By the way..... what the heck are they doing with the series 9s right now? I haven't been up in the Northeast for quite a while but they have a team of Siemens people up there and they're working on them hardcore at night! Fixing glitches?

LRT Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 The fit and finish on these cars are terrible... I can't believe CT is letting this slide. These cars rattle worse then the U2s... next time anyone rides in these cars take a look at how the overhead compartments are fitted... they pop open from time to time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake M Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Probably a silly question but do the S200's not have A and B ends or are they just not labelled in the cabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a silly question at all. Yes they do have a and b ends rule of thumb wherever the Pantagraph is that would be the A end. Someone had a bright idea not to put stickers in the cabs. The monitors tell you which cab your in.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
