LRT Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 It really doesn't take much to flatten wheels. Wheel slippage... disc brakes grabbing... emergency braking... not to sure how many times you can reprofile a wheel. The abuse the new trains are taking during commissioning wouldn't take much to flatten the wheels. More common then you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Oh I know how they get flats, used to drive train in England, but I have ridden some awful cars over the years, flats, hunting trucks. However they tend to ride better than the engines. Saw two of the new cars outside AG Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Spotted two sitting outside of Anderson this afternoon. Sadly wasn't able to get the numbers as I was on MacLeod Trail at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 One thing that I've noticed that is very different from this car operating from the others is that (correct me if I'm wrong) the amber driving lights were on while it was operating (leading end) it really stood out when I seen this car yesterday Whenever I've seen these cars working on test track their amber driving lights were not on just the headlights. Let's hope it's working the way it's designed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 #2404 is now sitting outside AG and it now has different decals than 401 and 402. The side fleet numbers are on the red instead of black, and it has the red and white City of Calgary logos (similar to the Calgary.ca website header) on the roofline. In short, it looks fantastic!

I haven't heard anything for sure. Based on the reported numbers of completed LRVs in Sacramento, I'm guessing it'll be more frequent for the next little while.
