No bridge plate is necessary if the cars and platform are properly designed. OTOH, the California Cars when first delivered had mega thousand $ swing out, mechanical lifts. About as nice as high floor bus lifts. And they were lemons. There are storage slots on Superliners for bridge plates--but the plates are not always "in stock".So, since my experience is that high platforms DO work well, I remain in favor of them. |
