Given the R42's a reprieve?

4830 and 31 are at CIOH for SMS work according to reports. Various components are being replaced/repaired/reconditioned. It would appear they will have to hang on for a bit longer...

Also...two R44SI Cars are in the shop for work as well.

I'm not entirely clear on that issue, but Transit will do just enough to make them suitable for a few more years of service.

I would be inclined to say some repairs got done on top....

A lot of them are being held together by Bondo tape like the Slants was there final days in service.. I wonder how this SMS will handle that.

It's not as serious as the slants,i'v seen maybe one or two cars with Bondo tape on them.the rust sticks out the most though.

It seems to be just along the edges of the roof.

R42's would go before the R32. If they are overhauling that junk, they must really be in panic about the SAS coming on-line, and the R179's further delayed.

Too bad the TTC retired H class cars are too fat to run here. They'd probably work for the C train.
