Around the Horn Posted April 24, 2017 Share #3652 Posted April 24, 2017 Is it going to be on the whole line? Or just at a certain station? My random guess would be Kings Highway to Brighton Beach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 24, 2017 Share #3655 Posted April 24, 2017 Next weekend the 179s will be testing in a easy to get to location and on a weekend!?! I expect a lot of railfans will turnout for this like they do for museum train runs... I'm guessing the tests they are doing on the Brighton Express tracks were the same tests they did with the previous NTT fleets on sea beach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Railer Posted April 25, 2017 Share #3660 Posted April 25, 2017 What is EMI testing? Is that like emergency brake testing or something like that? Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk EMI = Electro-Magnetic Interference. The AC propulsion system emits a magnetic field which can disrupt certain electronics close enough to the trackside. They need to test the level of interference to make sure it is within tolerable limits and not overtly disruptive.

Fan Railer Posted April 25, 2017 Share #3666 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) It is now 18, damn that is some real hate. To be honest, I find it quite amusing lol. Makes me sort of want to upload a troll video of the first revenue service action and title it "angry reacts only" lmfao.

CarInspector 848 Posted April 26, 2017 Share #3669 Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Yeah they were gonna have those cars out this weekend to do the EMI testing, but that is canceled from what I heard. Bombardier isn't ready yet. So no R179 test this weekend, sorry guys. You'll have to do something else on ur saturdays! Also the TSS that usually has that train told me last week that he's being stalked by buffs. Told me one guy in particular has really been following his train around since october, crazy man. give him a break!

Thats funny because the other day i was in the crew room at euclid and one of the R179 qualified guys was complaining about some guy who follows the test train around every day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted April 27, 2017 Share #3671 Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Wait. I thought it was now against MTA rules to listen into any radio channel that the MTA owns... Edited April 27, 2017 by Lawrence St 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted April 27, 2017 Share #3672 Posted April 27, 2017 Wait. I thought it was now against MTA rules to listen into any radio channel that the MTA owns... That must have been recent as just last year it was legal to listen with headphones, but illegal to divulge any information from that channel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted April 28, 2017 Share #3674 Posted April 28, 2017 In an effort to get things back on track, I have removed the posts that were cultivated from what I started and I'm owning up to my actions. I shouldn't have let my peeves get in the way of my actions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted April 28, 2017 Share #3675 Posted April 28, 2017 Now, getting back on topic,does the EMI testing being postponed mean that they'll try again next weekend or is the train just not ready to start this phase of testing yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
