Posted by Fytton on Wed May 24 04:25:39 2006, in response to Re: what do you mean by Underruning 3rd rail? (was LIRR ESA), posted by Rail Blue on Tue May 23 14:42:19 2006. Me: "And Southern EMUs are always at least two cars (married pairs in NYC parlance) and more commonly 3,4,5 or 6 cars."Rail Blue: "And often 8 (especially on the Western Section), or 10 or 12 on a few lines." I meant the lengths of the permanently-coupled multiple units. Of course, two or more of these can then be coupled together to make a longer train. As far as I recall, the longest actual coupled units were the old six-car units (6-PUL and 6-PAN units) on the Brighton line - the Brighton expresses usually consisted of one of each of these to make a 12-car train. |
