    G'day Snuffy! Wow!! Thats amazing (90+ degrees) in Los Angeles. Was noticing, when you get out to Oceanside the temperature drops to a nice (75 degrees).
    Note: The Sprinter system's DMU railcars are manufactured by the German carbuilder 'Siemens Transportation Systems'. Each car is propelled by two 440-horsepower Mercedes diesel engines beneath the floor of the passenger cabin.
    The maximum permissible speed of the trains is 55 mph. Each car seats 136, with room for 90 standing passengers; and on most trips, the transit district can couple two cars together. Through multiple-unit controls, the driver has control of all four diesel engines in a 2-car train.
    The car body is made of aluminum integral construction; the empty weight is 67 tons. Every car has three different braking systems. When running below 15 mph, the vehicle uses the regular wheel brakes (air brakes).
    When the train is moving above 15 mph, the cars are slowed by an engine retarder, not by the regular brakes. The third braking system is an electromagnetic track brake (using three electromagnets) located in the trucks (bogeys). When the train goes into emergency braking, all brake systems are applied at once. The initial fleet consists of twelve vehicles provided by 'Siemens' at a cost of $52.2 million.
    Cheers! :-)

    The Coast Sprinter reminds me of some of the trains that I rode in Great Britain.

    The Sprinter looks like the trains on the NJ Transit River Line.

    I'm still a bit confused. I know that after some problems with the Nippon Sharyo cab cars Metrolink started leasing BNSF locomotives to run at the rear of its trains. So why is there just a cab car on the rear of the first Metrolink train?

    With temperatures like this there should be a bumper crop of tomatoes around now! Great video, and I loved the double car Sprinter. Is there a series of these or was just the one very busy?

      maxrailroad I like sprinters to but what sucks about sprinters is that they don't go to all parts of Southern California

    What is wrong with #457's horn?

    Nicely done. And I must say, those Sprinter trains look and sound funny. They're quite hideous compared to the normal stuff. I'm assuming it's like a light rail system, right?

      @sgtdebones 8 років тому

      +SGT Ghost Coaster and Sprinter doesn't go that far. Metrolinks and Coaster end at the same place. Metrolink towards LA and Coaster towards SD

    • @sgtdebones
      @sgtdebones 8 років тому

      Oceanside is the half way point between San Diego and Los Angeles. Metrolink is the LA half and Coaster is the San Diego half
