Posted by Newkirk Images on Sun Jul 25 17:45:48 2010, in response to WMATA: 7k cars are not composed of 2 married pairs, posted by Sand Box John on Sun Jul 25 14:57:25 2010. The 7k cars will sill share those various components and systems between the A and B car, cabless C cars will be placed between the A and B car creating a A-C+C-B train set.Sounds like WMATA is stealing a page from NYCT by having four car unitized untis. And with operating cabs at farthest ends of the consist, that should make for more seating and standee capacity, sans cabs. Any idea how the seats will be arranged in the new 7XXX series cars ? Maybe bench like with out cross seating for increased standee room ? Bill Newkirk |
