- READ:
As we rapidly approach the start date of the 30-day revenue service test for the M9s (which is estimated to begin some time in May 2019, I believe), non-revenue testing has ramped up over the last few months. The train is now doing a somewhat regular mid-day test, making several round trips between Hicksville and Ronkonkoma, making simulated stops in order to test the doors, automated announcements, and other vital systems ahead of the in-service test. Enjoy the action =)
Note:
The horn as most have noticed is no longer the classic Leslie RS-2M. Leslie's prices have skyrocketed as of late, so the railroad has opted to use Nathan Airchime horns instead. The horns on the M9s are a Nathan K2H horn with K bells 2 and 3B. Additionally, it sounds like a single diaphragm is being used in the 2 bell instead of the standard double diaphragm, which is why the pitch changes on the 2 bell as the airflow from the valve increases. I will attempt to recreate this horn, as I have the K2H manifold, a raised letter 2 bell, and will soon possess a raised letter 3B bell (modified from a 3 bell). Stay tuned!
The front of the train just looks more appealing. I can't wait to see these really start rolling out. But for sure gonna miss the M3's.
Disagree 100%. The flipping of the head and marker lights makes for a much clumsier dopey looking front end. This is a step backward in design in my opinion. Not sure why they had to fix what wasn't broken.
M3's aren't going anywhere for the foreseeable future. I'd be surprised if they were gone before 2025.
New m9 horn still *BEAUTIFUL*
2 questions how do you find out wen the tests are and do they do them during wekinds and if they do then wen thx
I love the new female voiceover although, this is just for nostalgic reasons, I'll miss the male voiceover only because I remember hearing them on the C-3s when I was a kid.
Dream Journal Projects that is something I will miss as well
I've only ridden the LIRR a few times (i don't live in NY) and I liked the ones on the M7s. I think they should have stuck with the same voice overs
The propulsions of the M9 sounds identical to the WMATA 7000 series
RIGHT!
Exciting video!! Thanks for sharing.
The M9s look amazing. Hopefully we will see the yellow one soon. We also have a new voice for the announcements.
None of them are coming in yellow.
Well that kinda sucks...but again it’s Cuomo.
Awesome catch!
Comment down the loan fan railer can you try to ride on the M9 train
Does anyone see that the trucks look a little bit similar to the R179
They do, but they're manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, not Bombardier Transportation
Maybe the third rail mounts
No.
Are you sure?
Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait, does the M9 train sounds to the R179? Yes or No?
How do you know the test schedule and what is it? Thanks in advance!
read the description
I see! I want to catch them, but I’m kinda far from the KO Branch. Is Pinelawn still a good place for railfanning?
Gotta admit that K2H sounds better than the RS2M
Captain Transit LMAO K2
HOW can there be flat spots on trains that haven't even entered revenue service? I think those are flat spots I'm hearing!
I think it has the same propulsion as the M8 and Silverliner V
Both are from Kawasaki.
Nope... Same propulsion as the M8, yes. But the Silverliner V was built by Rotem and I'm pretty sure it uses a different model of misubishi propulsion than the one used on the M8 and M9.
@@FanRailer They sound very similar, though, and the V's also use Mitsubishi traction motors and inverters
@@FanRailer I would like to apologize. By 'both', I meant the M-8 and M-9. Although I didn't know that Rotem made the Silverliners. Thanks for letting me know.
looks like someone is flipping the bird at you at 2:03 lol.
lol he's probably just holding something.
You don't have any idea who the new announcers name is do you ? Lol
It Will Replace M3s Right
Kirby Goes Vlogs And More yeah
I don’t really like that horn on that m9 they do look nice to be honest but it’s a dame that they are retiring the old budds me myself having an ex M3 Leslie RS2M is a great thing to have, I have multiple parts for it sounds great have it mounted to my truck and I only use it for run byes and to tell people to get out of my way!
It doesn't sound like R179 train.
M9s my train
Damn, they already have flat spots on the wheels
How can you tell?
... you can hear it
@@FanRailer Thanks for the info, I didnt notice it before.
Typical for LIRR track......
It sounds like a LIRR version of the R179
But way different
The propulsion almost sounds like the M8
Etho Smith, that’s because they both have Mitsubishi Electric AC Traction motors
I really hope they arent going with that new announcement program...
LOL son it's already set in stone
@@FanRailer WHY GOD WHYYYYYY
2:30 oops
Yay the m3’s will stay in service because there are not enough m7’s and m9’s
Fast!!!
Interesting
