I wonder if the Arnines still have the mooing motors and the swishing doors of my childhood.

Although I haven’t been there in a while, I don’t think they actually MU. They couple iron and air only and one tows the other in the appropriate direction. One of the members told me they used to do that with the Hi-V/Lo-V also.

I shall be going on the 8th (I couldn't make the 1st due to a friend visiting), and will hopefully make the noon train from Second Avenue and stay on the 1 P.M. train from the uptown terminus.

It is all the more important, I think, to appreciate these while we can, especially since they are no longer doing holiday runs of vintage buses.

I stand corrected,,thank you sir. I believe the only train line air is brake pipe so each compressor will operate separately and charge it's own MR pipe since there is no electric synchronizing switch.

Obviously yes, but why would that change ?

And the elect, for motors only, was a cable strung between the cars, but they operated together.

There was a G/O taking out Track B4 from 42 Street - Bryant Park to 59 Street - Columbus Circle, was there not? Northbound (D) trains were operating via Eighth Avenue, and thus, so was the holiday train.

Another well known rail buff once said “There’s no V like a Lo-V” to which I responded, “but my V is a Hi-V."
