It's nothing special. The M9s are suppose to be newer M7s. They will have the exact same look and feel just with minor improvements. If everything goes accordingly, there will be 84 cars ordered by LIRR only. They will be used for the new East Side Access when it is completed. http://www.mta.info/mta/budget/july2009/july09_vol2part3.pdf

The M6s aren't being retired, Just the M2s. The M2s, as you can see, are not functioning well because of their age.
-
The M8s need to hurry up because the M2s are f***ing up! http://http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/traffic/mta/metro-north-train-travels-with-door-open-20110125

They are using catenary all the way. The M8s do not have two different third rail shoes. When in catenary territory they will retract so that they don't damage LIRRs third rail.
-
MNRR's third rail is very different from LIRR's third rail. LIRR's pick up is from the top (like the subways) and MNRR's us from the bottom. That's why the M8s have a retracting third rail shoe or else they would destroy LIRRs's third rail
-
NJT does not use third rail. And the M8s cannot run on LIRR's third rail. If it runs to Penn it will use catenary for power.
-
This isn't the subways. In the Railroad, everything's possible!
-
Its quieter though.

From a fellow fanner who caught them on the New Cannan! This video clears up the Propulsion Debate!
-
Here's some video of its first run caught by a fellow fanner!!

That's cool. You guys have done enough for me at the moment :tup:
-
It's perfectly fine. I'm patient with things like these as I know they take time and you guys have a life outside of doing this. What you guys do is great and I appreciate it. The buses look awesome and keep up the great work! :tup:
-
Awesome thank you guys for all you do. I don't mind the wait because it's a great free service. Don't press them guys!
-
My friend took this before I left. I was suppose to stay with them but I had to leave. I spoke with him and he said it sounded the same.
-
It has the same specs as the M7-A with the exception of the extra parts it needs to receive catenary power
-
I predict the M8s will get wheel flats while testing this fall, and maybe causing it to take longer. Everyone knows that fall is wheel flat season!
-
Yeah you can -
Ok done.
-
Oh so you are waiting for me to PM you my order or are you waiting for someone else to PM you my buses? Sorry that I'm confused.
-
Was the PM sent yet or no? Just curious
-
These are amazing! Thank you:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup:
