From the TA's standpoint, they do not want much publicity on this 50 year anniversary because it shows they fucked up over the years:1) They bought and scrapped 1,300 cars built subsequently because they opted for cheaper St Louis junk rather than more R32's clones from Budd, 2) They are around as opposed to the R44 due to the failure of congestion pricing, shortage of 480' long trains, and lack of flexibility of draw-barred sets that they have become addicted to. |
