The modern trains that have been in use since 1989 are each 203' 6" feet long (consisting of six cars) and can carry 364 passengers. The trains are driven by eight 113 HP motors which are powered by a 600-volt electrical system running through a busbar mounted on each side of the concrete beam. [5] Each train also has seven inverters on board that convert the 600 VDC to 230 VAC for use by the air conditioners and air compressor, and additionally has a battery-backed 35 VDC low-voltage supply that provides power for the train's electronics. The trains are also equipped with a towing knuckle at each end to allow it to be pushed or pulled by a special diesel-powered tractor if need be. Maximum speed during normal operations is 40 mph, with several speed zones throughout the system with limits ranging from 15 to 40 mph.[citation needed] These speed limits are strictly enforced by the train's computer and cannot be overridden without the operator engaging a special lockout. Attempting to drive the train too quickly in a given speed zone will result in an "overspeed stop", often subjecting the driver to good-natured ridicule by his co-workers. Train spacing is maintained by the Moving Blocklight System (MBS), also known as the MAPO (for "Mary Poppins") system, which establishes a number of "holdpoints" throughout the system.[citation needed] At any given time, there must be at least two holdpoints between a given train and the train ahead of it. When the train detects that there are fewer than two holdpoints between itself and the preceding train, the emergency brakes are immediately applied and cannot be released until sufficient spacing becomes available or the operator explicitly overrides the system. Failure to maintain adequate spacing is known as an "overrun", and is treated as an extremely serious offense.

You were left off because I listed the better halves of all the men Mikey listed as being willing to rescue Big Red. I thew in his own wife, who has made her feelings known (why else would she have a screen name like Tart Annihilator!) as well as Mother Goose, since she is a well known BR hater. He didn't list Mack, I'm guessing because you both have made your opinions of Big Red VERY public! But you are welcome to join the 'tart assassination' plot, if she doesn't behave. I have offered the use of my balcony if we need a more private place to do the deed. I think Deck 7 should be high enough!

Sure, and we can bounce her off of the ceiling of your verandah a few times first. BTW...Do we have to make sure that Frank is not around anywhere first? ;)

Ah, I get it - and on your balcony, nobody will need to give her a leg up! Great thinking!

Perfect.:thumbsup2

G'night folks... I think you've suffered enough for one day:goodvibes

More suffering tomorrow though:rotfl2:

I'll "suffer" through some more, anytime Karen. :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

I've uploaded my pics, but won't be able to post them until tomorrow or Monday. I'm not on my own computer and the software I like to work with is not on here.

They're coming, though!
