Imagine, after Just dealing with 2 contracts for subway cars,that basically turned out to be LEMONS, you receive 2 more. While the Japanese cars weren't as problematic,the French built R68 cars were Horror on wheels. The cars "guts" were rebuilt, reworked to get them to run Right. Built as single cars, they had to be unitized to make them efficient. The MTA, to this day, refuses to purchase married pair subway cars, ending the practice with the R42. The MTA RAILROADS, on the other hand, has always purchased EMU cars as married partners, except for the short lived M6 railcars. |
