Sorry, but you misconstrued my statements..."Someone on Subchat (forget whom) tried to claim that these cars would not venture east of Gary. This is evidence to the contrary . . ."What I said was that these cars were purchased for and would be assigned to the high capacity trains between Gary Metro and Millennium Station in downtown Chicago. There are five westbound trains between Gary and Chicago and six eastbound trains. Saying that the cars would be used for Gary-Chicago trains does not say that you would never see them east of Gary....The shops are in Michigan City so obviously the cars have to go east of Gary, doing that even on a daily basis. Lastly the bilevel cars have now developed auxilliary power troubles which has caused them to be restricted from rush hour trains until a remedy is found. Thus, they might be found on revenue trains that go east of Gary and not just deadheading to and from the shops. Hope this clears things for you. David Harrison |
