Title: IRT Action on May 6th, 2013 (With R188 Testing and Detailed Observations)
Post by: Fan Railer on May 11, 2013, 04:37:02 pm
I was able to verify and discover a few things. All axles on the A cars are powered, while the trucks at the number two end of the B and C cars are unpowered with the trucks at the number one end of those cars powered. It is also interesting to note that the inboard axles of the unpowered trucks on the C cars lack friction brake units.
The R188s of the day:
