vivablue5215 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Rode the 6x and 7x set on Line 4 today. Saw 5x, didn't see the 4th set. Noticed that none of the two sets I rode had A/C running, only the vent was on. Presumably the reason was to keep the temperature of all the stations comfortable (turning the A/C on can contribute to hotter stations for lines that are completely underground).

I doubt that was the reason why the A/C on the trains weren't running. The ventilation system of the Sheppard line is much more robust than that of the rest of the subway system.

nfitz Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 12 minutes ago, Fire123 said: TRs going out of service at Kennedy Wednesday morning - deadheading back to the YUS after the delay? Presumably. With the fire starting that early, I'd have thought they'd have been short T1 trains from Kipling to St. George - so presumably some from Wilson were put in service until they could get trains from Greenwood to west of St. George. So after everything started again, I'd think any TR train already heading east from Kipling, would simply continue to Kennedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soo8513 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Is wiki correct for the TRs? I read it that all sets are delivered, I had thought more six car sets were to come after the four car sets, starting at 6091. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the "Editing Toronto Transit Commission 5381-6176" page? There is 76+6 sets in total. Only 71 (up to 6081-6) 6-car sets and 3 4-car sets are in service. (correct me if a 4th 4-car set entered service. I don't see any sightings of it. Nor is the 72th set in service) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC5327 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Does anyone know when the last two 4 car TRs namely 6181-6182-6185-6186 and 6191-6192-6195-6196 will be delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are still following the schedule that I remember reading earlier this year, they are suppose to be delivered once the final 6-car set is here. There are only 4 6-car sets left to be delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsbuspage Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 This shot from May 2012 looks as if there are enough cars for a whole train and then some, including two cab cars next to the facility : https://www.google.ca/maps/@48.3568997,-89.30605,3a,20y,72.48h,86.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sQOJlr0vz5B-X76QaLF-gWg!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DQOJlr0vz5B-X76QaLF-gWg%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D103.92654%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656 Question: did Bombardier install TTC-gauge track for this work, are the trucks swapped out before shipping, or it is just an illusion that the TR cars appear to be sitting on the tracks?

The vast majority of the trackage up at the plant is built to TTC gauge. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 It looks like the tracks with regular gauge connect to the cars on the track. Is that track compatible with both gauges? It looks like the track the flat car is parked on is connected to the ones that the TR's are parked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is mixed gauge within the yard, with large signs now instructing the yard crew which cars can go where......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTCOpITM Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I don't know if any of you guys have noticed, but a few weeks ago I witnessed a TR test train with destination signs in some of the passenger windows on the sides of the train like they have in New York and some other systems. I don't recall what set it was though. Looks like that's going to be another additional feature on the TRs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be nice but don't know if it'll be necessary, only time I could think of is when they shut down Bay Stn. and you'll have trains on one platform going to 3 different destinations at Museum but other than that we don't have a platform at any station that could have trains go to multiple destinations that could really warrant that feature unlike in NYC.
