Kamen Rider Posted May 27, 2023 Share #5076 Posted May 27, 2023 Okay, so… actually, there may be some information. there was recently a reminder issued to train crews that NTTs have a function that if the train takes power but not enough to start moving, if the train doesn’t move within a certain amount of time, it goes into a self protection mode to avoid damaging its motors. when the train goes into this protection mode, the train crew can not release it. Car equipment has to come and reset it. let’s say you’re in a station on a grade… like Dyckman… you put the master controller into one point of power. Motors begin to try to turn, but the weight of the train, combined with the grade, means it won’t budge. That, theoretically, might have had something to do with what happened to the 211 pilot. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we are busy with either work or school. Be patient. Mhm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggymetro28 Posted May 28, 2023 Share #5082 Posted May 28, 2023 What about the R211S 5-car pilot train (100-104)? Aren't there any updates with those? When are they going to start testing (not the 30 day test)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted May 28, 2023 Share #5083 Posted May 28, 2023 They probably got distracted fixing the A’s propulsion lock out, pushing back the timeline slightly. I really need to remind you folks that the status of all the these cars is at the whim the Division of Car Equipment, and for the most part, all the transit employees who post here who work in Department of Subways are RTO personnel, not always privy to the goings on in DCE. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All people did was ask a couple of questions in response to your posts, and you got all in your feelings. It really wasn't that deep. Every new railcar has early issues, and they all eventually get their issues fixed. The same will happen with the R211s. It's not that big of a deal. - Yes I know this is a late post.

I'm just wondering when the second half of the soft shell trainset will arrive. I previously thought that the whole train was already here, but it turns out that wasn't the case. It was said to be arriving by the end of this month, but it's already the last few days of the month. Hopefully it comes within the next month, but knowing how everything keeps getting pushed back we'll be lucky if that actually happens.

I hope that next month will be the R211T 4055-4059 delivery, as well as R211As 4090-4094 and 4095-4095 deliveries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if cars in the 4100 series’s up until 4150 are already ready for delivery 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of technical information is public records anyway. I’m not sitting on a nuclear football, here. I’m not telling them how to access restricted areas. I’m not sharing every single detail.

Kamen Rider Posted May 30, 2023 Share #5095 Posted May 30, 2023 I do not “have the least amount of time”, thank you very much. An no one else has seen fit to complain about it. so what is it? Ageism? Queerphobia? Why target me compared to anyone else who willing shares information that is already technically public record? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted May 30, 2023 Share #5097 Posted May 30, 2023 I mean, at least two other employees/former employees saw my post earlier and had no problem with me explaining it because, if you read it, I didn’t go into full technical details… I just gave broad strokes. the idea of “If the train doesn’t move after a certain amount of time, it locks up so you don’t break it” is not sensitive information we have to worry about. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second soft shell set is most likely delayed due to the supply chain shortages. That is what has delayed the entire order in the first place, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is the reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
