Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Fri Oct 17 11:52:04 2014, in response to Re: BART's new car: Bombardier mock up at APTA, posted by Jersey Mike on Fri Oct 17 07:49:43 2014. I was wondering about a potential railfan view. It looks like (kinda hard to tell from the angle) that there may be a view on the right side of the car (as viewed from inside). IIRC, BART T/Os sit on the right side.The current C and C2 cars, IIRC, have little to no RFV. The A cars have kind of one, you have to sit in the seat on the left side by the cab and look over your shoulder, since the seat faces away from the cab. I did that once or twice, may have even taken a pic (which I may not yet have scanned). I do remember I could see most of the operator's console, including the speed readings (3 indications, one was reading "80" (maximu speed?), the other "68" (maybe limiting speed for whatever block the train occupied) and the third was the actual train speed. Actually, the 68 was through the TransBay Tube, I was a little disappointed that the speed limit wasn't closer to 80, maybe that was due to spacing and/or schedule limits. |
