Green Line Type 9 Thread

[Type 7 3684]

Didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

Just an observation: the lead car is numbered 3900, while the trailing car does not appear to have a number.

It shows up as 3901 on tracking sites when active.

It's almost 2019 and the T is still using those clunky metal advertising racks.

Better than using the sticker ads that ruin the paint when taken off.

Per the FMCB board meeting today, 3900 is scheduled to begin service starting this week. 3901 is supposed to follow sometime in January.

I have a bug in my code, so until I get a chance to fix it here's what you can try:
https://sites.harvard.edu/~wuensch/T/subway-map.html#trains and click the "Show a detailed table" button, then click on the header (top row) of the column "Lead Car No." and if they are active 3900/3901 should appear at the top.

After I fix the bug, once again you will be able to add "?car=XXXX" onto the URL like before so at that point these URLs should work:
https://sites.harvard.edu/~wuensch/T/subway-map.html?car=3900
https://sites.harvard.edu/~wuensch/T/subway-map.html?car=3901

Fingers crossed I should be able to make that fix this week. (My real job has kept me really busy lately!)

Geez how about that! Just a few minutes after that last post THEY ARE OUT ON A TRIP.

Lead Car 3900, Green Line D Inbound to Government Center, STOPPED_AT Woodland predicted departure at 12:38 PM

Also 3901 showed up in the data for a moment just now. It was approaching Kenmore on a D trip inbound.

Apparently they are running as single car trips at the moment, if the data is correct.

Nope - looped at Kenmore - 3901 now heading back out on D.

3900 was just testing, not in revenue service yet.

Thank you so much!!!! I'll be in Boston for just a few days at year's end, and this will make it vastly easier to see a Type 9.

[Type 7 3684]

3900 has been accepted for service according to NETransit. The first run is expected by tomorrow.

[csor2010]

Stefan's tracker currently shows 3900 as a one-car D train, approaching Gov't Center inbound.
