Title: 100th project special - El Garcia Railway Crossing! 100th project - Yay! This is a train passing at a level crossing located a few kilometers away from El Garcia's Central Train Station. The train comes from one of EGTS's depots and is moving towards EG's main station. This crossing has been put in service in November of 2004. On this crossing, there are 4 full-size barriers, 4 traffic lights and a Roshni sounder. When a train comes, the Roshni goes off, the lights blinks and then the barriers go down. And if your road vehicle is stuck between the barriers, you can break them to escape. This crossing also has 4 "train warning" pictograms which reminds me of german crossings and you can also see 2x 25 kV AC overhead lines and 2 rail tracks. Here are the technical specs of the train: - Brand: Alstom. - Train model: SPT DD G2A (SNCF Z 24500/CFL 2200 based regional train for EGTS). - Family: Coradia Duplex. - Operator: EGTS (El Garcia Transportation Services). - Unit number: SPT DD G2A 0001/0002. - Date of commissioning: January 6th of 2005. - Type: Double decker regional electric multiple unit. - Number of coaches: 3, all motorized. - Seating capacity: 339 seats (41 in 1st class and 298 in 2nd class). - Horn type: 2-tone. - Years of production: 2005-2011 (Applies for G2B too which is the 5-car version of the same trainset). - Traction system: Alstom Onix IGBT-VVVF. - Maximum speed: 160 km/h (100 mph). - Coupling system: Scharfenberg. - Current collection systems: 2 pantographs. - Power supply: 25 kV AC 50/60 Hz overhead or 1.5 kV DC overhead. - Acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph): 35 seconds (Or about 0.79 m/s^2). - Accessibility: Yes. - My opinion about this train: A really nice, comfortable, modern, fast-accelerating and accessible double-deck regional train with an epic sounding VF drive! Also, the SPT DD G2A 0001/0002 is the very first SPT DD G2 series train commissionned by EGTS on Jan. 6th 2005, along with the SPT DD G2B which has been put in service on Jan. 7th of 2005.
