Robert Bosco Posted March 11, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2009 I like it...but I still think the 160 is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted March 11, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2009 Hey, thats my video! The PA-5s I think are running under a 30 day test. I honestly think that those PA-5 cars are better than NYC's NTTs. Once you go on a ride in those trains, you'll know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted March 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 11, 2009 They look better than NYC NTTs. The announcements are also clearer and not muffled/too soft. I didn't hear any propulsion though so I can't say if it sounds cool or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted March 11, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 11, 2009 on seeing the other vid from youtube (just type in PATH PA-5), the cars sound like the new MBTA Blue Line cars up in boston (same propulsion provider, but nothing like the R160B-S) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 5278 Posted March 11, 2009 Share #11 Posted March 11, 2009 The bucket seats are indeed very comfortable and convenient for me. However like other Kawasaki trains, the PA-5s are like the R142As, R143s, and R160Bs which are relatively louder than those built by Alstom or Bombardier. Therefore among the NTTs, I prefer the R160As most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave160 Posted March 12, 2009 Share #13 Posted March 12, 2009 Nice Vids Dude. The PA-5's look pretty good. They also have CCTV cameras in those train, I guess for the extra protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you go on a ride in those trains, you'll know why. And not even a thank you to the designers of the NTTs on the NYCTA. If it wasnt for their designs on the R142/R143/R160, you wouldnt have the looks and well, all the technology on those trains. Well, almost all of it.

I wouldnt say that, Boston's Siemens cars & PATH's PA-5s have almost the same design mechanism, different specifics. Their older cars were made by Hawker-Siddley, with almost the same design frame and specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8 Av/Fulton Exp Posted March 13, 2009 Share #16 Posted March 13, 2009 I like it...but I still think the 160 is the best i actually saw one of the new trains pass by as i was in my truck in jersey city near journal square i was on route 1 & 9 truck route when it passed by on the way to Harrison station im glad they kept the same closing door chimes as the current cars unlike the R160's & 142's thats the only drawback i have for the 160's, oh and i notice they have the rail gates on the new paths as well great touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 13, 2009 Share #21 Posted April 13, 2009 I ridden the PA5 and the seats are better than the NYCT NTT hands down! The 5's have 62/68 style bucket seating (but painted blue) I'm a fan of bucket seating so I'm glad path put those type of seats in the PA5. However maybe the train had dead motors or something but it was slower than the older PA1-4 cars! The 142's and 160's would smoke the PA5 in a race 142's and 160's takeoff is far better than the PA5's. seats = PA5 wins Everything else = NYCT NTT wins!

It would be even better if PATH had transversed seating in their trains like the R44s. Unfortunately, the cars are too narrow and cannot fit those. In terms of race, I think that only the R142As, R143, and R160Bs (Siemens) would win the race against the PA-5s. The Alstom Propulsion on the R142s, R160As, and half of the R160Bs have slower accelerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawasaki3 Posted April 13, 2009 Share #23 Posted April 13, 2009 is it PA5 was built by kawasaki. that why it look like the R142A , R160B. look the samething and same model as the R142, R143 , R160B l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, yes, the PA5 is being built by Kawasaki. Supposedly it was modelled off of the R142A. But it looks more like a R160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
