LRT Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 That's too bad about the thread. Yes expect more Series 9s to come. 2423 is in town and should be making it's way to the Haysbro siding next week. 2422 is on it's way from Sacramento and should be in town late next week or the week after that. I can't explain why these cars are coming all mixed up. Car 2420 is coupled to car 2411 and still wrapped up at Anderson Cars 2419 2418 are being prepped for revenue service expect them in service real soon (maybe in the NE with car 2421 and 2420?) Car 2421 interior is being worked on and put together. Series 9s will be running on the Blue line by the end of the month or early May. Expect a media release about the 4 car / Series 9 on the Blue line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the power problems on the NE blue line resolved? Anecdotally, it seems as though the NW and S legs received many more new prebuilt substations than I've seen put into place on the NE leg. But maybe they are able to upgrade the existing substations and that's enough. I really don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 2418 is packed with sandbags from end to end about 2 feet high. Must be undergoing "passenger load tests" and they must still be tweaking drivability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I found car 2414. Its currently coupled to cars 2419 and 2421 with a data cable going from 2414 and 2419. 2414 is spotless and definitely never seen service. It's being used as a guinea pig or something, Siemens technicians working on that consist. I guess 8 S200 cars are at OBMF awaiting 4 car revenue service. They should be in service on the Blue line "anyday now" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be 2423 or 2422 was it a short train on its way to Haysbro? Or a full freight coming from the south? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 2 keys are usually out on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things will be changing next week two keys will be out of the Northeast and will be less keys in the south until they get the new cars commissioned. There are five cars in Anderson right now that are being worked on. Cars 2414, 2418, 2419, 2420 and 2421. At least two more cars coming in the next week or so. 20 minutes ago, Chinese Daniel said: more s200 coming, those is a best news for Calgary transit. Yes a total of 69 S200 cars by the end of next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1604 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'm happy to report I was able to restore the series 9 thread from a previous backup. Unfortunately, any uploaded attachments were lost and likely will not be able to be recovered. A brief word on why this happened: the current version of our forum software does not clearly differentiate between actions applied to individual posts in a thread, and the entire thread itself. And, to compound the issue, the delete function acts permanently with no way to undo it once it's done. We've made changes to help prevent this from happening again, and the next major release of the forum software will include the option to revert deletions. My apologies again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
