Those 2000s still don't have poles.Speaking of the 4000s, I rode on them two years ago on the same day Thomas the Tank Engine was there. They dragged out every single commuter car in their collection to accommodate the mob of people. Anyway, it was a three-car train of 4000s (4290-4410-4412) and just as we got onto the mainline, the breaker tripped and we lost power. We coasted to a stop and when the motorman radioed that we'd lost power, the response he got was, "Ouch!" About a minute later the power came back on and we proceeded. Those cars can really move; the gears got up to A-440. |
