Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Mon Jul 25 20:21:25 2016, in response to Re: Question - (Re: MTA's R211 subway car order procurement info (RFP) now online, up to 1545 cars), posted by randyo on Mon Jul 25 13:35:51 2016. "IRT clearances will have to be considered since if trains with passageways are in service on the BMT and IND"So why can't IRT cars of the next generation have passageways like B division cars? What do IRT clearences have to do with passageway safety?? Car width should not be an issue. Neither should car length. B division cars with their longer length & overhang had to be far more dangerous than IRT cars. Folks have walked between IRT cars for generations without any more protection than connector chains & lived (99% Ill guess) to tell about it. So with a passageway, it should be safer, no? Where am I wrong?? |
