Very Fast M7 Train

[TEMPLE7D]

Lol meanwhile on metro north M7-As only run 6-8 car sets

Mineola! That's my "home" station. It's an express stop so it always catches you off guard and a train barrels through. Pretty great though.

[BlastedNetPhiend]

But the propulsion system is by Mitsubishi

[cancerman50]

That's normal speed for the LIRR. I see them ever day.

[Amtrak1194]

Were the M7's designed by bombardier?

They look similar to the Acela passenger cars.

[RRJS3]

@Amtrak1194 yeah, they're a bombardier design.

[MrBrownhornet1974]

On all MN & LIRR M7s the horn is located below the conductors seat. They are Leslie RS2Ms (some have S44s). On all other MUs for MN & LIRR (M1s-retired, M3s [MN & LIRR], M2s, M4s, and M6s [MN only-M8s are unknown as of 3/15/10]) they have Leslie S2Ms located under the engineer's seat. MAS means max speed permitted (don't remember actual definition). The max speed in Mineola and for all of the LIRR is 80 mph.

[sliterturn1]

its a 12 car train if anything, nothing more is allowed.

[6V92TA]

[Italman45]

@6V92TA ...........It's the busiest commuter railroad in North America, serving approximately 83 million passengers each year

[Italman45]
