From what I know, not much is said about the litigation, but the then Governor of NJ DiFrancesco claimed the MTA kept disposing the Redbirds into the Atlantic knowing that the cars contained asbestos. Most of the stuff was kept between layers of epoxy that was kept within the walls inside the car bodies.So the litigation is, IIRC, that until NJDEP concludes its 8 year study, MTA can't dump more cars into the sea, and moreover, do amything much with the remaining Redbirds (Ex: no fan trips, no restorations, etc). Of course the cars sitting at Unionport can be moved around...but that would apply if they are doing something "work service-related". (Ex: moving work cars between yards). |
