lilbluefoxie Posted May 20, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2010 I was lucky to catch an M3 on my way home today, and got in the first car. **Bonus Shots** Professional LIRR seat repair job So long M-3 chances are I may not see you again for a long time.

skidork Posted May 25, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 25, 2010 Can I ask why M3's rock? From a passenger perspective they suck. Seats are too low, you can't put your head back. Bathrooms are nasty and small. Brakes STINK. Ride OK but not as nice as M7. A/C oftern broken. Maybe the only thing better is the fact that the doors open equitably.

Matt91 Posted May 25, 2010 Share #11 Posted May 25, 2010 Nice shots. While I'm not a foamer, I usually try to get a RFW seat because the ride is always intersting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share #15 Posted May 27, 2010 Those bathrooms can stink up a whole car. No different than the M-7s I once got in one that stunk terrible cuz of the bathroom, I should have suspected something was up on a train where everyone is standing and here is this one car with all seats open.

Rutgers Tube Posted May 28, 2010 Share #17 Posted May 28, 2010 Can I ask why M3's rock? From a passenger perspective they suck. Brakes STINK. Brakes generally smell of that strong acrid odor if the engineer made a very aggressive stop, or just because the M3's are old cars - or both. M3 equipment as two forms of brakes: dynamics and friction. When the engineer applies the brakes, those two types are designed to work together, Braking applications will rely primarily on the dynamics to provide the initial slowing, with friction blending in with the dynamic brakes . However, the dynamics have been known to fail on much of the older equipment, causing braking applications to be reliant solely on the friction brakes. Coming to a stop burns up the pads, and you get that foul smell at the stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstar1 Posted June 10, 2010 Share #19 Posted June 10, 2010 M7-when someone goes into the bathrooms, they get stuck because they can't figure out how to open the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
