My opinion on the look of the M9 cars both pros and cons. 4.) Propulsion and air brake sound. 5.) ...and that car #9002 wasn't the head car for the first revenue run. why are these cons? The M1's and M3's had the same droning noise, same blueprint, and were compatible. As for those horns, it didn't...

Thanks guys. That page in the link says that M-3's and M-7's have the same model horns. That's hard to believe since they never sounded alike, even before the M-7's had the muffling devices installed. Is it possible for the same horns to sound different on different model cars? Absolutely! It all d...

Anyone else notice how the horn is set up? Gone is the 5-chime K horn; replaced with two single K bells on either side of the windshield. These things are going to sound weird.

14-car M9 test train on the Babylon Branch today. Only slightly bummed I didn't catch it at New York Penn since it came in and turned around on Track 11.

There could be more wiggle room if the fuel tank is reduced from 5000 gals down to 1500 or 2000 (the F40PH's came with a 1500 capacity). A 3,000 gal fuel reduction should take off around 18,000 lbs, plus the steel is probably another 2,000 lbs. Even if you reduced the fuel tank size, you're pretty ...

I think people are also forgetting that most SD70MACs have an as-built weight of 415,000 lbs. Assuming an upper limit of 432,000 lbs, that doe...
