Posted by Scrabbleship on Sat Feb 18 19:21:27 2012, in response to Re: WMATA: 7k prototype car pictures, posted by Joe V on Sat Feb 18 18:51:29 2012. Metrorail MBDF for April 2010-March 20111000 series: 42,175 miles 2000-3000 series: 43,633 miles 4000 series: 29,496 miles 5000 series: 40,847 miles 6000 series: 89,258 miles The 4000's also have issues with door motors and compatibility issues of both motors (they're still DC, everything else is now AC) and auxiliary systems when run with other cars. Now if WMATA would stop the Fort Totten-initiated PR charade and run solid consists for optimal performance, this wouldn't be happening. The 4000s will be WMATA's answer to the R27/30s in NYC, the 2000s in Chicago, and the 01100s and 01400s in Boston at this rate. |
