The R46 had a much more comfortable experience for the rider. They were built with HVAC while the R32s had it added and were never properly insulated. But as far as the rest a 600' train of R32s had 40 door openings per side while the 600' R46s had just 32 so loading and unloading of the 46s was slower. At the same time, while similarly weighted, a train of R32s had 4600 horsepower while R46s nearly 900 horsepower less so they were less nimble. Of course because of the way controllers were set up, performance seemed similar |
