Something would catch even with some spray on hydro seed? I noticed they sprayed some around the 75st. overpass.
Wait, what the heck? when did a mockup for the new LRVs get delivered?! I WANNA SEE
thanks for sharing this. these interiors look like a spaceship. i worry about some of the lights and screens getting vandalized/freezing/failing prematurely, but these are pretty slick trains! Hopefully they are as reliable as the Flexities. Is this model/chassis in use anywhere else? it looks like Hyundai Rotem delivered LRVs to Warsaw, but idk if that's the same model or not.
I mean to be fair, the Capital Line has ran two different trainsets of entirely differently models seemingly OK now for a decade and a half.Anyone else foresee problems with two different trainsets from two different manufacturers running on the same line?
Yes but both trainsets on the Capital and Metro Line (U2 and SD-160) are Siemens products so you're only dealing with one manufacturer. And besides, Calgary was already doing it successfully before Edmonton did: they introduced the SD-160s on their LRT alongside the U2s before we did on ours. By contrast nobody to my knowledge is running both Bombardier and Hyundai Rotem low-floor trains on the same line.I mean to be fair, the Capital Line has ran two different trainsets of entirely differently models seemingly OK now for a decade and a half.
