The cheapness of the IRT was of little consequence since the time of the move was after unification so it would have been on the city[’s dime (or nickel). Although the move described via 9 Av would have been logistically possible, I was told that even the MUDCs used on 9 Av were the older and lighter weight cars due to the weakness of the structure. It seems interesting that the city would attempt such a move even with restricted speed and extreme caution since even a very slightly overweight train could have damaged the structure and possibly cause a serious accident. |
