Queens Surface Posted January 27, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2012 Always wondered how do they remove a truck from a subway car in the shop, do they just lift the car up and out it goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted January 27, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2012 At 207 Street Yard - they lift up one end of a subway car at a time and put it on a yellow stand. Once the entire subway car is separated from the truck, they move the truck out a little bit, hook it up to a crane and away it goes.

Dan05979 Posted January 28, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 28, 2012 Always wondered how do they remove a truck from a subway car in the shop, do they just lift the car up and out it goes? After they remove all the air lines and electrical and any hand brake linkages, they lift up and out they go. the weight of the car keeps them together.
