Posted by randyo on Wed Jan 8 03:12:12 2020, in response to R-179 car saga... The entire fleet is Out of Service! AM rush hour...haha, posted by gold_12th on Wed Jan 8 00:31:10 2020. The problem with a “defect” like that is that car equipment dept will examine the entire fleet, not be able to find anything wrong and OK the fleet for service only to have the defect magically appear somewhere else. When I was in the command center I wrote up an A train (R-10s) that had 2 separate BIEs on the same trip. The car was shopped to 207 St barn and car equipment kept rying to duplicate the situation that caused the condition and was about to give up after the 99th try when on the 100th try the condition occurred and they were able to find the case and correct it. |
