Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Mon Jun 28 20:05:51 2010 Finally folks, your friendly, neighborhood #1 Conductor had a good time frame this past Sunday in NH to check out the M-8 over at the Kawasaki Yard.And without further ado...... The M-8!!!    Face to face!!  Wheel trucks and third rail shoes......   MU coupler & compromise coupler.......   Lightweight pantograph......  Since the interior was loaded with sandbags for load testing, there was not a whole lot to be seen inside, as I would have preferred to show off this awesome interior without any computer equipment, apparatus, blue plastic bag covers and sandbags cluttering things up. So I left those views alone until there is a time where this can be shown off as any of you who hopefully and luckily get to board it on its maiden run, will get to see it!! (Do allow me to leave a little something for your imaginations!! ;-)) Thank you for coming on this quick up-close tour of MNR's newest addition to the fleet, coming soon to the New Haven Line in the form of 300 cars. I look forward to taking these sweet looking machines down the road, and I hope they run every bit as good as they look!! Much respect to Kawasaki for the nice work as well!! :-) Thank you for viewing!! Hope you all enjoyed!! :-) |
