LRT Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nice! I'll try to get a pic when I'm at Anderson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Here you go. They are in the middle of decaling 2404. Currently 2402 does not have its red celing panals installed. 2403 has no decals installed yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I have to admit that I find the numbers on 2404 better but adding that new city logo just looks awful. I have heard that all CT equipment will eventually have it added. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bus Fan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 When does the City of Calgary except to have the series nine in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucx Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm not a fan of the white on the roofline. It's disjointed and looks like an afterthought. They could have put the city logo on the black where 2401's wordmark currently is and it would have looked fine. My guess is it's against the corporate branding rules to have the logo on a black background - which is silly. They wrote the guidelines, they are allowed to tweak it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC62 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Anyone want to take a stab at which S200 this is? 01 or 02 I'm guessing - has some decals, but not the ugly new City logo. She's a bit louder than the one earlier in the day (or it could just be the quieter ambient volume). Glad I stayed up late! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 When was this taken? Because there's one at university having issues right now! (It's 2402 by the way) It a bit louder because the wheels have flat spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC62 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It was taken at 1:27am. I figured it might be the wheels "again", heh. What was it having troubles with? I heard it making some announcements as it was entering Brentwood - interesting new alert tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 They couldn't get it to move at university shortly after that picture was taken. Not sure why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have they fixed the coupling issue yet? Seen two cars coupled together the other day but haven't heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 As far as I know they are good to go. Heard from some operators that have received training on these cars that they are very impressive. Instant turn arounds..don't have to wait for the train to boot up when you change ends. And my favorite feature...all doors open. It's about time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Is 2404 the only one with the logo? Saw a car moving outside AG this afternoon but wasn't able to see a number, just the logo stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 2401 on the brake lathe with "temporary decals" 2402 still has the "temporary decals" 2403 no decals Here's a shot of 2404 making a movement in the yard at Anderson. You can see a body part missing at the articulation joint. You can also see that the "new logo" has not been applied on the one end yet. The other side of the car has the logo applied on both ends. I haven't had a chance too see 2405 yet... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed one on Thursday with no decals, thought maybe that was 2405 but based on LRT's post it was most likely 2403. Only get a brief look as I sit at the lights on MacLeod but being in a bus I get to see over the traffic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC62 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Spotted 2403 yesterday just as I was heading down to Beerfest - finally got to see one of these up close! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianTransitTycoon Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Found an S200 by fish creek! Here a quick clip that I got: Finally got one! I'll be hunting down more test trains to capture. Quick sidenote: I'm unsure if this was 2403 or 2405. I don't recall if 2405 has decals or not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
