I am just saying that Bill said he saw no difference in the 2 groups of R40's. That would be a good scientific sampling to prove the OEM/Retrofit theory one way or another.That is because for all intents and purposes, all of the R-40s were retrofits since the A/C was added to the original design. "Then there is the Phase I verses Phase II issue. Was there an issue more with the ones on the C than the ones on the E, or vice versa ? At the end of their career the R-32s were moving around between Coney Island, Pitkin, 207th St and Jamaica. When they finally shook down, the 32 Phase is ended up at 207th St and the Phase II ended up at Jamaica. Before you read too much into that, the Phase II never went through the last SMS while the phase Is did. However A/C condensers were a 10% item, The main concern of the last SMS were the age of some of the trucks. "There has never been a push to get another SMEE subway car with retrofit AC outside except the R32." Most of the IRT up to the R-36s (excluding the R-33 singles) had a single A/C unit added so the answer is yes. |
