Because that was on the road at "Pumpkin Time"-the G.O. going inat Midnight.You can't always spot what you want off the road.The main priority is getting inspections/B.O.'s/washes off the road. Sometimes you get 4 or 5 R-160's in a row.You don't want terminal congestion if you can avoid it,which is hat might happen if you try swapping off the R-160's.The best trains to take off are the R-42's. Why? Because the R-42's would have to get their side signs changed at the START & FINISH of the G.O.Having the time & the bodies to straighten out the signs at midnight Friday night & 5AM Monday morningis a crap shoot at best.Best to leave the R-46's & R-160's with sign changing at the push of a button.Another good reason to leave the R-160's on the road is these are new cars UNDER WARRANTY.The Warranty is based on time.Run the hell out of them & lay up the older stuff. |
