Posted by JayZeeBMT on Tue May 6 09:35:20 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. 75 foot cars again? Once more, the TA needs reminding that 75 foot cars have longer loading/unloading times.10 car train of 60 footers = 40 doors per side of train 8 car train of 75 foot cars = 32 doors per side of train. The TA has known this since 1970. I understand the need to save $$ by ordering fewer cars, but the cost returns as energy & time expenses as delays build up during rush hours. I was under the impression, also, that the TA was sticking with 60' cars as they can be used anywhere in the BMT/IND system. (I always thought 75' cars couldn't operate on the Eastern Division, but I could be wrong...) |
