Has anyone of you ever heard in some odl trains especially the
metropolitan
ones that there is a noise after the accriage of a machine like a
generator
that periodically starts and stops, and it lasts for a few seconds.

Is it some kind fan ?? i noticed this starts when a train starts has been
running for a while and it isnt met in new trains (so loudly at least)
