Olog and Chris are correct. In addition, PATCO doesn't subject its train cars to as much pounding:1) The majority of the PATCO fleet doesn't run except at rush hour (2 car trains are the norm) whereas 8-12 car trains run frequently o LIRR. 2) Even with 2 car trains, PATCO doesn't see the volume of ridership that pounds the heck out of the cars. I'm not taking anything away from PATCO here. The agency does a good job, and deserves credit for that. But LIRR does a great job too (and so does SEPTA, considering how old many of those railcars are). |
