With new trucks and upgraded propulsion the m-1 could have lasted 45 to 50 years,Its a stainless steel body and frame, one thing upset the entire scenario is upgrades required to make car comply with todays FRA requirements.major weak point on M-1's was the fabricated truck, so heavier cast trucks simular to the M3's would have been ordered if rebuilt. |
