  • at the end yous said they're testing it

  • @Railfan02 What's the purpose of doing that test? I mean the test with opening the doors on the wrong side.

  • The conductor also has a key operated switch that has to be put to the "door enable". When that happens the power to the engineers panel gets cut off to prevent the train from being moved with the doors open.

  • That's great. They opened the doors on the wrong side. I don't understand how. You know how that works? There is a button that the engineer and conductor have to both press to get the doors to open on the correct side. If the engineer doesn't press the right button, the doors can't be opened.

  • LOLZ...this reminds me one day when I saw this train above me on the J line on Jamaica Ave and I saw the doors open on the wrong side...I did not know on test trains they do this. I figured they would test speed, braking, and rail handling on different lines and to see what stations it can fit in.

  • no r160 g tran nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo

  • Its called a burn test. each newset of trains must get 50 rail hours before its accepted into the fleet. COnductors open the doors on the opposite side for one trip then usually go back to Jamaica Yard.
