You gotta start somewhere.Trouble is the M-7 / M-8 is so damned heavy, they should look at the Silverliner V. (VIA Rail is going to need an RDC replacement someday too). I took a tour of the Rotem shop last weekend. Even the single unit cars with 25 cycle transformer is "only" 147K lbs. The latter would have put a single car from a married pair M-8 over 80 tons. |
