I don't think they are planning anything to replace the 2000 and 3000's yet - not sure where you're getting that from. My understanding is that the full order would be 648 7000 series and upgrading the 100 4000 series cars.The 648 will: 1) Replace the 300 1000 series (you know, the 75' car with a 75' crush zone...) 2) Provide equipment for phase 1 on the new Dulles line 64 cars. Options for: 3) Dulles phase II another 64 cars 4) Two additional options of 130 and 90 cars respectively to increase the fleet size to allow more 8 car trains. |
