Posted by Jace on Tue May 6 09:26:43 2008, in response to A few thing I heard on Mondays., posted by North-Easten T/O on Tue May 6 00:54:37 2008. Some of what I've heard:1. R179's: no decision has been made as of on yet re: 60' vs. 75'. Some are still definitely in favor of more 60' cars for standardization purposes. CBTC ready for all new cars (revenue or otherwise) has been standard since the R143's. 4. Yes there are new A division cars planned but not to replace the 62's. With Flushing CBTC, new cars will be needed but only to supplement the R142/R142A's that go to Corona to replace the 62's. These 62's will be reassigned to the mainline when this happens. The Corona R142/R142A's will also have to be rebuilt for CBTC. 5. I haven't heard anything about the FIND going into the 142's but they better be prepared to change more than the signs (remember it has to tie in with the rest of the communications system - it also needs much more power than a strip map). Given the amount of work that should be required, I doubt this will happen anytime soon. Maybe with the CBTC rebuild. By the way, I'm guessing you mean CPM (Capital Programs) not CMP. CPM handles all the construction projects (including CBTC) but nothing car related. The Procurement department takes care of the cars (and the toilet paper!). |
