Posted by Widecab5 on Mon Jul 26 18:37:38 2010, in response to Re: WMATA: 7k cars are not composed of 2 married pairs, posted by Joe V on Mon Jul 26 17:28:27 2010. In NYC, its two A's and 2 or 3 B's per 4- or 5-car set.(Though technically its A, A-Prime and B. That's another story.) In DC, it will be an A and a B sandwiching two C's on each 4-car set. Ergo, the cabs are in the A and B car but not in the C. I was in DC this weekend and it was discovered WMATA plans to use the 7000 series to replace the 1000, 2000 and 3000 series cars over several years. If all options are exercised there will be over 700 7000's delivered by late in this decade. And, BTW, WMATA does NOT plan to preserve any of its retired equipment in-house, though a few 1000's have already been reconfigured for work service. Regards, George Chiasson Jr. (Widecab5@aol.com) |
