Posted by MainR3664 on Sun Nov 4 21:17:12 2007, in response to Re: Staten Island Railway to get New Trains, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Sat Nov 3 11:31:13 2007. I have no prfessional abilities to run any transit system. But my personal intuition (for whatever that's worth) tells me that SIR equipment should be kept as similar as possible to subway equipment. Heavy overhauls are done at CI, and using similar equipment makes that more straightforward.Also, even though it is legally an FRA railroad, 36 years of TA administration (heck, even the 1925 SIRT cars look like Standards) has given it the look and feel of the subway. Since I can't imagine any other body running it in our lifetimes, I'd think it more efficient to stick with this paradigm, which basically seems to work. |
