http://somerville.wickedlocal.com/article/20160217/NEWS/160216552Question is, is there anything preventing NYC subway cars from being used in Boston? They are dumping a lot of them in the ocean after all and the newest bastard dumping them are made out of stainless steel. Pic unrelated
I would imagine the loading gauge and length of the cars would be different.
>Question is, is there anything preventing NYC subway cars from being used in Boston?ham, boston can't even use other cars from boston on most of their underground lines. cars from another city aren't happening.

>>131999NYC has the same problem, three different transit companies with three different standards under one flag. According to this platform heights article, shit wouldn't work out too well for that alone.

CTA has the same problem. You won't see our cars over there anytime soon. Plus, after an agency's finished with a car, the car is pretty much shot out. The only thing left for them is scrap value, or some e-penis publicly stunt.

>>132007Wasn't it a couple of years back, the CTA auctioned off a bunch of memorabilia, including a pair of retired subway cars?I still regret not buying the damn things. They wanted less than five grand for the pair, but of course it'd cost just as much to transport them anywhere.

>>132008What would you have done with it? Made it either a diner or a houseboat?

As in.
>>132012That or a shed. If I've learned anything while helping out with the restoration of old streetcars is that an awful lot of transit vehicles end up serving as someone's shed or patio.>pic related

>>132016Yeah, like this little trailer that was used as a gazebo.
>>132037Brought back from beyond death, but the important parts, that is the truck and most metal parts were there.
>>132016I'd love to go rescue some of these! either restore them as is or put them back on the rails! My 1 crazy Idea is to get a PCC car & put it on a chassis, put a motor in the rear, with rubber tires & rent it out to movie studios! Course they did that with the Red Car in Roger Rabbit too
>>132011Cram a diesel generator set in it somewhere and make a redneck DMU?
>>132077That's actually how they do it on some tourist lines.>pic related

>>132080Is this still running?Dat feel when this could have been the firts real line of Portland Streetcar. "But muh property values!"

>>132080Kinda wish operators that used this method would spruce the trailer up a bit. At least paint it in the same colors as the streetcar itself, rather than a gray blob following a historic vehicle through the historic district.

>>132082They did actually paint it red. That's just an old picture I stole from Gewgle.
