How often does the "School of Arts Train" run?Amfleet said:"The School of Arts" train is just a Tri-Rail train that apparently carries students to a School of Art in West Palm Beach. I learned this from the baggage handler when I was on the platform waiting for the Meteor.
The special going to DC is run every year and takes West Palm Beach public (middle??) school students for a feild trip in DC. It's a big deal because when I was down there I heard some older woman at the pool mention that her grandson was going on it.
I think it's just a regualr scheduled train that runs on the mornings and afternoons on weekdays, but railfans give it that name. The train also could be charted just for the school students. I'm not sure.Viewliner said:How often does the "School of Arts Train" run?Amfleet said:"The School of Arts" train is just a Tri-Rail train that apparently carries students to a School of Art in West Palm Beach.

While much of the hard steel frame remains in a cabbage, you can basically forget about its heavy weight.Amfleet said:At least a locomotive can support some force with its heavy weight.
No, I said the Cabbage's are safer than the ex-Metroliner cabs. But as Alan said the Cabbage's do have a sturdier frame and do not carry passegers. Also the engineer is higher up off the ground. Every MBTA commuter train I've been on I have never seen them open to passengers. Maybe for safety reasons?Viewliner said:Okay, so are you saying the ex-metroliner cabs are more superior (safer) than a Cabbage?
Actually, only MNRR and LIRR have a real majority of MU's. NJ Transit uses mainly push-pull and won't be buying anymore MU's because of their maintenence costs.Amfleet said:I've actually never traveled during rush-hour say they may open up the cab-car. On LIRR, MN, and NJT they operate mostly MU's so they open up the cab car anyway. When I was on MN from NHV to NYC(GC) we sat in the head-end cab car. I was able to view out the front. It was neat.
