Saw this on FB.

Does anyone know the official numbers and their model year (or year built) of the new M8? Looking at the TTMG Insider Guide roster , it seems that 9422-9443 and 9701-9738 are the 60 new units, but I need confirmation. Last I checked, that 60 matches with what Metro-North optioned some years back. Al...

Re: Acela II (Avelia Liberty): Design, Production, Delivery, Acceptance

It’s a very curious design choice, because many of the “normals” aren’t going to care what the car number is, and the passengers who do will stop caring once they know which car their seat(s) are in. I don’t mind their size but they are so incredibly prominent… I prefer these huge numbers; much eas...

So you posted the same information I just did, but by copy and pasting, word for word, the press release in a separate thread? ......Or maybe, just maybe, your thread hadn't been posted when I was busy copying, pasting, and formatting the press release; otherwise I wouldn't have posted the same inf...

The big mystery is why that track was built in the first place as it opened alongside Church Avenue, which was built as an actual terminal. IND trains on the Fulton line originally terminated at Rockaway Avenue, a local station not designed as a terminal, and not Broadway Junction because of WWII sh...

The third rail shoes on the M8s are designed to accommodate both MNR-style and LIRR-style third rail. They're more or less spring loaded and can bend up or down to accommodate the under-running and over-running. So theoretically if a single track had MNRR third rail immediately followed by LIRR thi...

Does anyone know the identity of the Pigeon Key train? I have been looking online for a while. I did see something that it might have been a Florida East Coast Railway coach, so I figured I would post it here. The closest I have gotten is this information on Railway Preservation News: http://www.ryp...

What Lagos is building is......kinda confusing. The Lagos Rail Mass Transit is often described as light-rail, when clearly the trains are NOT light-rail, but heavy rail. No LRV or trolleys here. Lagos has already ordered metro (subway style) 4-car trainsets from CRRC Dalian, and before that, they ha...
