Maybe they were too heavy but there was no overhaul program scheduled for the R16s. They decided on only the GE R30s, collector car retros and newer to go to complete GOH while the 110 WH R10s got mini overhauls. GE 10s and GE R27s were disposed of. I didn't know there was a car done, but I'd imagine they added up the costs when it was finished and decided against it for its age as most everything that went through a GOH except for the collectors was not much older than 25 years. It really shocked me to see 30+ year old R10s getting the money they got and not the R16 considering the conductors working safety and working conditions. |
