Posted by (X) 2nd Avenue Local on Tue Feb 6 21:52:05 2007, in response to Re: Modern Subway Cars vs. Older Subway Cars (pros, cons, memories, thoughts)), posted by subway nutz on Tue Feb 6 21:15:21 2007. Probably up to 1,000 cars.The specific number would depend on how mcuh of the original BMT equipment would retire, how mcuh equipment would be needed for basic service requirements and whethere they would be service increases on some lines and/or the number of spare consists that would be needed. A 1,000 cars is a bit much, but not entirely unreasonable, if most of the Standards were retired, instead of them being overhauled, though that 1,000 would still been a bit too much if the Multisections and Triplexes still in service at the time. |
