Interior signage will be slightly different from what I hear (No FIND, but just the evolution of the signage used on the original R142/A order) |

No one in management had yet heard how standardised spare parts could actually save money, let alone having maintenance workers learn a particular breed of equipment and be really good at diagnosis and repair. Part of why Chessie tried to keep the U boats on C&O tracks where parts were in stock at shops and then in early CSX times most of the GEs went south swapped for EMDs north again to collect units where theparts and expertise were. |

Yeah, like this car-buying kick for the IRT lines back in the 1950s and early 1960s:R15  R17  R21  R22  R26  R28  R29  R33  R36  R36WF  Cars with essentially the same design. Parts from older cars could be (and were) used on younger cars. |

As far as I know, it will not. If this is true, I think it may be because of a need to retain compatibility signage-wise with the R142/A fleet. |

When Bombardier convinces them to buy off-the-shelf Movias, Alstom convinces them to buy Metropolises, or Siemens convinces them to buy their Modular Metro. Until then they'll keep generating their own economies of scale by creating block obsolescence problems with huge orders for thoroughly out of date, slow rolling stock. |

Well surely at some point. Until then they should just keep calling them R142's and just keep tacking on letters onto the end. |

Oh, the so-called "Seats of Death."They haven't been installed on any of the R160s that were delivered without them, so I guess they wouldn't be on the 188s. |

R142A had the Adtranz which was bought out by Bombardier, and most likely is an updated version of it! The propulsion is Bombardier Mitrac which is also being used in the R179 Contract! |
