This is a pic of our new Type 5 car, my friend Rick and I got permission from the shop to go into the bay where this is stored to peek at it! It is more streamlined than our bubble front type 4 cars!
It is car 521, surprised they didn’t start with the number 500! tee hee!
Small side window unlike the windows on our older cars that one could crawl out of, not that anyone has ever had too! This window opening is very small!
These cars have mirrors instead of cameras like we have on our type four cars.
My train pet pomeranian named Bandit and I on our early morning day at o-dark-30! tee hee
The sun is trying to peek out from the fog this morning!
Yay so happy that tomorrow is Friday! Absolutely love the weekend!

Wow – love the tiny look at the Type 5’s! But that side window – how do you feel about it being so small? Might that not be a safety issue in case the operator needs to get out quickly (fire, collision – heaven forbid!)? There is only one way out, and that’s through the cab door. Other than that, I like what I see!

PS I have a new blog; I have transferred all my old posts to it – click on my EMS!
I wished the side window wasn’t so small, takes away our possible escape route
Oh my gosh, it LOOKS like Bandit!!! Cute!!

I always think about Bandit when I take the stuffed animal with me. He’s a favorite
