I've been mulling this over for a bit.... What would it take for the to consider throwing a decent amount of cash into extending the service life of the R68/R68A. I barely remember GOH back in the 90's (I was a lil' scraper) for the R44/46s b/c they were so decrepit, but JR group companies do this over in Japan with their commuter trains from the 70's, 80's & whatnot. Basically to give the 68/A's a good 10+ years of additional use since they're still in pretty good shape. I'm talking a dedicated overhaul, not this ragtag stuff they did to a few 2800's....
Any thoughts?
(yeah, I know.... there's no money fo that :P )
