Slippery rail season causes delays every fall on the @MBTA_CR, but a new laser train promises to reduce delays and save money. @NBC10 https://t.co/0KVXVuaSBf
Combining the improved cleaning and the cleaning 95% of the railroad will eliminate flatspots and will make the fleet drive on time during low-adhesion-season. 🚂🚂🚀
Laser cleaning action at 60mph on the Metro North Railroad. This year R&D focussed on hitting the running band exactly, and to improve the laser cleaning effect. Last year the LaserTrain reduced slip and low adhesion by 45% with 80% of the network cleaned.
This is the Bell Labs Produced film on the invention of the coherent light LASER.
One of the best documentaries I watched in my High School AV film room.
May be the first time seen widely in 30 years.
