So the whole construction & updates to the line is an MBTA project, not a Keolis project, I assume since it is huge. Once they are done then they turn it over to Keolis to operate. Correct. It is a MBTA project, Middlesex Corp is doing the physical construction and once completed with PTC, Cabs...

not sure what the obsession is with Kawasaki CCs SS, but as of 2/2: SS 1705, 1709, 1711, 1715 The equipment cycles have no rhyme or reason. The K cars are not getting "removed" from SS, all depends on the rotation of equipment, what gets picked for what. We have not "lost" all 9*...

all respect Mr CRail, but the HSP's MAS is 103 mph I appreciate the respect, but your very own timetable disagrees with you. HSP-46 speeds Lite, Multiple Lite, and With train are 50, 50, and 90 respectively. I have deduced that this is why ACSES displays 90 in the cab on the corridor when MAS for M...

computers my friend, glitches. Works one day, not the next. If it doesn't pass its initial test, its considered failed until repaired or tested again. The 1138 was supped to be the loco for the RDC move last week to Billerica, but failed its test

What is traction interlock? Traction Interlock deals with the door circuit system, connected to applicable coaches that are equipped. TI has nothing to do with the brake system. If an exterior door is not completely closed, tractive effort is severed and engineer can not take power. It has been bro...

From a reliable source just last week, 904 was to be fixed up and outfitted with cab signals. Although plans do seem to change on a nearly daily basis....

NETransit updated yesterday. 1138 is now assigned North. I'm not sure if its still on the switcher (but would just be based out of BET now), or if its being moved onto a revenue consist, but I'm hoping for the latter. Maybe we'll get one of those doubleheaders for a bit like they do with the 3C reb...

CSRR, that's an Amtrak employee timetable, not a NORAC rulebook. OK fine if we're splitting hairs, those pages are located in the System Special Instructions in my NORAC rule book. Mr White is correct. 2 different documents. It is not splitting hairs all respect Mr CRail, but the HSP's MAS is 103 m...

Was the Providence Line (Amtrak Shore Line) shut down during the day on Dec 18 due to trees/wires down somewhere between Route 128 and Providence? Thanks Andy The Mainline was single track between LAWN and MANSFIELD. The call was finally made to have all overhead power shut down due to the many tre...

subject to change, but there have been several references to the new INT at Norfolk will be called "WALSH"

the 1128 isn't being done at BET....was sent down on a Middleboro Extra 12/14 along with the 2011. There was a note stating that the 1128 is "going off property" so quite possible heading out on CSX. A note like that usually doesn't accompany units going down to MC at Area 52. The 1138 cam...

cc/1851- cc/1848- 865- 870 (Batch #11) made it up to Readville over the weekend, and with the 1851 leading East, have begun high speed testing, ACSES/ATC testing
