First, in regard to a post you made earlier:

The R44/46 was a car order that when combined featured about 1000 75' cars. That's 125 trains, far more than the SAS would ever need. My question is: why order so many cars with ATO capability?

Keeping the PRESENT system up and running makes more sense than building totally new lines ,while leting the rest go to pot.

Heh, but back then, they didn't expand the system, AND they let it go to pot.

Now that the system is looking GOOD again..and they[the MTA] have begun to expand the system..they should take a look at the old plan..and finish what they started

That will never happen. Every plan that potentially could have opened up service in the outer boros where there was none was either shot down (Astoria to LGA), or built in such a way that it doesn't help the locals (Airtrain). Sadly, there seems to be little incentive to invest in new construction in the outer boros.
