I don't think I've ever seen these cars numbered from the factory until now. Did we already get 2416? Or did the the 9s stop at 2415 back in late 2016? I believe the last one was 2415 in late 2016 going off posts in this thread and http://carsandtrains.com/ctrain/s200/s200_roster.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC62 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 An unusual sight just a few moments ago at 12:48pm - an out-of-service 2413/2/1 came into Brentwood southbound on the outbound track just two minutes before a 4-car SD160 came southbound on the inbound track. (apologies for quality - shooting through the dirty shelter windows) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(apologies for quality - shooting through the dirty shelter windows) Well let me tell you what happened there. That consist was involved in a collision with a car I believe at 4th Ave and 9st O.B this morning... from what I heard the operator was not aware of the collision until parts of the damaged train made contact with the platform at Sunnyside. Eventually the train was put out of service and parked at the Northland Yard. That picture was taken shortly after the train came back onto mainline from the Northland yard track. I seen it go by in the south when it was returning back to Anderson. It had significant damage to the lower side skirting on 1 or 2 of the cars. This would be the 1st collision on a series 9 in revenue service to the best of my knowledge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that was the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 At least 3 of these 4-car S200 consists on the Red Line yesterday afternoon. If this NB one was a minute earlier, would have shot both of them together on the Elbow River bridge since they were both at Erlton. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't 2414 show up in late 2016? I'm sure that's been in service already in January / February It's been a while since I've been in the south... but I'll be there tomorrow I'll check things out Edited March 18, 2017 by LRT Brain Fart!

Okay here's the scoop... 2414 is undergoing load testing on test track (as we speak) it's actually loaded full of metal weights and they're doing some sort of testing to possibly tweak the software and drivability of these cars. So I would imagine 2414 has become some kind of guinea pig for this purpose. 2416 has arrived sometime this week and 2418 is still in its white wrapping exposing a small part of its articulation with the unit number 2418.... here's the thing I could not find 2417 anywhere. Even the service guy couldn't find it in the papers so I'm starting to think 2418 may have actually been mis-numbered as 2417. I actually seen 2417 at haysboro siding still wrapped up with my own eyes and so did some other members on this board. If there's any way we can confirm that 2417 has arrived or not even more that would be great. The only place I didn't look was in the body shop but if it was in the body shop it would have been in the lineup sheets. 2411 is damaged due to a car hitting it sometime last week or so. It will be out of service until parts show up. All other cars have been in service except 2414 by sounds of things. That's it for now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicinity Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 How many more cars do we need in until some u2's start getting pulled from service ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear the reliability on the series 9s have to improve before they start pulling the U2s however some (3-4) already have been temporarily sidelined because there in such rough shape . The series 5s are going back to Sacramento to be modernized and the series 7s are undergoing refurbishments so a surplus will be needed to keep up with service. I remember hearing a story on the news that because of the 5s going out of town the 1st mass batch of the U2 retirement could be delayed as much as a year. Not to mention we have 1 maybe 2 series 8s that are toast and 1 under a major repair due to that crazy derailment last year. Originally 20 cars were suppose to be retired with this order of S200s. To date retired and scraped U2s have been: 2001, 2010, *2019, *2027, 2057 and 2102 * 2027 "A" end and 2019 "B" end was used to build 2090 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC62 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Consist to which 2405 is attached is currently being held at Brentwood on the outbound platform due to passenger emergency (according to CT's Twitter). They're having the passengers take the next train using the inbound platform. Edit: oops, this should probably have been in the Disruptions thread.
