Posted by Mysterious Friday 1986 on Wed May 2 23:09:58 2007, in response to Re: THE REDBIRD PHOTO THREAD, posted by R42 4787 on Wed May 2 22:50:59 2007. That's the one, if I'm not mistaken.To make a long story short, NJ's Department of Environmental Protection launced this 8-year program/study to see how the asbestos will affect sealife...despite the fact that lots of other studies concluded that asbestos does not harm if its underwater. So what does that mean for the rest of the redbirds rusting away? After some crews at Unionport Yard took the time to save redbirds of each class - hence, the Unionport Redbirds - the litigation was launched and the cars have been sitting there almost 5 years now. Maybe the R36 cars are part of that litigation too, because they've been sitting at Unionport since 2004, while occasionally moving the rail adheson car to and from Westchester Yard, and they've not been restored either. That may also go for the R36 ML cars 9542-43, which were briefly at the Transit Museum before being removed. |
