I love the new propulsion sound on these trains.
A lot of trains in japan have similar propulsion systems to this one so I'm familiar with how it sounded.
Zuramaru this and the metro north are the only competent railroads in the
U.S. we don’t talk about Amtrak
Well, they are made by Kawasaki.
I saw a m9 nonstop when I was on my way to the city. I was in the train to pennstation rush hour so I didn’t get to video tape it because I thought it was a regular M7.
I love the body style of the M7 and am glad the M9 resembles it as well. The cars look great and the paint is a sharp touch. Hoping they are happy with all the tests and can begin rolling some into service.
That’s what I call an epic gamer train
Just because it’s scheme is similar to r160 that are refurbished.
@@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2 ??????????
1:22 ... everybody dies as they step out on to the high voltage rail.
There is a beige cap running along the third rail. You would have to wedge your foot inbetween the cap and the steel bar carrying the voltage. Even then if you are wearing shoes, i believe there is no guaranteed shock.
😂😂
@@JDintheDMV r/woooooooooooooosh
They live after hitting third rail,wipe themselves off and train going other way runs them over.
Hahaha
Saw these in the Kawasaki yard in Yonkers Friday...love the new stripes
Baby Long Island train m9 thank you so much for something like this
Nice looking cars! I really like the paint scheme, I favor blue ;-) Thanks for posting!
The M9 train horn sounds like the nyc work Diesel train horn
Not really, it’s a leslie R2SM
Its basically an M7 mixture with an M8
OH COME ON! How did I miss this?! Admirable shots though. My stop on this branch is Oceanside.
That's one beautiful train
Nice video, hope you got some White Castle burgers or Gino's pizza when you were at Lynbrook
Heard today that trains on the Babylon Branch would be making extra stops at those stations common with the Long Beach Branch. And as a YTer myself, I made sure to add a "like"
What station valley stream? I know it stops at Lyn and there is like one that already stops at valley stream.
@@jbot91 This was only due a problem on the Long Beach line a few weeks ago.
I love the propulsion of the train
1:59 LOL ITS CALMA FROM PEDRO!!! vamos pa la playa!
That train sounds just like a R179
Nope. Those are Mitsubishi traction motors, whereas the R179s have Bombardier traction motors.
EthanTheBklynBoy_666 _6 the sound is quite different. Very similar in the approach sound but there’s no obvious noise like the M7s it seems
@@nygrasshole Either the motors used in the M7s had been discontinued (for new trains) or the MTA decided to go with more recent motors, likely based on how they performed on Metro-North (the M8s have the same motors).
sonicboy678 interesting. You definitely know when a M7 is coming for sure. Once they reach under 30 mph they start making a very distinctive noise. Then at 12 mph the noise dips down a few notes. I’ve sat in the spare conductor seat before and tried to observe the speedometer gauge they have and coordinate it with the sound. These new M9s sound quieter. I’ve never seen or rode the M8. Going to check them out online now
u mean lemons? lol
Handsome equipment - looking forward to riding on some soon!
What part of TEST some of you guys did not understand?
Noicee can't wait for these to hit service
I don’t know much about Long Island railroad,does lirr have cbtc or ptc.
The M9 sounds like the R179 and the R179 sounds like the 7000 series train's in DC
@DJHammers, you got any idea of when these bad boys gonna enter service?
No one knows. Not even the Engineers.
Lol 2020
@Xman Hunter I know someone who's a Senior Locomotive Engineer on the LIRR and one of the top 10 on the roster. Not even he knows as of yet.
I basically asked a similar question and that results in one of the biggest problems on the LIRR, Lack of Communication.
That Subway & Bus Enthusiast they say August
don't these have mitsubishi IGBT like the M7? just a different gen?
When does the first M9 goes into service?
Hopefully it has comfortable seats and better air conditioning. Take a ride on the Babylon to Penn Station line, and see your back feels when you get off 🚉😫
problably not since trains in america are terrible
2:10 De fondo suena 🎶Calma, Pedro Capó y Farruko🎶 Buen video!👍
👍
I thought this video was going to be it in Service.
When will it be in service already!?
Sharon Watkins its might take way too long like the r179s did
Studies say by the end of this month
If not it’s till December
August - in the year 2525, if man is still alive...
My goodness just comparing and hearing these two together (m7s & m9s) will be something to look forward too. And Metro North has been replacing the seat fabrics with new fabrics on alot of cars so I know for a fact LIRR is in the process of doing it too
I just saw a M9 go past me near freeport!
