Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Tue Dec 20 13:11:44 2005, in response to Miami Cars in Los Angeles (was: Re: Baltimore Metro & [Miami] cars-similarity ?), posted by WillD on Sat Dec 17 23:41:09 2005. I saw the Miami Metrorail cars in person, during a Red Line open house at the Red Line yard and shops on 5/23/92 (postponed from 5/2/92 due to, ummm "civil disturbances") There were 2 pairs, 126/127 (which is an anomaly, most Metrorail cars are in consecutive pairs with the even numbered car being highest, 126/127 is on exception, the other is 125/128) and 141/142. I took pictures which I may post in the future. It was the first time I had ever seen Metrorail cars, as at that time I had only been to the Miami area once, in 1978. They did not ever operate in revenue on the Red Line, they were borrowed from MDT for testing purposes because Breda was late in delivering due to a problem with a subcontractor. Breda did eventually deliver enough cars for the opening of the initial segment of the Red Line on 1/30/93. |
