The M7s also use 2X the electricity, tear up track, are noisy as fuck when the wheels get flat spots, are slow as shit, and ride like crap.The bathroom location is totally wrong, it wastes space and leaks everywhere, the seats suck, the doors are slow and noisy, the door closing signal is irritating as hell (plus narrow spectrum, i.e. partially deaf people can't hear it as well as the old bell), the reliability will dive into the gutter in about another 6 years when the DC link capacitors start failing, becvause the LIRR can't ever be bothered to do prevenitive maintenance on anything. The M-7s are hardly progress, they're basically a 50's railcar with an AC inverter drive instead on unit switch. As for the diesel fleet? The LIRR should dump it now for something better. those things are dogs and the whole planet knows it. |