Nice Catch
I love the m9 lirr Subway
Its not a subway its a commuter railway
Do LIRR cars pass 3rd rail voltage across the intercar connection? It looks like the 3rd rail gap at the crossing is longer than the length of a car.
I would guess so, since the traction motors still sound when passing over junctions, but don't quote me.
Good question, there some spots where the ventilation turns off. Even the lights on the m3.
They do not. When a car is off third rail it's on battery. A technique the railroad uses to keep AC/etc running is to apply 3-5 lbs of pressure on the brake shoes of a moving train, when traversing a 3rd rail gap, and then using the friction of the brake application as electrical power.
That's why when riding on M7 trains you often feel a "pull and tug" sensation through interlockings/junctions and crossings.
Very nice!!!!!
very nice Video!
Amazing video! I’m riding the first run and might do a livestream!
spicy
(big up centre avenue)
Gbimasjkivy
Long island RR. Best of the best.
nice trainset, I didn't know they can do at grade crossing with a electric 3rd rail, you usually do it with diesel trainset or overhead powerline.
On LI they always have. Break in the rails at crossing. Other cars are pulling power where there is still rail.
These must be the new cars that are due for service in 2021.
Nice!
Woah. Amazing video
Nice video!
I can almost smell the new car scent lol
and a week later, you can smell the stale beer and overflowing toilets.
Billie Bob Norton III LMFAOOOOO YOOOOOOOO
4:36 That is the babylon branch side of lynbrook.
that door chime sounds like back up alarm for truck and buses And any type of commercial vehicles
Doors open to third rail? Ahhh may need further testing
That is done so nobody gets on.
It's a good thing no one got off
At first I thought these are M7s with a new paintjob
They are M9s but the inside is basically nothing new but a couple of new tv screens I'm guessing to post station or line information
Why would they have 14 car test trains if most stations can only fit 12
ZeenozPlays I think that’s all the m9’s they have lol. Better to test them all at once I guess 🤷🏻♂️
door opens...step on the third rail...last ride!
Very nice. Rode the Ronkonkoma line for years. Will they get the new cars ?
yes
Why did the conductor open the doors on both sides. Someone could have fallen onto the third rail
Harry Gruber They didn't open on both sides. They opened on the off platform side only to prevent passengers from boarding while testing.
Nice video
Cool. I kind of prefer the M8 cars, though.
Nice Looking
I live near Kawasaki where the m9s where built and they are beautiful
So am i understanding this video correct now? By asking ? Long Island now has a train system soon to be operational to the general public? Interesting, that must mean the growth and economy is doing good out on the island and now linking the island to the cities? Wow the area has come along way over the last few decades. Anyway thanks for showing the video. Oh where are the engines on these trains and are they like diesel engines? Thanks again. Ciao.
The Long Island Rail road has been around for above and beyond a century, are you confused in some way?
What? LIRR has been in service since the late 1800s. The LIRR uses 3rd rail for electric power.
they sound similar to WMATA's 7000 series, and NYC's R179s
New? With no LED headlights?
Why does it need that? It's fine.
That's what I asked myself. Hopefully the next new rolling stock has them
@@acegarr22, M10's?
Beautiful!!! 🤤
Love your videos, l wanna see you do a video on just work equipment being that you obviously work for transit, it's not available, l've checked
Damn this looks similar to the M4 El trains in Philly except these are commuter rail. I wonder if they're the same company brand?
KaM G these were manufactured by Kawasaki
@@nygrasshole Ok. The Philly EL's were made by Adtranz, but if you look them up you can't tell me they don't look similar.
@@nygrasshole Our commuter regional rail looks similar too as the M4 and M9 except they have pantographs instead of third rail power.
KaM G I bet. Because the previous generation of M7s were made by Bombardier and the Kawasaki look just like them. The rail companies must tell them how to design. The M3s from the early 80s (some still in service on Long Island) look way different then the M7 and M9
@@nygrasshole Yeah Philly's M3 made by Budd had the similar older NYC subway look from the 80's too. That's interesting! The Orange line subway and trolleys here are made by Kawasaki, but our commuters are by Hyundai. Lol
Will you be continuing the station tour videos?
Interesting but behind UK. Check out the new 755 class.
But these sets, and the current equipment as well have well padded seats with head rests. My observation based on videos on YT show your UK commuter trains tend to have wafer thin "ironing board" seats, suitable only for short trips and skinny Gen Z bodies.Our equipment also has a handicapped accessible toilet in every other rail car in the MU set.
