LRT Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Spotted it heading northbound just north of Southland station seconds ago (unless it was a U2-AC mixed consist) A quick way to confirm a DC unit to a AC unit is to look for the large rectangular air intakes in the articulation area, they have the same intakes as the SD160s (in case if you can't catch the unit number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get the large roof boxes/shrouds that the U2-AC's have either since it was night time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looks like the consist is laying over at Somerset-Bridlewood right now! Might be a different consist than last night (I just see it out the window of my school, can't see the numbers) but it's definitely a mixed consist with a U2-DC.

Nick B Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Unless #2101 is back in service, I saw an unknown mixed consist with a U2-DC deadheading south to Somerset-Bridlewood for the PM rush hour not too long ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool huh, the train runs in simulated DC mode, going up to Crowfoot from Dalhousie it just keeps climbing up the hill until it overspeeds. The U2 responds a lot slower but its cool how the SDs wait for the U2 to respond.... and then they work together absolutely perfectly. Did you try the reducer on the SDs? It actually WORKS you can feel the U2 reduce steps of braking / power and again the SDs hang in there for the U2. I'm glad you enjoyed driving it.

Nick B Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Interesting! So riding the SD car in a mixed SD-U2DC consist feels exactly like riding a U2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Interesting! So riding the SD car in a mixed SD-U2DC consist feels exactly like riding a U2? Kinda sorta.... When driving the consist, you definitely notice a difference. When riding the SDs I'm sure you won't notice a much of a difference either, you might feel the slight jerk of the cam shift points from the U2. If your riding in the U2, it will feel a bit "supercharged" because the SDs are pushing and pulling the car as the SDs have more jam then the U2 car. It's cool, give it a ride!

I was in a rush to post before heading to bed sorry. And no I didn't see who was operating that train! I was driving the opposite direction when I saw it. It was about 9AM or so. Train was outbound towards Crowfoot arriving at Brentwood Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantograf Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Even though it's not recommended to mix the SD's and U2's anymore, it is still happening on rare occasions. Last week after the 4th train broke down on the main line, a 3-car train was made up of what was left at AG - SD-U2-SD. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
