Re: WMATA 5k Car Get's A Second Life

That's very interesting to learn about the PA-3's, again considering the Boston Orange Line has basically the same exact trains but a longer car length.

I'm honestly curious to know just how compromised those Boston Hawkers are structurally and mechanically, especially considering PATH wanting their PA-3s gone first.

Boston's former Blue Line cars were actually built from the PA-3 contract and are technically PA-3s; same dimensions and everything. In 2009 they were replaced because of structural issues. I can't imagine how deteriorated the Orange Hawkers have gotten to at this point.
