For the love of all that is tax money, please tell me they might go with 75'... Otherwise for every 400 75' cars that go out, we will need to maintain 500 60' cars... a 25% increase in fleet size for exactly 0 additional benefit.If they choose 5 doors per side, 75' cars would have nothing but benefits over 60' cars: -More usable space on the train -Same number of doors per train as with a 10 car 60' -Less maintenance for same amount of length -Greater safety (less separation per train, less likely to be alone in a car). The only negative: -The .001% of the time there is an emergency, passengers will need to wait until a crew member unlocks the doors from the cab, or push out the (designed to be broken) storm door window. |
