pelhamlocal Posted May 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2011 See that little box inside the end gates. I saw an image of an R68/R68a not sure which on this form. What are those, and why does the 68's need them, since they are fully manned trains?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted May 15, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 15, 2011 Eh, what does that box have to do with the R27 and R68? Please explain yourself more clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R36 Preservation Posted May 16, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2011 That was the automated R22 shuttle train (1959-64), with 3 WE R22s, 7509 7513 & 7516. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted May 16, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 16, 2011 How were the R22s programmed to run ATO anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R36 Preservation Posted May 16, 2011 Share #7 Posted May 16, 2011 Several books will be more detailed, but the ATO system on the R22 trial consisted of wayside signaling, a device (control box) in the cab, and wiring along the track length connected to a master computer in the dispatcher's tower. The cab control box would send analog signals, indicating the distances, speed, length, among other factors. The computer would then control the train speed and stopping distances. Intervals between runs were fixed by the computer. The system was "fail safe"; if one relay or signal failed to work the train would fully stop. After 1964 the R22 shuttle trial would serve as the basis of the technology for the London Victoria Line and PATCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted May 16, 2011 Share #8 Posted May 16, 2011 I hate to sound like a know it all, but that's either an R21 or R22 car. Those distinctive storm doors were found only on those cars. I don't really care about that. I didn't understand his question at all. But thanks anyway for telling it was an R22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
