Re: R44 5240 - New York Transit Museum 9/21/13

Posted by WillD on Mon Sep 23 21:12:25 2013, in response to R44 5240 - New York Transit Museum 9/21/13, posted by Mysterious Friday 1986 on Mon Sep 23 21:00:29 2013. edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Nice photos, but they raised a question I hadn't considered before. How are trains stored in the Transit Museum? I don't recall hearing the compressors run the last time I was there, so I'm assuming they're hand braked. But it's my understanding that a handbrake cannot be trusted to hold a train over a very long time, so are there chocks or some other means of securing the trains should the handbrakes release? And I'd assume the third rail is live throughout the station, as opposed to using an shop jumper to run the lights and stuff?
