Thanh you very much

[@Mr-blue584]

led headlight looking better

[@Hotters9060]

That's a beautiful locomotive 🚂

[@txrnadotylxr]

I saw this train testing on the Wabtec Test Track in another video :D

[@HaroldAlexis-bb8sd]

Excellent video presentation DJ Hammers. These Engines look awesome, they're look alikes to the ones on Metro North Railroad. 👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic work DJ 👍 1:50

W catch + Today’s my birthday

Happy birthday

[@jjinnyc75]

What a beauty

[@OnTheRailsNYC]

Cool!

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

When you forget that the track gauge is the same on IRT, IND, and BMT lines.... Just the width of the cab!😂 I noticed how this new locomotive effortlessly navigated a line from each of the old competing companies. Note the miniscule gap between cab and platform at the Zerega Avenue Station (1:05). But the noticeable gap at Bedford Park Blvd Station (4:55). Ah, remnants of the pre-unified subway system...❤

[@Chris-zs5qb]

They are technically the same throughout the US

[@kemchho1212]

Track gauges are same throughout the system but IRT (A-Division, number trains) is narrower than IND/BMT (B-Division, letter trains) . All NYCT work trains are built to IRT clearances so they can navigate the entire system. One will obviously note more platform gap when work train is passing IND/BMT stations

[@docphillips5153]

Nice catch, thanks for sharing. I notice that the in service version has 3rd rail pickup, so I guess it is actually Tri-Power? The Wabtec videos did not show the shoes.

[@MtaTrainsFan]

Are they the same like the yellow one?

[@rnickens1999]

OL vs HL in the numbering scheme, is the any meaning? Like HL for hybrid locomotive?

[@Allyn65]

What's the difference between this and the 156

[@edrickang2338]

255s are Hybrid Locomotives, they have battery which can last up to 9-hours which can limit diesel emissions in underground work zones. The battery can be charged from the engine or third rail.

[@mckennisbowers4475]

Ooooh 💯🔥👍

[@rayofsunshine098]

Question, why don’t they just use the 3rd rail that’s right there?

[@metropod]

Because the entire purpose of these machines is to operate in areas where the third rail is shut down, or not there at all. The battery takes over in the work area to keep the air clear.

[@dodge1515]

How many units are they getting for the R-255 order?

[@kemchho1212]

25 base contract with 45 options

[@dodge1515]

@@kemchho1212 Are they replacing older work Locos like the R47s and R52s?

[@scottyerkes1867]

Cool🥰🤞👌

[@eeejaytrainz2902]

Whos the manufacturer?

[@edrickang2338]

MotivePower (Wabtec)

[@HaroldAlexis-bb8sd]

​​@@edrickang2338 I saw these Engines on another video being tested by Wabtec by other GE locomotives.

munipals better make an r255

[@franciscodolores7535]

Amtrak Light

[@TSgotstolengoddamm]

i wonder if they are a married pair or can be operated seperately

[@TSSmina]

They can be operated in almost ANY kind of configuration. Married-pairs, Single units (as designed), of course.

[@marlonmendoza528]

Why is it green

[@EndMii619]

green to indicate its a diesel-battery hybrid locomotive ig

[@RascalTrainz]

Why not make it duel mode to run it from the third rail

[@sirizalot]

​@@RascalTrainz"duel mode" implies a swordfight or something while the locomotive is traveling dangerously fast with no one at the controls

[@cats0182]

@@sirizalot I think he means DUAL MODE. I think these locos have to operate even if the 3rd rail is not usable. If you want to go that route, you'd have to make the locos "tri-mode"-diesel, battery, 3rd rail.

[@Hogdriver88]

Green energy, like a Toyota Prius. The engineers are only allowed to drink soy lattés while operating them 😁

[@NBaBall3r26]

causing train delay

[@AlexanderTheSimmer]

It's a Diesel to Electric Engine like the NJ transit ALP45. another Hybrid Electric Engine were it can switch from Diesel to Electric, and Electric to Diesel.

[@MUNIPALS_OFFICAL]

Bro this is so insane I’ve never seen a mta update the work trains

I bet you guys don’t watch the video first
