Posted by randyo on Tue Oct 6 17:24:02 2009, in response to R-160 Option III Order, posted by TheCiskoKid on Tue Oct 6 09:41:55 2009. Even if there is no additional option on the R-160 contract, there is no reason why the R-179 number cannot be assigned to a fleet of cars identical to the R-160s. Before the new generation of planners came to the MTA, NYCTS cars with different contract numbers were often fully compatible with each other as long as their electrical and mechanical components were the same. R-1 through 9 cars were fully compatible with each other and only had minor cosmetic differences between them. The same was true of the IRT R-17s through 22s, 26s through 33s and the BMT's R-27s and 30s. |
