Anyone have any idea why the 7Ks can't make yard platform stops?

"JDC" In that case, we're making good progress on both the Silver Line phase 1 complement and then hitting 300 cars to replace the entire 1000-series fleet. 128 is the number for both phases of the Silver line. We got that and some, still a long way to go before taking delivery of the all...

Didn't realize around 50% of the 4000 series cars are out of service. What is going on with them? Are they being repaired or are they just waiting to be scrapped after the last 1000 series car leaves the property? There's about 12 or so pairs in "cold storage" status that CMNT has given u...

Do you know how many cars have been delivered so far and if they've finally opened the test track? As of today, 140 cars have been delivered. 102 of those have been accepted and are available for service. Seems unfair that the green line would get the majority of them. Safety and reliability trump ...

Thanks - So they are throwing the car lights c/b for either circuit A or B if I'm recalling my info correct.

Does it really matter which one as I notice the light over the "railfan" seat is always off regardless of sequence of car lights out.

Metro should have over 100 of the 7k cars on the property by now. I see them on a weekly basis on the red line now. And I have yet to see one on the Silver (we don't get any 8-car trains at all). I usually see a motley collection of 6-car trains with bellied 1K cars - the only improvement I see on ...

I would be curious as to where the fire took place and on which track. I have a set of drawing of the area that show the locations of the third rail conduits. CM C2 31+20 "MCL1981" And as per usual, the WMATA PR department blames the fire department for the delays. Every time Metro's equi...

This occurred during single track operations and leads to several questions: > Silver Spring has both front crossovers & rear pocket track, why were trains not crossed over via the front crossover and save the pocket for turning any bunched Silver Spring trains. > When a pocket is used for rever...

"DiscoveryAnalysis" Here's a view of 1088 heading up US-1 on Tues AM in Laurel. Appears that the seats and trucks are going w/ the cars. Am I correct in assuming that Silk Road use MD US-1 all the way to Baltimore? That's the panel where the Metro M logo was, and if I'm correct its tradem...

1088 in Baltimore 6:14 PM 03 08 2016, will likely see her mate 1089 tomorrow night. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sUkERdHql9g/Vt-MLre5vOI/AAAAAAAATcg/RZJcxk5-37M/s600-Ic42/0308161814-01.jpg Here's a view of 1088 heading up US-1 on Tues AM in Laurel.

After 20+ years something I've noticed more & more recently is a series of car lights cycling off only in the lead car on some, actually majority of trains right after being keyed up. I finally remembered to grab a photo - anyone in CMNT might know what this is. (If you want to remain anonymous ...

"Backshophoss" If memory serves;there's 1pair of 1k's used as the "Money Train",keeping 1 other pair of 1k's as the replacement for that pair makes sense. Actually there are 2 pairs that are configured for revenue collection. 1010 - 1011 and 1044 - 1045 are now 8000 - 8003. The ...
