Restore The R-44s Already!!! |

Posted by ENY Blitz 5107 on Sat May 26 18:32:50 2012 OK,Folks-It is great that the R32s and R42s will be operating on the "A" Line once again this Summer.With that said,i think it is high time that the R-44s that are still operable be restored to service."Train Dude" did mention that there are 80 or so cars that can be restored to service.I am sure with some work that additional cars can be restored to service as well.Well,why not? They are just sitting dormant.Why waste them when there is clearly a need for additional equipment,especially in the Summer months when the A.C. is needed.Yes,i understand that this will require quite a bit of work but the end result will be worth it in the end.It is quite sad to read just why the R-44s met their untimely end.Once again,the ones who make policy never see the end results of thir decisions.Lets think about this a second:We have 80 somewhat serviceable cars just sitting there,while other car classes are run into the ground(read:R32s and R46s)I have operated Pitkin's and 207's R46s and they just do NOT operate as well as Jamaica's fleet.Sorry,thats the way it is; Pitkin's R-46s have PLENTY of dead motor's and cut out doors.Excess power,no dynamic brakes i have seen it all.Resurrecting at least some of the R-44s will take some of the strain off of the R-32 and R-46 fleet operating out of Pitkin and 207.I KNOW it can be done.Its just a question of how..."Train Dude":what say you??? |
