The funny thing is that the same basic suspension was fine on buses, and still serves the bus industry well. Perhaps on welded rail it would have been better. (Actually Trailways went away from air suspension for its Eagle series of buses - and supposedly THAT system was better.)I still find it kind of doubtful that GM literally took the frame of say, a PD-4104, and threw it on a railroad chassis. There had to have been a LOT of modifications to them. The windows on a 4104 were much bigger - or seem to have been, for example. Should be noted that GMC Truck/Coach made a VERY durable, comfortable product. There are still a lot of 4501s....4104s and 4106s on the road today as people's motor homes. All of them structurally sound. |
