  • @ericschwartz3559
    @ericschwartz35593 ай бұрын

    When the Type 7s were overhauled, they received new HVAC systems (meaning heating and ac or cooling systems) on top of the trolley on the outside that are extremely loud. Not only are the new HVAC systems loud, but the lights inside are so bright that the three blind mice could see in them, they’re so bright. You could do surgery under those interior lights. The old reddish-orange fluorescent lighting was replaced with new, more energy-efficient, longer-lasting and better white LED lighting for improved life. The rebuilt Type 7s were much different sounding and louder than the usual cars you’d see (of course, before they were rebuilt), this includes the Type 8s.

I used to be self conscious filming or seeking out public transit in the city (suburbs, country no problem), but you just have to remind yourself: no. one. cares. I don't like to film people for long period of time, though, which comes into play for ridealongs more than station vids. So I either move away, make it obvious I'm filming, and blur if someone's in the shot for a long time. FAIR LOL. My family wouldn't see but if they could they'd know exactly what I was doing Stay safe. I do tell family or friends if I'm railfanning in an less populated area.

    I miss the way Kendall station used to be years ago thru the mid 80s. I worked across from the station and would go in the sub shop for lunch above the station. There was a staircase toward the back to the subway and while I ate lunch with friends I loved listening to red line trains coming and going into the station. Loving trains as I do it made me anxious to finish work and hop on a train home. Great memories. To think I was only in my 20s then. 64 now. Long time ago.

  • @PneumonicDevices
    @PneumonicDevices3 ай бұрын

    Thank you for sharing. This is a great memory. I don't have much personal longitudinal data for Kendall. I am in my working 20s now, the environs are mainly construction, big tech buildings, and the food close to the station is too expensive to buy... As a train lover my commutes and watching the RL haul in at rush hour are also highlights for me. Older inbound trains still roll into Kendall pretty fast during rush which is awesome. One of the best sounds.

    The car in front of you, Type 7, was built by Kinki Sharyo of Osaka, Japan in 1986-1987 and again in 1997 and overhauled by Alstom Transportation in Hornell, NY between 2014 and 2019. The car you were in, Type 8, was built by AnsaldoBreda of Pistoia, Italy between 1998 and 2007. The 1500s/1600s are currently the oldest heavy rail cars in service, however, the oldest light rail streetcars in service are the Mattapan High Speed Line PCCs which date back to the 1940s.

    I am currently gathering upwards of one hour of footage just of the squeaks. I’ve been doing it incrementally for a few months now. It includes footage from above ground where the squeak is still insanely audible. Why do I do this? Who knows. Maybe it could be a useful tool for torture.

  • @ericschwartz3559
    @ericschwartz35593 ай бұрын

    Absolutely, can get very loud down there at times. The curve I’d say is an ear drum destroyer. But don’t get me wrong, it’s a very fun curve. Also, when you’re standing right next to the head house (the entrance to the station) at street level, you can hear the squeak of trains on the curve entering and exiting the station. I liked watching car 3685 in front of the car you were in start turning then, the Type 8 following along too. That was my favorite part. 😊 Boylston has to be no doubt, the loudest station on the entire MBTA network.
