Hi 😀. Its me your bro. Nice youtube channel. Have a nice day.
29:41 straight up looks like avaisic's thumbnail.
Great video! Subbed! BTW the amfleet car @ 2:00 was a special test car designed to see if it could hook up to the catenary wires. Also very cool catch of the special car right behind it!
Actually, if you're referring to the 2nd to last car, that looks like an ex-Metroliner car. :D
25:44 never seen that
@18:50 who thinks it's a good idea to have 2 veiwliners then a baggage car then another veiwliner
It was an interesting consist to say the least
Fruhauf Productions I was on that train
Can you tell me what the Green/Yellow lights on the carriages mean?
And how do the door operations work in general in the US?
Michael P. To be honest, I am not too educated on how door operations work in detail. Don’t quote me on this, but I believe the lights on the carriages mean the following:
Green: Doors are shut properly
Yellow: Doors are almost done closing
Red: Doors are open
Flashing red: Doors are about to close or are closing.
That’s how it works on Long Island Railroad I’m pretty sure, should be similar with other railroads. However, if there are any other railfans reading this comment that are more knowledgeable on door operations, feel free to correct me.
The green and yellow/amber lights on the coaches are brake status indicators.
Green means the brakes are released; amber means the brakes are applied.
A red light turns on when coaches have doors open.
As far as door operations go, there are a lot of factors at play. For the most part, most coaches have door controls that are activated by a key that the conductor has. At a typical station with a high-level platform, like this one, the conductor opens the door where they stand, and then those along the length of the train where appropriate. In addition, the doors at the ends of the coaches have stairs that allow boarding at low-level platforms, and a trapdoor that covers them at high-level platforms. At stations with low-level platforms, the conductor only opens one or two doors to make sure passengers get on and off the train safely.
I hope these answers are satisfactory, if not a bit late.
