Being that the brakes appeared to release behind the defective car as it rolled out of the station, any delayed release in the car (likely a defective release magnet valve) would have been overcome by the surrounding cars. Also likely the the angle cocks and electric brake were working and properly set since the train was not dragging brakes AFTER the lurching. Since most T/Os do not release to zero before going to power to avoid the constst rolling back, there would be small pressures present and was not the culprit that would have launched that train as violently as the motors would have. |

Seems like the bad old days of the 1970's when the R-42's were starting to show a little age.Seems like you guys were having a lot of fun wit it! |

I'd guess that it comes to an analysis of the needs of the service versus the cost of repairing that R42 and the condition of other SMEE equipment. If there are insufficient R160s available for service, the TA will (or should) likely shop the SMEEs that can be kept on the road most economically. That may or may not include set 4642/3. If the R42 start failing en mass, they might need to make other fleet moves. It all depends.But I do think it's a safe bet that they'll do as little work as possible on car classes that are all designated for the reef. It's just a question as to what qualifies as the "least possible". As you yourself indicated, "back in the day" R10s and R16s in similar or worse conditions ran 'cause there was nothing else. |

Either way, that was one shaky trip from Franklin to Bergen, plus I was 7 at the time, so that's all I can remember, so sorry for the misinformation |

Nothing like the smell of asbestos in the morning. I saw a commercial van with smoke issuing from the rear drums while filling up at a gas station on southbound 1-9 a couple of years back when I started picking out of NWP. When I pointed it out to the driver, he laughed and told me not to worry he was only going to Secaucus. Shortly after I filled up my motorcycle to continue to Harrison Rt 3 via 21S, I spotted him backing away from the van on the shoulder of West 3 after dumping his second extinguisher to no avail. At least after I tooted at him he was nice enough not to salute me with only one finger. I could see the black smoke rising from the full tank he blew up halfway from Clifton |

Yeah, after the initial shock it looks like everyone on the train was getting a kick out of it and laughing with each other.A another New York moment! |

Well, my brake situation wasn't that bad. It was a brake line problem, air in the lines. Should have had them bled to get the bubbles out but I was a poor student at the time and couldn't afford the repair. |
