Re: R179 cars

I agree, but all the cars with unfamiliar technology had problems when first delivered to the NYCTS and that goes back to the R-10s which had truck problems and brake problems which were eventually dealt with. Since problems with the safety springs were mentioned, why didn’t the MTA go back to pantograph gates between the cars since unlike 75 ft cars, the IRT cars and the BMT/IND 60 footers don't have clearance problems with them.
