Posted by J trainloco on Mon Mar 26 18:14:30 2012, in response to Re: Little more info on the R-179 Bombardier contract, posted by Joe V on Mon Mar 26 17:17:59 2012. R32 sharp margin is about 35% (18 * 8/ 222). They put out about 4 or 5 R42's a day,so 20 - 40% with them,. That will go to 10% with the R179,so only 250 cars replace 272 R32/R42. There are 50 cars for either some SIR/R44SI replacement or Q train extension to 96th/2nd.TA has over-scrapped many times before (R30GOH,R32's) and they'll do it again. They're replacing 272 cars with 300. They have not confirmed that they will send some cars to SIR, but even if they did, you mention the R32 currently requires an abnormally high spare ratio, which is similar to what i've seen. The C will be operated with the same level of service but with fewer cars sitting around the shop. If the cars don't need to sit around the shop, they can go elsewhere. |
