Hahaha, that one I can't answer, lol. And as I mentioned, they were a BLAST to railfan, but they were rolling disasters (at least cosmetically) for the commuters. I don't think they were all that unreliable though, the old trains were more reliable than the new ones!! They just looked like rolling falling apart museum pieces.And while it made for one of the most interesting commuter operations in the country....who;s idea was it to purchase brand new switcher and frieght engines (the GP38's and MP15's) to pull passenger trains!! It sure was a unique operation for the railfan community..... |
