That is a lame excuse. I read here it had to do with the motors(over 100 years old, they need an overhaul, don't you think?). Changing out resistor grids is no big deal.Also, saying they were wired wrong implies someone didn't know what they were doing. Had they been wired wrong, they wouldn't run properly, and these meuseum cars probably get maintanence from older guys who are more familiar with them. Heck, it sounds like the MTA needs me to get down to some of their shops, and TEACH those people how to take care of railcars. I can only imagine how much abuse those poor R32s get. And then they get dumped into the ocean. Oh, and don't give me "these are old cars, finding parts for them is hard" BS ARGUEMENT, because the parts are NOT hard to find. If anything, the shops have to make them. You don't need the same exact resistor packs, what you need is an equal replacement, which gives the same resistance. MTA= Full of BS transit agency. |
