The "Green" R-10s were a publicity stunt. The air engines were rebuilt, not replaced IIRC but those trains were in for maintenance every night. Had they been serious, they would have hung an SCM-1 group box and with the 100 HP motors, those cars would run fine but with the old door operators and no AC, they were just not worth the investment. Also keep in mind that those trucks were also well past their metallurgical lifespan - so there was also that. |
