St Louis Car 09

In our local newspaper the dire situation of the M2 cars is making the papers almost everyday.especially with this brutal weather.

Or follow what I do. Use the bathroom at GCT or any other station right before boarding if you want to avoid that smell.

I put $25 on Bombardier.:tup:

For M2s to be that old,they still ride pretty smooth.

Oy Vey.More delays for the M8s (Mates)

they arent doing the R142s from bombardier they only doing the R142a from Kawasaki

I'm getting really tired of the cold and snow. -___-

Yes I had this magnificent dream where all rolling stock were NTTs...I foamed in my pants when I woke up

It is the R142A. Kawasaki's doing the construction

I knew it.

Now that you've mentioned that, I confused all over again..... either the R142 or R142A cars is gonna be converted.

Lol its real...I found this at Penn Station on the uptown platform after I got off work today. the time also said 6 a.m but I didn't get a picture of that since the train was comming

That sign proved that 2012 is bullshit.

This one hurt the most.

what about SIR? Weren't they suppose to get cars to replace the R44s on that line from this order?

Amazing! When I started this thread, I didn't think it would be so popular, maybe, but here we are at page 200 and one post from post #2000.

 

Thank you to everyone who contributed a random thought and thank you to Harry, Zach, East New York, Y2 Julio, and Dan 05979 for allowing this thread.

Party like its post# 1999!!!!

Everyone who hopes Kawasaki! No bombardier supports I see...they made a breakthrough with the R142.

 

Btw I do hope Kawasaki gets it...

Bombardier supporter Right here.:tup:

I don't care who gets to build these cars. I want to see if the picked the right contractors to build these cars, and I just want to see if it would get done in time. Since the R160's were built in Brazil then I guess they are Brazilian.

Nothing really, I think everyone wants it to go to Kawasaki because one of there plants is in Yonkers, meaning more jobs and money for the state and they can be delivered faster. Although they still construct body shells in different places, R160 shells were made in Brazil.

Im betting on Bombardier.Bombardier is also in N.Y.Plattsburgh to be exact.So money and jobs will be kept in New York.

Totally agreed... I can't wait for more comfy seating, cleaner lager bathroom and smoother ride.

 

The article mentioned these cars are the most complicated cars in North America? How so? Is it because they are AC and DC cars?
