LIRR fleet ownership as of 10/30/2004 (per LIRR Intranet):
M7 = 318
M3 = 172
M1 = 478
DE30 = 23
DM30 = 23
C3 = 134
I think the M7s are currently arriving a little out of numerical sequence because of further modification. All the tread brake unit shoes are being replaced with a different brake shoe, and the inverter settings are being changed for dynamic brake/friction brake blending. (Don't ask )
M3 current overhaul phase update:
As of 10/13/04 all but 14 pair have been outfitted with converter/inverters to replace Motor Alternators, and all but 20 pair have had Microcab ATC system retrofit completed.
Updated list of legacy cars spotted with blue side stripes:
9547/548
9609/610
9611/612
9627/628
9629/630
9637/638
9655/656
9659/660
9711/712
9791/792
9803/804
9839/840
9869/870
9915/916
9933/934
There may be others.
