Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Thu Jul 1 20:31:59 2010, in response to Re: PHOTOS : The M-8 struts her stuff....and very well!! :-), posted by wwwd on Thu Jul 1 14:28:09 2010. Somewhere between CP 12 and Ludlow, where we were doing our testing. The techs indicated that quite a few of the third rail shoes were not properly adjusted, which resulted in large amounts of arcing, and smoky arcing at that, and the eventual loss of the shoe. If the flash was early Wednesday morning between 2:00 AM and 3:30 AM, then yes it was us, and there was lots of arcing, more than I have ever seen with any train. It was amazing none of the ties started burning, because the arcing was quite smoky, almost enough where the test was close to being called off.The tarps are applied to protect the seats from the sand and the sand bags, though the seat cushions were removed, and if you look carefully in the interior pics, the seat cushions were stored away in the overhead racks. And thank you for the compliment, man!! :-) Always a pleasure to share what most do not get to see in this business other than who is on the inside!! :-) |
