The Rockwell trucks wer actually an outside bearing truck and there was actually nothing wrong with the truck design per se. The problem was that the inept TA new car engineering department issued incorrect specifications for the amount of stress that the trucks would be required to accomodate. The result was a truck structurally insufficient for the conditions on the NYCTS.To that end, didn't Rockwell end up supplying the trucks for WMATA's 1000 series, which was either very similar or identical? |
