They M-8's could just as well head into Hunterspoint Avenue, and the people can be in the Grand Central area offices just as fast had the train gone to the ESA terminal.The 75' cars were found to cut capacity on the Queens Blvd line due to poor ingress/egress. It was noticed when the R32's took over the E train when the R46's were sent to Hornell in the late 1980's. So they stayed on the E until the R160 came along. Given how maintenance headcount as been cut drastically over the decades, one cannot make the case anymore that 60' cars cost them a lot more maintenance, and not with their exemplerary MDBF. |