@@jackmorrison7379 why is every carriage a driver carriage? And why are the carriages not open standard and easy walk-through? It does seem a bit behind the times!
@@angus504 Very simple. We have crash integrity structural standards different from other places. Open design I assume (I'm not an expert) does not meet those standards. You can walk the length of the train. The doors open at each end for passage.
Maybe we will see these trains in revenue service by the end of the year, maybe we won't. The M9 cars were designed before the federal government made PTC installment on all trains mandatory. The LIRR is having a hard time making the PTC fit into the M9's.
Which year?
These trains seem to be still a bit behind the times. I'm surprised that every carriage has a driver cab? Do they not make full carriages or are they testing them all together? Just seems a bit strange that you can't walk the length of the train!
Also, they're not open walk through like you get in the UK!
For an urban rail, check out the London Overground class 710 which started running in May. That's how a suburban train should be designed surely?
They operate in 2 car sets with the cabs at the ends. They are most commonly lashed up in 6, 8 or 10 car sets and are broken down as needed. I've seen shuttle comprising of only one pair. Within the pairs are diaphragms. However, you can still walk the length of the train via the cab ends. There are 2 sets of doors at the cab ends, one that will lead outside to the next train car set and before that is the door to the vestibule, the interior of the cab. The driver's controls are on one side of the vestibule, so when the cab is not in operation, the door closes off cab controls cleverly.
You can walk the length of the train and this has been a consistent feature of the EMU equipment sets going back decades. This is for safety reasons should the train need to be evacuated in an emergency. As to the cabs for the operators see the reply of "Irish Phoenix" which explains it nicely. As to open walk through design not being sought it may have something to do with equipment crash standards and structural resistance to crushing per FRA regulations.
@@laxingpiper23 Yeah that's a standard design even in the UK in regard of the vestibules. My comment was just based on seeing so many Driver motor standards on one train but if they often only run as 2 car units then fair enough.
Yes new trains help but how about the rest of the system?
By the time they finish "testing" them, these cars will already be showing the water stains on the sides of the stainless steel finish. These cars have been ordered since 2013. Will be out of date before they are ever put in service. What a long drawn-out process. [The next generation of commuter rail cars is coming to the Long Island Rail Road. In 2013, the MTA awarded a contract to Kawasaki Rail Car, Inc. to design and build the new fleet of M9 rail cars for the LIRR.]
Thank you for the video!!!
@@9tomato9 honestly even In terms of visual design, these trains look outdated by a good 40 years. I take the train in Europe, all the time but I would never get on a train like the M9.
i regret living in america thanks ill move to europe
I use to live on li . Now I'm a threw freight conductor for up.
When are they going to electrify the Oyster Bay Branch, and the rest of the LIRR system and get with the rest of the world. Diesel is so last century.
@Curtis J. Livingston, III That is your problem. Typical American, thinking the world ends at the boarders with the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Pacific to the West. The world is bigger than the USA. Look towards: France, Japan, China, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, UK, Russia, Serbia, etc... "It's Electric"!
Opened up on the wrong side, no? Island park stop.
It's a test train. Didn't u see the video very clearly?
@@arielgonzalez5296 , a thousand pardons. Didn't know they tested new train doors by opening up on the wrong side.
@@bengalghost5403 Now u know. It prevents from passengers wanna go in.
Beautiful new commuter rail train.
Ppfffffff. Good one, you nearly got my keyboard soaked XD.
I saw 2 getting pulled by a diesel locomotive the other day
Is that island park?
Island Park, then Valley Stream, then Lynbrook, and then Centre Avenue
Why does each car have a drivers compartment?
The cars are organized in married pairs
@@Cards8114 but why doesn't the MTA just buy a full passenger car without a driver compartment?
@@claro371 I'm Unsure about that
These are Electric Multiple Units. The MTA used to use 3 car married sets for some of the EMUs on the New Haven Line for Metro-North, but found that the operation wasn't very efficient, considering that both MTA railroads tend to run various size consists depending on the line, direction and time of day. Also, since they are almost semi permanent pairs, if one has an issue, you lose the other. If you have even more in a married set, then those too are out of service. Since unlike NYCT which has vastly more rolling stock and generally runs fixed length trainsets regardless, both MTA heavy railroads have much smaller rolling stock numbers and have to be more frugal with how they allocate their stock to maintain adequate service. Also, since the railroads run multiple conductors on many trains, having the extra operator cabs allows them to have their own work space, spaced out along the train. Since many of the trains platform on both sides during their run, having the operator cabs butted against each other allows the conductors to swap sides quickly.
