You are also forgetting that the V would be shorter by the equivilent of of two 60 foot cars...that will also add a trainset or two.The problem is that any 8-car train will HAVE to use ENY R160's. Jamaica will only have R46's and 5-car R160's, meaning M/V combo consist could never have it's trains come from there. The pool of 4-car sets is limited, outside the cars that were used by the M right now, there are few alternatives, outside keeping some of the older SMEE's, which is unlikely. This is a flexibility constraint the MTA forced upon itself when it decided to buy permanent sets in 5 or 4 cars. |
