LRT Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I think this discussion deserves its own thread As We Know cars 2311 2310 derailed at the Tuscany tail track and car 2311 has been officially written off damaged beyond repair. 2311 is currently stored at OBMF cut in half and under a tarp. Thought I would update everybody with the two remaining cars. Some good news today, car 2310 recieved new A, B and C bogies and has been parked on a storage track. Car 2329 is currently in the shop with bogies removed. Lots of work to be done on these cars including Body work and new paint as they're pretty banged up I'll keep everybody posted on news on these cars. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 WOW! Car 2310 just went by Heritage station moments ago on its way to Anderson Garage. It was being towed by another SD160! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Walton Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Is either end of 2311 salvageable? Can it maybe be "2090'd" with a new opposite end, or one from another car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city has paid out Calgary Transit what it's worth ($4 million) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Calon Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 The two halves of 2311 are outside of OBMF. Not sure if they're going to be hauled away soon or not... Here's a rather crappy long distance shot I took with my iPhone... Jon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply think the tarp blew way. They should make some sort of "trainer car" out of it for CPS and CFD. It would be cool to see a permanently positioned training class room for that purpose. It could even be used in LRT training for door malfunctions, troubleshooting passenger emergencies, things that the simulator can't duplicate.

That is a good idea, i agree give the Car to CPS or CFD, for example CFD can use that car for Rescue training，CPS can use the car for Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team training.

LRT Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just an update on these cars: I seen 2310 and 2329 today at Anderson garage. Bodywork looks to be complete they look brand new again! Lots if work to be done on these cars before we see them back in the Revenue Service. Both cars are still fitted with there temporary couplers. I spoke to another operator that's pretty knowledgeable about what's going on with these cars (and other stuff).... I guess they're bogies and 2310 t-box is being rebuilt. (t-boxes hold the trains electronic stuff 2310s t-box turned into an accordion when it derailed) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
