Okay so im from Australia And on Your subway trains and M7's they have the green orange and red lights on the side, i've always wondered what they are for, if anyone can tell me that would be great :)
I have seen that happen once here in the UK too, it happens everywhere,
However a train driver should never manage to do that. Their JOB is not to lose concentration.
Train drivers here receive £1 million worth of training... they are thoroughly tested for concentration, loads of psychometric tests, interviewed about what 'safety critical' means all the time,
They spend days learning the route and rolling stock before they are allowed to work on it on their own.
Errrrr.... of course. I forgot about that, I was thinking too much about the engineer.
Like sometimes on the London Underground (Especially the victoria line where Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is in use) some trains overshoot the platform.
Sometimes the driver will use the emergency brake to stop if the ATO doesn't do its job properly.
right, which in this case, only happened because M7As don't stop well when its anything other than perfect conditions - in this case it had drizzled earlier in the day. The engineer on this train even said so himself..
This is the exact same problem they had in the 70s. The GG1s are beautful, but are getting old. [the m3s and m4s]. Instead ofcontinueing something that works, the m-3s, or the GG1s, they start new and come up with a piece of crap [the e60, and M-7a] ha. morons
I know what you mean. Fwiw tho u mean the M1 & M2 cars (1968-1972) - as the M3 (1983),M4 (1994),M6 (1996) cars were "sticking with what they knew", but the M7As like the E60s were "fixing something that wasn't broken" or "making a turd shiney to try and deny its still a turd"....
wow, if only you understood - this was not anybody being asleep..... Railfans make comments like this and run their mouths and then wonder why so many railroaders hate them. SHUT YOUR MOUTH and DONT MAKE STUPID (YES, STUPID) ASSUMPTIONS.
Bring back the P-Motors and ACMU 1000's and Washboard MU's. Lets go back in time when it was the New york Central and New Haven Lines. How about they scrap the Genesis Engines and renstate FL9's and on the New Haven EP 5's from Boston to New York. Whose with me old school all the way right Josh
i wish. nice sounding dream though. that would likely also bring back the days when railroad employees were real RAILROADERS and took PRIDE in their jobs, etc..........
you keep saying that but you never provide any positive data about them. See many of my videos and the comments on them for the lists of things that make the M-7A an INFERIOR car to the M1/M3 cars. Especially the M7A - those cars are quite possibly the worst cars MN has owned. Check out how 70% of the fleet are experiencing computer failures.... See my latest video to see a GP-35 towing a 8 M-7A shitcans off the railroad....
Either way no M7 "rocks". The M-7 (LIRR Version) can be forgiven a little - as it was purpose built for the LIRR and is working better for them. On MN - the M-7As are useless failures and the problem lies in that the cars were not designed for service on MN but rather they are the LIRR version modified for service on MN making them SUCK worse.
The M-1 and M-3 were built for LIRR and then altered for MN (ok, PC, CR, etc) service as M-1A/M-3As but those cars were well built and well designed.
you really should spend more time on them. you would surely change your tune. try working on them.......you'd wish the M-7as were melted into toyotas..... ROLLING BASKET CASES.
thats funny - since there aren't to be any M-8As. The car's Metro North and CDOT are procuring will be M-8's - just like the M-2, M-4, and M-6 cars. There are no M-2A's.
Haha, that was funny. They really do need to fix those M-7As though. If a drizzle makes them lose braking ability then I don't know what's in store for them.
No, that's Metro-North, 1 of 2 commuter rails run by the MTA (which runs the subways) that serve the NY metropolitan area. Metro-North serves lower NY state and southwestern CT and the other one, the LIRR (Long Island Railroad) serves the area the name states. Check Wikipedia for more details on the exact towns and cities they serves.
Actually that's not a subway. That's a normal commuter railroad named Metro North Railroad in the system with MTA. But those commuters car called the M7's do sound like subways cars. Good question to ask!
today my remark above (BMT Northern Division) was called into question in a conversation with a few MN employees, so I will respond here the same way I did in person:
If you want to be railroaders not motormen and subway employees then think of the job as such, not just being robots. FURTHER - get a real union who won't allow you to be trampled to the point you become drones.
oh man, this acting what STAEN ISLAND RAILWAY, do except , No leave's!!!!

Let me get your opinion, folks.
Who thinks the driver would have stopped properly if he was driving an M1, M3 or one of those older cars? Or do you think the driver was "drunk"?
sammydenyc 3 years ago
drunk? please don't even hint at those type of accusations. I can assure you that alcohol/drugs WERE NOT a factor here.
nhlives 3 years ago
What I meant by drunk was if there was anything wrong with him. Anything at all, even if it wasn't alcohol.
That was why I put it on quotation marks.
My question was: if there was something wrong with him; or the M7; or if he was driving an M1 or M3 the train would have stopped properly.
Sorry about the misunderstanding

So you're saying that these M7As were modified?
That explains everything.
sammydenyc 3 years ago
the LIRR has M-7s MN has M-7As. They are the same car mechanically for the most part, but there are a number of differences:
Seating
Cab Signal/ATC apparatus
Door Control apparatus
PIDS functionality
Third Rail Shoes
Voltage configurations
etc

not modified - but built different as they were for a different company.
