It's not only the trucks (BTW 6 cars would still be 7 trucks). Cost of maintenance is based on fleet miles. An 8 car train of 75 foot cars making a 65 mile round trip to 207th St and back would accumulate 520 miles for the trip while a 10-car train of 6o foot cars would accumulate 650 miles or 25% more mileage for the same 600' train. If your scheduled maintenance is mileage based, then 60' cars become far more expensive to maintain. |
