It was to be the 8 car R179s from the C as there are 10 car R211s and still the R46s to replace them.It sounds like the issue is abating as some runs that were cut are running again. I still think the root cause is that someone or group f'ed up big time. Remember the issue with the R211s and the leaks that caused the wheels to flat? I still contend that they f'ed up the testing by testing a train that didn't have the production wheels on it. Who messed up that testing? That would have broken protocol and been flagged during an audit at my job. If we tested something and it passed, then any changes made before it went into production would need to be tested too as thoroughly as the original test. My guess is something like this happened again, and maybe even the same group which is why it is so hush hush. Did they test ATO with a differently configured train? Did they not add passenger weight? OMG, I think I just figured it out. I am willing to bet that the cause of this will be the testing did not include the passenger weight. |
