R10 2952 Posted June 24, 2010 Share #26 Posted June 24, 2010 Their stainless steel, they wont rot or they won't rot anymore then they already have. How can metal rot? I was speaking more figuratively than literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr4567 Posted June 24, 2010 Share #31 Posted June 24, 2010 No transit system anywhere could have used them? Third world even? Where will they get replacement parts from? Those cars were completely dead when I saw them yesterday. No contact shoes on the trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
error46146 Posted June 24, 2010 Share #32 Posted June 24, 2010 as said on subchat, the R110's were made for testing purposes. they are not going to ever be used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted June 24, 2010 Share #34 Posted June 24, 2010 im really wondering if there gonna scrap it because there not 40 years of age their just hitting 20(2) Most likely yes. They were only test cars for the R142s (or something related to that) and those been running for 10 solid years. They're doing nothing but take up space at whatever yard they go to.

Ms. W Supporter Posted June 24, 2010 Share #35 Posted June 24, 2010 ...I wonder how it looks.. (I apologize if this was mentioned on the forum previously) Why it can't go in service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted June 24, 2010 Share #36 Posted June 24, 2010 ...I wonder how it looks.. (I apologize if this was mentioned on the forum previously) Why it can't go in service. It can't go into service because it's an oddball trainset and it'll increase operation costs for only ten cars. In a perfect world, they could be rebuilt to run with the R142/As as the R11s were oddball trains until they were rebuilt to run with the other SMEE car classes. It's a good idea most certainly, but because this is the MTA we're talking about, it'll never ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted June 24, 2010 Share #38 Posted June 24, 2010 But that theory is flawed. It happened with the R11 I believe the R11s were rebuilt before the MTA was even formed. Back then it was the New York City Transit Authority. That organization was absorbed into the MTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted June 24, 2010 Share #40 Posted June 24, 2010 But that theory is flawed. It happened with the R11 No it's not, the R11 were rebuilt under the R34 contract and they could operate with SMEE equipment. Once parts ran out and one car was involve in a collision, they were removed from service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr4567 Posted June 24, 2010 Share #41 Posted June 24, 2010 No it's not, the R11 were rebuilt under the R34 contract and they could operate with SMEE equipment. Once parts ran out and one car was involve in a collision, they were removed from service. Oh, so they were still parts limited then.
