Posted by metropod on Sun Aug 24 21:18:09 2008, in response to Re: MBTA Boston: Blue Line's new cars, posted by JournalSquare-K-Car on Sun Aug 24 14:07:56 2008. there are still 68s on the N last time I checked. they might end up seeing B service.the blue lines yard was built when the extenstion to suffolk downs opened. the older cars had worked fine to that point and then began the long spiral. they were insufficent for the new line anywhy, which is why more cars were bought, the 1950s models that lasted only into thier 20s. you see a pattern here. 20 years out there and they shart showing wear. the 1950s cars lasted 20-30 years, an the current fleet is showing the same. the MBTA only expects to get 20-25 years of service out of this current model. |
