The R-110b was never supposed to "work out". It was a train to test new technology concepts for durability and reliability in the transit environment. The length of the car was an anomaly because a 6-car unit would be only 402 feet long and couldn't replace an 8-car train of 60 foot cars. It would never have been purchased for the eastern division in that configuration. |
