I still content that that’s why all the novas got sent to FG with them only having Milwaukee as a route that racks up deadmilage. They seem to be being more careful with keeping new equipment on the heavy lines similar to how the 5000s are pretty much where they are needed. Blue just needs a rebuild to handle new cars otherwise the 5000s could’ve easily gone to Blue, Brown, Orange and pink; all 3200s on the red with the 2600s staying on the green, purple and yellow. I winder why the brown didnt get the 5000 cars in surprised they didnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown and orange use 178 and 188 which means you are short 80 cars and since they wanted lines fully converted that left the pink and green as the only lines that can take them. Now you could say they had enough left to convert either the orange or brown fully but why give 2 lines that always had the newer equipment (one of which is relatively light) while green and pink had 2600s and 2400s? Even if the blue was able to run 5000s and they had them instead of the red line, they use 400 cars and after which if you send them to orange or brown you would only have enough to put them on green pink OR purple and they would only be able to choose green at that point due to them wanting Howard using an interchangeable fleet. So by using the current set up you only have 3 lines running old equipment compared to anything else you’d probably have 4-5 using old equipment sense Howard wouldn’t only assign 5000s to one line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
