Posted by Sand Box John on Mon Feb 27 06:57:34 2012, in response to Re: BART’s New Fleet: Made in the USA, but Maybe Not in California, posted by FYBklyn1959 on Sun Feb 26 17:38:19 2012. . . . so I take it that the NTSB thinks they aren't up to snuff either, re crash worthiness?As far as I know the NTSB has not specifically pointed out the similarity and made a recommendation. It is my understanding that the Rohr built bart cars are structurally very similar to the Rohr built WMATA cars. That being said and the fact that bart cars have 2 door opening per side compared to the 3 doors in WMATA cars, I don't know if the bart cars have developed stress crack in them like WMATA cars have.  Door opening nearest to end of Rohr built WMATA car. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
