Miami & Baltimore opened in the early 80's(I took off as a M/M toride opening day in Baltimore).Any Rapid Transit system buying cars to expand in North America could be considered.WMATA will probably be ordering cars.Floor hightis a compatability issue,but not unsolvable. Just an open ended idea. Remember the original SIRT cars were 67 footers.The BMT Standard of 67 ft cars was used on SI,Philadelphia's Broad St.,& Boston's Cambridge Line(today's Red Line). The SOAC cars ran on Lindenwold,Broad St,Cambridge,& Skokie besides NYCTA. A standardized car is something to shoot for(unless someone's a consultant hired to reinvent the wheel). |
