Take a look at a H6 trainset arriving and terminating at Kipling Station, and listen to 5879 start up, then take a ride on it from Islington Station to Jane Station.

  • uh btw, when you say that the traction motors are going to fire up, isn't that the interior's A/C fan being activate ??? I remember whne I hear that sound I felt a gush of cool air coming from the vents! :)

  • No, you can hear HVAC fans before the traction starts up.

  • Oh ok. :) Also the lights flickers when they start up right? I said to myself, wow the A/C are powerhogs! lol!

  • When the traction motors start up, Yes. Not sure about the HVAC though.

  • Great job there! You should have continued the trip though...lol

  • Don't worry man, I just uploaded part 2 of the ride, out to Lawnsdowne Station

see all

  • I believe that the H6s have the most powerful AC, even more powerful than the T1.

  • Wow the acceleration on that thing is pretty nice for such an old subway.

  • So guys what do you think should there be an H6 with the propulsion drive modernized, say, by replacing with AC motors like those in US New York R142A or BART commuter trains? In Japan this has become quite commonplace in recent years. Trains refurbrished in such a way have bodywork dating back to as early as the 1970s but with powertrains as new as 2006 designs.

  • The A/C units are indeed loud here. But there could be, I guess, a fan cooler unit to cool the whole powertrain down, or a motor pump that injects air into the air tank for use by the secondary air brakes, door engines, and so froth. These also produce loud noises on operation. But anyway, the propulsion drive is always the most power consuming.

  • COOL

  • Problably the traction motor are more power hungry than the HVAC. Seems more logical to me!
