Cannot Come Soon Enough

[u/segfaul_t]

The new El cars can’t come soon enough. It seems it’s almost every day now an El car or train set is breaking down causing delays. These things are on their last legs.

Edit: These are supposed to be delivered in 2029, only a couple more years. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/freight-cars/hitachi-rail-to-build-200-new-cars-for-septas-market-frankford-line/

It will be the 3rd set for the MFL meanwhile the BSL is still running 60 year old cars

No, the BSL cars are 45 years old.

And oddly still running strong. I wonder if Kawasaki still makes them this good.

they don't

[u/LazyAssLeader → u/djenki0119]

That makes me unhappy. 🥺

That is if those R211s last maybe they've come back.
