IIRC, San Diego sent the "best" U2s down to Mendoza, Argentina for that city's new light rail system. FWIW, they wouldn't be much good on LACMTA given that LACMTA aped the high floor approach of the Frankfurt Stadtbahn, and San Diego's units are designed for low floor operation. You'd be better off asking Calgary for their high floor units, and that even presumes that they'd meet LACMTA's clearance and platform height standards, and that Calgary would part with their (beat up from thirty years of winter operation) units any time soon. |
