For the first 10 years of their existence they were lemons with an MDBF under 15000 miles MDBF. It wasn't until the SMS program in the mid 1990s where the cars were linked that their performance began to improve. During the time of the Manhattan bridge shutdown, with less cars needed for service, that they really got good maintenance and the MDBF exceeded 400,000 miles |
