Cool to see them running! Need to head down to Baltimore to try them when they enter service, especially since they could be an indicator of what the new cars for the Market-Frankford Line in Philadelphia could be like, since they picked Hitachi to be the builder recently. Narrower loading gauge compared to Baltimore, I know, but could be interesting regardless.
On one hand, Maybe Hitachi might continue making the AnsaldoBreda designed systems. But on the other hand, maybe Hitachi might phase out the AnsaldoBreda systems for actual Hitachi systems that have been used in Japanese metro systems. Septa and WMATA both ordered Hitachi trains after the merger with AnsaldoBreda, whereas Miami and Baltimore ordered these trains while AnsaldoBreda was still around.
@Blank00 I am not sure to be honest, but maybe similar. Also note that these and Miami's were built at the same plant in Florida. WMATA's 8000 series will be built in Maryland.
@ I hope so, but I’m not sure. They will be made by Hitachi Rail in Hagerstown, MD, as opposed to Hitachi Rail Italy (formerly AnsaldoBreda) in Miami, Florida, so they may be different.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions Hagerstown, Maryland! I remember hearing Adam Tuss on the news saying that Metro's brand new 8000-Series Train, (The *_REAL_* deal!!!) are being built in Hagerstown, Maryland! I'm so hyped up for its premiere coming soon!
Woah these cars look good. These have regular seats facing their direction. The LA subway built by CRRC will unfortunately have side streets (which I’m not a fan of).
@@michealguillen8496 not even close. These trains use propulsion systems designed by an Italian company that merged. The M7 gets their propulsion systems from Mitsubishi, which has been Japanese for its entire existence
AnsaldoBreda style propulsion inverter sounds! Very Italian! Edit: I do love the chopper sounds of the old Budd coaches! Anyone know who manufactured the choppers for these? Westinghouse perhaps?
@@blue9multimediagroup I did a quick search, indeed the Budd Universal Transit Vehicles do use Westinghouse chopper like I predicted! IGBT, however, is just a type of switching element which indeed does whine, but that does not immediately mean that it is not a chopper! The new Hitachi vehicles use VVVF Inverters to power 3-Phase AC motors while the old Budds use a chopper to control the DC motors. The Hitachi would indeed most likely use IGBTs as the switching elements for its VVVF inverter. However, its most likely for the Budd to use GTOs for its switching elements instead considering the cars were made in the 80s.
The old Budd trains use Westinghouse propulsion and those are DC motors with GTO Thyristors. The new Hitachi trains are using IGBT inverters and basically a nearly identical propulsion system to what Miami used on their trains. One thing that Baltimore usually does is they tend to co-develop their trains with Miami and has made that a practice since both systems opened in the 1980's.
The old subway are better it's faster than new ones I can't wait to Ride on new subway trains mta should upgrade lights rail trains as well they been around since 1992
More likely to be IGBTs! GTO Thyristors have become obsolete in the 21st century. IGBTs tend to be much more efficient, and tend to have higher switching frequencies!
Ok, I've never seen this train before! Good acceleration and is a very cute, tiny little train, 8.5/10 😃
They look somewhat similar to the new subway cars that recently went into service for Los Angeles. But the Hitachis look way, way better.
Beautiful video my friend. Nice work. Greetings. :) BIG LIKE

I live next to Maryland, can't wait to go see those!
I’m glad these have the same propulsion as miami now I don’t have to travel far
However as we know, Budd don't break.
These are literally the modern Miami Metrorail cars with modern headlights.
YES!! They sound just like Miami's!!
They have some of the coolest propulsion sounds of any rolling stock made in the last 10 years
Do you think the WMATA 8000 series and Market Frankfort M5 trains will sound like this too?

Damn, the old train is now pissed (ima miss it btw)
It's the news that Baltimore commuters have been waiting to hear! The Hitachi trains are coming before you know it!
Looks just like the r211
Not quite, but similar with the lights
The new train horns sound like those scooter vehicles you see in India.
Woah these cars look good. These have regular seats facing their direction. The LA subway built by CRRC will unfortunately have side streets (which I’m not a fan of).
Fun fact they used one set of these on the testing of the B line (LA Metro) before they opened the line to the public
The Budds? You got any recordings of this or proof, I’m genuinely interested in this
@@YourAverageRailfan I saw photos of it on Twitter someone posted them
Alr thanks a lot, Stay safe!
I did NOT expect this video to blow up. Tysm everyone!
that's a crazy sound
Looks like the new LACMTA subway trains made by CRRC
Only the yellow
@Bloor25 Just wish the sides were a lil more colorful
It is the same as the LIRR M7 VERSIONS motions traction
Well done, brother 👏 👍 gladly baoiltmore

That's not a chopper. That's more than likely IGBT since they tend to whine like that.

Looks just like the
1:16 They had to be testing emergency stop. Also, I kind of knew they would sound just like Miami's
We're finally getting some new trains! I prefer the old horn though. It sounds more natural. The new one is a bit high pitched.
The new train's motor sounds like Miami Metrorail and Honolulu Skyline trains
they're the same model as the miami trains and were a joint order i believe (just like the original budd cars)
@@cornkopp2985yup
Joint order for the second time
You can hear the Hitchi style gearboxes too
Budd is still around?
Same Motor Sound As The Miami Metro!
You think the WMATA 8000 series will sound the same? They probably will since you know same manufacturer.
And the same motor sound as the Honolulu Skyline
@@TheRailcarbusDUDE I don't know at this I'll take a guess probably because I'm a WMATA Of Metro Railcars
These trains honestly look newer than the Miami trains
@@thealexpshow782 They really do
Front and back looks like the R211
Nah
I say 211-ish 😂😂😂
@@BDavinci06 lol yeah
Wow it sounds like it has gto thyristor
More likely to be IGBTs! GTO Thyristors have become obsolete in the 21st century. IGBTs tend to be much more efficient, and tend to have higher switching frequencies!
They are IGBT inverters. GTO was phased out by the late 1990's-early 2000's on new train projects.
@@graythewolf6096 yeah I know the funny part is why it still sounds like one. Which is cool asf!
@@tomwujek4867 yep I know. It's just cool to hear them sounding like a GTO.
@@graythewolf6096It also sounds like the Copenhagen metro.
I hope they will save some old cars for the Baltimore Streetcar museum...
Or the B&O Railroad Museum
I am also from baltimore
They look like LA’s new subway😂
I wish MARTA has these
They're getting new cars from STADLER
They're getting the Toronto
Rockets style cars but built by Stadler
Are they walk through?
Unfortunately, no
