Theoretically, there is a way the 8 car R179 sets could be converted to 10 cars sets without having any cars left over. Right now there are exactly equal numbers of A and B cars in each 8 car set. The 10 car trains could be configured as follows:Half the trains would be ABBBA+ABBBA The other half would be AAABA+ABBBA Notice there are exactly equal numbers of A and B cars in the two sets. This assumes the cab end of the second A car in the second set would be coupled to the cab end of the third A car, and that the non cab end of the first A car could be linked to the non cab end of the second A car. In this way five 8 car sets could be converted to four 10 car sets. However there may be technical issues that preclude this. |
