Re: Will there be new 75-foot cars?

Actually, the ideal situation would be one standard sized railcar that could be used on the entire transit system but the differences on the IRT make that impractical necessitating 2 sizes of railcar for the system or else having an entire fleet of 51 ft long 9 ft wide cars. The differences in train length can be dealt with relatively easily and if the MTA really wanted to, it could extend the platforms in the Eastern to handle 10 car trains of 60 footers.
