Recommended Posts

Finally, some more subway action! Divided into 2 or 3 parts, given the restricted number of photos allowed per post...

 

My home station:

Went to a disused portion and found a nice surprise... this subway line no longer has 10 cars:

Another station with some train action! This car was salvaged from retirement and incorporated into a newer train:

That is interesting how one of the older cars goes into a new consist... I'm guessing that was because of a car mishap?

Nice pics.

 

The older cars were deemed usable after their maximum lifespan (25 years), and since they have no motors, they can simply be refurbished and incorporated into a new train.

 

Thanks!

Nice photos but I would not call a surface line with level crossing, a subway. It is more like a urban or suburban rail line for me.

I know I have a strict definition of subway (mostly underground or with a large underground part and highly segregated).  :lol:

Well I'm all ears on this one as I am not 100% familiar with this transit system, but for one thing, these pics are mean! Just by the pics alone shows this transit system is hardcore in terms of the tech invested into the network, stations and rolling stock. 

 

+1 mtattrain!
