What's SCE?Originally posted by ^tamago^:Oh yeah. 39 SCE. So Home Academy got a dummy. -
Not so sure but I remember that incident too. They said it was lucky that procedures in place meant that trains cannot do most crossings (except those "defined" which are commonly used and PTO's have to double-check the actual position of switch) above 15km/h.Originally posted by Oceane:What was the cause of the derailment anyway?
Hmm... crossover track... must be the crossover tracks never set properly.

Just a note, I won't be updating my super-long list in this thread anymore... maybe Novawin can take over.
I've split up the list into many parts and I've made a thread to store all these:
http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=283231
The onus is on you, Novawin!!!
I'll post the latest update code here... anyone that wishes to take over can copy the code and continue to update from there:code:
Updated: 025/026 was spotted running as the refurbished train of the month for September, thanks to xFireHeaveNx. =)

But why 227/228 went on that track leh?Originally posted by ^tamago^:Not so sure but I remember that incident too. They said it was lucky that procedures in place meant that trains cannot do most crossings (except those "defined" which are commonly used and PTO's have to double-check the actual position of switch) above 15km/h.
Most trains going back to Bishan Depot in the direction of SB utilise the crossover tracks just before Bishan Depot. (i.e. the part whereby 3 tracks split into 4, there is a crossover just before that for trains travelling SB to cross into Depot tracks.) -
Look into NLB Microfilm collection at Victoria Street Library and search for 6 December 1993. They have the Microfilm there. I must say htat the two driver cabs involved were completely destroyed and the buffers snapped. Cause of incident was a slicky track from an oil leak of one of the maintenance trains the night before. I think the first train is 067/068 and the other is 043/044 ?Originally posted by Oceane:Mr. Manager433 care to give some details?
We all wanna know which 2 trainsets kena rammed. -

Actually, the crossover track was set if I can remembered it correctly. The two switch points of the crossover track which help to move the train wheel over to next track are being aligned when it is being switched but one of the 2 switch points was not aligned properly, thus it caused one of the front train wheel to move off the track, resulting in the derailment.Originally posted by Oceane:What was the cause of the derailment anyway?
Hmm... crossover track... must be the crossover tracks never set properly.
According to The Straits Times newspapers of 1999, it reported that the 227/228 train was approaching the 2nd crossover track along SB to move onto middle track before AMK MRT station just after this train has ended its revenue service at Yishun during morning peak and was about to go back to Bishan depot. Then the train driver stopped the train when the traffic light was red so he waited until the traffic light became green before proceeding to move the train towards the 2nd crossover track. Unexpectedly, the train wheel suddenly went off the rail track resulting in the derailment. The train later broke down after being derailed.
About 15 - 20 SMRT men or technicians were needed to help putting the 3227 carriage back onto the track and I think this took about 4 hours alone to complete rerailing this train. The men used steel rod or something I can't remembered but no crane to lift the train back onto the track. -

If the traffic light was set to green, I can't imagine what else would happen... we wouldn't have the original 3227 car. -
You dun use steel rod to lift a train. You need to activate the derailment team ( wif their derailment vehicle ).
FYI, their new track number 5449 strike 4D and many many many many people tio $$$

But is it when 3227 derailed, the whole train also topple over? Because I don't think 3227 alone toppled (unless the intercarriage link snap into 2). -
Updates: 087/088 are refurbish train as i board it today on NSL.

Woo! Any pics?Originally posted by littlearea:Updates: 087/088 are refurbish train as i board it today on NSL. -
No topple over but dun know who the smart alex, activate a heavy duty crane and it was park just beside the incident train near the road outside AMK central.Originally posted by Oceane:LOL LOL LOL use steel rod to lift a train...

Your hp has Infrared-Red and Bluetooth? Your laptop has IR or bluetooth. You can use either to transfer pics from your hp to your laptop then you can upload the files.Originally posted by littlearea:Bw i dun have the cable to connect? -

SMRT has their own derailment vehicle??

Only front wheel of 3227 carriage toppled but the back wheel were not. The rest carriage was okay and still intacting on the tracks. You can find the pictures on The Straits Times in April 1999 but I can't remember the exact date.Originally posted by Oceane:LOL LOL LOL use steel rod to lift a train...

Your handphone what model one? Cos if later models maybe can buy USB Cables. -
Can anyone give more details about the money train? How is it different from the normal trains other than being 4 carriage long. When would it usually be deployed, and when was the last time it was seen. Thank you.