Basic units are having 1 motor coaach and 1 trailer coach.
Wait, so when they enter service their going to be painted yellow or they will have that design?
The yellow front livery was dropped for this blue livery instead.
@@acegarr22 Thanks for the info
Why not show video of the most important factor we all really care about....THE INSIDE OF THE CAR!!! lmao
Frankie Geist Because they’re being tested and unless you’re part of the LIRR testing team you can’t get in them
Are you now gonna make LIRR videos?
HI ROBERT
HI YO
Is it just me or do the MTA logos on the side of the M9s look off?
Is Metro North getting M9s anytime soon?
They are. They'll start appearing soon.
problably by 2021 MNRR will have them
Speedy Long island Rail road
Is the M9 still testing?
Yes
it has a electric 3rd rail just like the New York Subway system.
Perich29 The LIRR USES 750 volts DC NYCTA uses 650 volts.
I hope they made the head rests more comfortable.
probably not since trains in america are terrible
At 2:20 you can't even tell the difference between the M9 and M7 when you pause it
Jaxie Phlast the paint job and darker tints caught my eyes. Very similar design and two different manufacturers. LIRR must’ve gotten good feedback on the M7s aside from the arm rests
Surprise, surprise.
Doors opening on wrong side.
Rich w/ it means testing, so people should not allowed to enter the train. When it's on service, people are allowed to enter.
These ain’t new car these car just have a new texture🤷🏽♂️
Yes, they are new cars and they have new propulsions and horns.
@@Vxllain he is talking about the M9 being just a Reskined M8
Sounds just like Connecticuts M9s. Wish they had a different sound
They look pretty awesome. As a commuter I wonder why LIRR won’t order electric double deckers since quite a few platforms can’t handle over 8 cars. I love getting a double decker because every row of seats is 2 so there’s more room
because MTA is broke
I forget where the link is but I read an article detailing why double deckers are actually less efficient for storing passengers, as well as boarding and unloading. As someone who takes the Long Beach branch but has to connect to a double decker at Jamaica for service to Penn, trying to get off those things are a nightmare
Can u do west hempstead branch if u can?
I meant M7
Is this the same horn that the Arrow III has?
No, that horn the Arrow 3 has is an AA2 horn. This train, the M9, uses a K2H.
@@the_cortelyou_boi Ah alright. Thanks
oops a glitch they have to work out. doors opened on wrong side
That’s because this is a new test train. They do this to prevent passengers from boarding.
Nice! When will those bad boys be in service?
Under your Christmas trees on Dec 25....
ITS ACTUALLY IN SERVICE RN
@@billiebobbienorton2556 keep your jokes somewhere else
When will the M9 be in service to be used?
Next week
Need this is TSW 2020
TBoy205 as long as they take to add American trains it’ll probably never happen
At 2:14 listen closely, you can hear a song in the background. I’m familiar with the song.
Brand new, but still looking like their from 1950...... Why are Americans so conservative when designing something "new" ???
Cause Americans didnt design it
The design looks really old fashioned compared to here in Europe more a train from 1979 not 2019
That explains why I find these trains rather attractive. Unfortunately the newish livery with the yellow and blue 'flash' looks to have been designed by amateurs -probably within the MTA - who consider themselves to be talented commercial artists.....yet obviously know nothing about design. There are a lot of people like that in government organisations in the UK.... and in the US too, it appears.
But the M3 are the old fashioned trains from the 1980s. Those are the old trains and look nothing like the M9.
Honestly a ton of the new European trains look horrendous.
@@uk-martin4905 If I'm being honest, I prefer this livery. The old one they had planned (solid yellow on the cab ends) was too garish.
I agree the design looks incredibly outdated as well as like it's trying to scare commuters away from the train instead of onboard. Like why that silver surface? Doesn't look appealing to get on board at all. And those tiny windows, you barely get any daylight in, wtf? And also wouldn't it be a good idea with bigger, double doors on a train like this considering it's an urban, high frequency, S train like system.
R211/M7
This looks like something for Metro North am I right?
Nah, LIRR.
yes also for metro north
ik they sound like M8s
Why did the doors on the wrong side of the train open? That first step would have been a doozy.
I guess to stop people getting on by opening on the correct side.
To test the doors without pax getting on the test train
