metsfan Posted April 5, 2008 Share #9 Posted April 5, 2008 Yes, i realized that as soon as i hit submit, oh well better to ask then be lost. If i can make that early (NJT) train i'll be onboard for that. With my luck though i'll get the 9:38 and be just in time for the pre-game rush, and all i wanna do is get tickets for the 10th (they finally completely sold out the home opener late thursday)! - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted April 5, 2008 From what ive heard i think the train was moved to corna yard last night. So its gonna be layed up there this WHOLE weekend. Until the mets home opener.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted April 5, 2008 Dont know most likely it will stay at crona yard for the afternoon. Then during the overnight hours it will go back into storage at 207th street yard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share #21 Posted April 12, 2008 Could someone please re-fresh my memory on SMEE's definition. Thanks Paul ( SMEE is a braking system that the R10 though R42 fleets use. The R62/A and the R68/A are SMEE too...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted April 12, 2008 Share #22 Posted April 12, 2008 Could someone please re-fresh my memory on SMEE's definition. Thanks Paul ( As others have said SMEE is the braking system on the R10's through R42's and the R62/A's and R68/A's The big thing about SMEE when it was first introduced with the R10's was that it self laps, so in short form it works a lot like a car brake, the more brake you give it the faster the train stops, the less you give the slower it stops. Arnines and other earlier cars didn't work as "easily" - that AMUE system was an entirely different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
