Great video, definitely different seeing Silverliners without their pans up! Really cool watching the pantographs go down at 0:39!

i got  a ? what is coasting ?

[trainman1971]

@whatthefuck9000

Simply rolling without applying power. In this case, they get up enough speed to roll through the affected area, drop the pans and coast through, then raise them again on the other side of the work zone.

@whatthefuck9000

To add, all trains coast through the phase break north of Girard Avenue daily... you don't take power through the dead section.

[trainlover1999]

do they use batteries or engines when they are not using the pantographs and cool title

[SuperStarRendon]

[tkandme3]

Love how SEPTA's revives a train with a busted panto. LOL.

It's really wierd seeing trains like this coasting with the pantographs down.
