Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Aug 4 11:23:10 2005, in response to Re: When they put a R40 Slant in the Transit Museum...., posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Aug 4 11:11:08 2005. Couldn't they couple the R30 up with the R16 or something to make it run? I guess my hope for riding an R30 or an R16 again is sort of crushed, because now that the centenial is over, it appears the MTA has lost much of it's interest in the museum once again. If they didn't run last year, it will never run again, at least not in the near future.And you are absolutely correct, it perhaps will mean "static display", however, I can see them marrying different classes into married pairs. it's the only way to save two different classes, operable, and not have overkill by having to save two of certain classes, which is sort of redundant, especially in a world of limitted funds for maintenence, or capacity to keep them. The R44's will be a tough one. I can't see them saving more than one, and at the same time, they need to be paired, although can't be paired with the 60 foot cars. Personally, I think they will ljust completely scrap the R44 class without saving any. After all, they look almost identical to the R46's, especially in laymen's terms, and the R46's will still be running. They will probably wait to save one till when the R46's are scrapped, and save one of them. Perhaps by that time, they can attach the remaining R46 to an R68, and just save it that way in the future. |
