If I had $25 million and a set of shop drawing I would commission the manufacture of 12 50' cars, 2 6 car sets, based on said shop drawing to fit within WMATA's load gauge for daily operational service.Outwardly they would look like New York R-9s and be equipped with propulsion hardware of that era. Their structural parts of the cars would be made of steel and composites with light weight composite interior and exterior panels with simulated rivets and ride on inboard frame trucks, surplus trucks from the retired 1k cars, to keep their weight down to the weight of an existing WMATA 8 car train. They would be equipped with roll signs using the same font style displaying all of the various WMATA terminal station pairs and would be painted the same green and have Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority lettered on their sides using the same font style as on the New York R-9s. No Metro M logo, No Metro disco ball logo. They would be equipped with all of the necessary hardware to operate them either manually or automatically under the supervision of WMATA's train control and signaling system and be equipped to allow the option of running the 12 car train with a mid train conductors position for the opening and closing of doors. Now that would be a site rolling into the Morgan Boulevard, Navy Yard or Galley Place stations after a game against one of the New York pro sports teams.

There's one little problem with all of that: it wouldn't be the real thing. Although I like the concept.Of course it wouldn't be the real thing. It would be the equivalent of a post war classic car reproduction with a brand new engine and modern safety features. I forgot to mention the trucks would be fitted with 125 hp DC traction motors on each axle giving the 12 car train a total of 6000 hp. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

Would they have three door sets for boarding Passengers?Thank you for pointing that out. Make that 2 sets of 5 60' cars not 2 sets of 6 50' cars. A 5 car set of 60' cars would be the same length, 300', as a 4 car set of the existing rolling stock. They would be 2 1/2" shorter then the Independent Subway R-9 and have the same number passenger loading doors per side. That would also reduce the number of powered axles with 125 hp DC traction motors to 40 giving the 10 car train a total 5,000 hp. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

Is that "shorter" referring to length or height?Shorter as in distance between coupler faces. The roof height above top of rail would be reduced by 16" to fit within WMATA's load gauge, 6" of that would be recovered because WMATA platforms are 6" lower then NYCT platforms.
