SEPTA Silverliner V Morning

[@trainman1971]

Just one line. SEPTA Route 127 comes to Trenton from Morrisville, Oxford Valley, and Neshaminy Mall. On Sunday, 30 SEPTA buses were loaned to Suburban Transit to assist in providing shuttle service between northern NJ to NYC in the aftermath of Sandy. They will remain there until no longer needed and returned. It is part of a group of 200 buses coming from transit systems across the nation to assist in New Jersey.

And that's a nice announcement with the express train rather than describing stopping patterns.

That train originated at Chestnut Hill East on the RDG side, heading towards Trenton.

The motors and engines sound different than I imagined

[@trainman1971]

Not a problem! Happens to all of us at times :)

[@KevinMeno2008]

Silverliner Vs are currently not in service, all are grounded due to cracks found in the trucks on 95% (115 cars) of the fleet. The cracks are located on the equalizer beam.

I've not seen anything in my SEPTA bulletins stating otherwise yet, so the permitted maximum speed is still 90 for the Silverliner V's.

[@trainman1971]

@iJandiN2727 Currently, the top speed permitted is 90mph. Testing was recently completed that will allow them a top speed of 100, but those speeds will only happen on certain trains in Amtrak territory.

@LIRR175 He was running with a "Fern Rock via Center City Express" destination sign up.

@LIRR175 Makes it a lot simpler for multiple express patterns, yep.

[@stevefromPA2]

between newark and Wilmington the silvers run up to 96 mph....it was noted while watchin the trains speedometer...

[@LIRR175]

@trainman1971 726 isn't even an express.
