High Quality - Due to a drop pan order, SEPTA trains 554 and 541 coast through work area near County Line Road on SEPTA's Doylestown Branch, and since the lead pan on Silverliner III 239 refused to cooperate after that, 541 continued into town with its pan down through Lansdale on SEPTA's Main Line November 14 2011

  • @theshugchannel some internal reason thats none of our business

  • @IIIIIRepoIIIII quite a while

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

  • @whatthefuck9000

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

  • @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.

  • i got a ? what is coasting ?

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

  • nice catch

  • How long can they run with the pans down?

  • Great catch and title!!
