Posted by MainR3664 on Sat Jan 21 12:02:59 2017, in response to NYC Transit Subway Car Program Progress Update (R179, R211) - 1/2017 presentation, posted by gold_12th on Fri Jan 20 17:31:36 2017. Thank you. The whole R179 thing seems so silly to me- a small order of orphan cars that's having a lot of trouble from the get-go. As far as others "in the know" on here have reported, there's very little if any functional difference between R179s and R160s- yet the units will be incompatible.It defies my logic to understand why they didn't just order more R160s- (even if a different contract number was used). The R160s seems to be working out OK after ~10 years of service- and now the fleet would just be 300 cars bigger- more cars perfectly interchangeable with each other. The original IND had the right idea, I'd say. |
