But, in the current milieu the builders have become skilled at using political processes to get the job rather than offering the desired products. The new CTA cars IINM are being built in a plant within Cook County--skidoo cars for MTA are assembled in Upstate, MBTA is getting work done in state and IINM skidoo has leased a building within BART territory for assembly work. |

Sorry to tell you, but most of the equipment on these cars is coming from the US. CRRC builds the shell in China but almost all of the other equipment is supplied by either Siemens (LVPS, propulsion, trucks, ATC) or Wabtec (doors, brakes, HVAC); all of it made in the US. |

But it didn't keep a train from climbing an escalator a few years ago at one of their terminals (ORD ?) |

They still have mechanical stop arms at interlocking points and terminals. The problem at O’Hare seems to be that unlike NYCT, the signal system wasn’t designed to slow the train down sufficiently to avoid the collision. |

You can't help but wonder what a 4000-series train would have done. The 4000s were the equivalent of New York's BMT standards in that they were all-steel, but they weighed about the same as an R-17/21/22. |

I'm amazed that Skidoo still gets anything from the MTA, Alsthom is up there, Kawasaki is too. I'm suspecting that someone *cough* *cough* has their finger on the scale...NJT, on the other hand, will buy any stupid thing skidoo proposes. Gonna be fun when the 'emu' order starts showing up... |

Skidoo is a thing of the past, let's see what the new ownership brings...I don't think MTA has given them anything of substance recently, the 179s have been in the news, but that order is from quite a while ago. Sank them on a JV shot at the 211... |
