    Monorail system to operate on new timetable to accommodate automation work

    At this point in the project half the trains were to have the new system in place. Right now though they have one they don't know how to get to work and one they crashed a work tractor into and is missing a cab.

    Appalling state of the monorail cabins

    The problem stems back to only having ten active trains due to the incident with Lime and Teal being updated. For example Sunday when Orange had to be towed off Epcot it leaves the system with nine. The resort beam has four, Epcot beam has two so Express gets the last three. And if another train...

    Leadership reshuffle brings new Vice President to Epcot

    I'm not advocating expansion but the current state of transportation infrastructure other than the bus systems at the Magic Kingdom is mediocre at best. Monorails with mold, chipped paint and a knack for being hit by work tractors. Ferryboat system for the resorts that can barely handle a crowd...

    Leadership reshuffle brings new Vice President to Epcot

    I've heard that Kirk was part of the team that planned the expansion of the monorail system to Hollywood Studios. Hopefully this signals a change from bus loving upper management and will allow watercraft and monorails to not be left behind in investments.

    Hopefully this "promotion" for Sam has something to do with transportation being moved under the Resorts. A good cleaning of the current upper (bus loving) management couldn't hurt.

    Work Tractor Collides with Monorail Lime

    Also just to clarify it was Cab 1 of Lime that suffered damage. That is the cab that faces toward the Contemporary when any train is at the Transportation and Ticket Center. When a train is in shop it cab 6 is the farthest in and cab 1 is the closest to the doors. The paint beam when you look at...

    Work Tractor Collides with Monorail Lime

    On the morning of Saturday March 8 around 4:00 AM Monorail Lime was parked at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) on the Express beam for the night (stay out train) when it was struck by Work Tractor 1 at Cab 1, the cab towards the Contempory. The rumor is that the maintenance workers...

    Automated monorail system update

    Mapo controls spacing while the trains have a VOBC (vehicle on board computer) that monitors the speed of the train and speed zones. Currently mapo and VOBC only really connect in the fact that if the train gets a red mapo the emergency stop activates. The VOBC takes commands from the drivers...
