Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Sat Feb 25 21:27:04 2012, in response to BART’s New Fleet: Made in the USA, but Maybe Not in California, posted by Gold_12TH on Sat Feb 25 12:22:03 2012. OK, I get that the 'A' (original cab cars) and 'B' (original trailers) cars need to be replaced since they are 40 years old, but the 'C' cars? The first C cars (301-450, or is it 300-449?) are only 27 years old, and the C2 cars (2501-2580) are only 17 years old! Dunno what gives. Even if the new (D?) cars are uncompatiable with the Cs, they could still run a few all C trains. Maybe BART doesn't want to have a train of all cab cars, even some operating as trailers, so they are just going to dump everything and start over. Kinda wasteful, IMO. And the worst thing is, since BART operates that weird wide gauge (5 feet?), they probably won't send any to museums. :( |
