you'll never see an MU train with 14 carsI know the LIRR runs max 12 car MU consists. The M-7 is designed to run up to 14...it's simply a factual statement.

And you'll see I always say "On paper", or "supposedly", etc. , when discussing the equipment specifications.
I know the equipment does things it's not supposed to do.
I've certainly seen my share of things that "cannot happen":
Doors open at 80 mph; R-1 crew door opens when you turn on the headlights; cars sitting in the yard drawing propulsion power with no PKO, PIR, or brake pipe; etc., etc, etc.
If you tell me M-7s are tripping substations, I do believe you. They're just not "supposed" to.
