Was that a failed venture ?There has to be some technical difference, aside form retrofit and age, that the R32's AC sucks. M-K did both the R32 & R42. None of the theories seem to prove out. PATH's PA1's had it working for 45 years, though were built with it, and it was a tiny car. Not much outdoor running on their 4 routes. 200 of the the retrofit R40 Slants had it working OK for 20+ years, and they lived mostly in tunnels. For the 40 on the Eastern Division, rarely on outdoorsy the J/Z, mostly on the L train. |
