Taylors Law Posted June 8, 2009 Share #176 Posted June 8, 2009 I was told there are 3 consists of 40 Slants running still.Within next two weeks, should be gone.. Dunno why though, Hit 52+ on the flats, and the braking was great.. Still tryin' to hit that elusive 50....woulda had it last week on a R44 if the damn Shuttle wasnt sitting in Broad channel.

LRG Posted June 9, 2009 Share #177 Posted June 9, 2009 The R32's outlasted the 26's by two years. The R26 was taken OOS after 43 years of service. The 32's are approaching their 45th year in service. Hell, the 36's didn't get to see 40. Heck no. Stainless steel cars all the way! I bet you that by the time R44s are taken OOS because of their carbon steel structure, there will STILL be some R32s left! Funny mentioning that the R36s didn't see 40 At least the 38s did.
