Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Thu Dec 16 09:37:35 2010, in response to Re: Photos: R30's being overhauled at 207th St, posted by LRG5784 on Thu Dec 16 09:19:33 2010. They got more the equivalent of an SMS rather than a full overhaul. The time they got out of the cars was sufficient. They were heavy cars and a/c would have made them heavier. NYCT had a business plan to have a 100% a/c fleet, they did not want to wait till the R143's came in! Plus, weren't they gone when the R68A came in anyway? I can't remember the time line, sorry.The cars done in house: before the R10 upgrade the shop forces were not trained in giving cars a real good overhaul. The R10 and R30 upgrade gave them experience on how to do a more thorough job on the 110 R42's (very debatable on how they turned out because they needed much more work than budgeted) and half the R44's. |
