MTA Long Island Rail Road [LIRR] Kawasaki M9 Action @ Kew Gardens & Cedarhurst (2/15/21)

READ:
After that recent news article about the rarity of finding M9s in service, I felt compelled to go hunting for them on Presidents Day. It appears that there were at least 5 trainsets of M9s in service today, of which we found 3. Enjoy =)

The M9s remind me of the R179s becuase of the propulsion

[@42ndStreetShuttle]

They remind me of the M8’s I feel like they sound more like those

[@Lirrfilmer2004]

The M9 you saw at Cedarhurst I saw it today at valley. Did you caught the alcohol train at Cedarhurst as well?

Great video! It is interesting to look at the daily life of the city!) L122

as a wise train once said, “simply beautiful”

[@railsofthelirr405]

Amazing action and I subscribed!

[@lindsaymoore7232]

Hi, they look like they came from Europe. Very odd looking. What is the length of one car? 70Ft?

[@fmartino100]

I've seen them on the Long Beach branch and they are amazing...

[@kitsunefaye1661]

The M9 sounds like the R160B-2 and Hot Rod 179! She's pretty too.

[@rolandsanchez623]

Beautiful Train 😊👌

Saw another pair of M9's come down CSX this week. Should be in the system soon

[@palsupria3422]

I like the m9

[@davidng2336]

I know they’ve been having issues lately, thus their rarity. I hope everything will be solved in the future.

[@metro-northrailroadproduct5043]

They sound like the M8

Speeeeeeed

[@chrisfrailfan7541]

Are the M9's still being tested or are they actually hauling people

[@AVeryRandomPerson]

They've been in Revenue Service since 9/11/19

[@heavygaming1254]

They’re hauling people.

[@Trainmaster909]

A Very Random Person strange date to put them into service

[@trijetz3562]

I rode on one a few months back. Yes, they are in service.

[@Ray_H-fd9zt]

Nice catch!

[@dennisschafer4883]

nice

[@JonathanChan212]

NGL, I think they sound a lot like SiC-VVVF more than IGBT. Just use JR East E235 to compare.

[@mtanyctfan8100]

How come there’s less M9s in service
