      Hopefully. Don’t forget doctors and other people with very important jobs need to take the train since it’s necessary, so if it doesn’t run then we got a problem still!

    Chinese trains? What the hell ever happened to "AMERICAN" rail car companies like Budd, American Car & Foundry, Pullman Standard, Brill, St Louis Car, & etc?

    • @cats0182
      @cats0182 Před 3 lety +5

      They all vanished when rail car building in America slowed down for a while. Foreign companies filled the vacuum that was created. It's an ugly, rancid situation especially with the entry of CRRC to the bidding process.

      These cars were taken out of service on orange line after one month.the 50 plus years American made subway cars filled the void. Oh those old quality USA subway manufactures well the ceos need that 70 foot yacht for use from million dollar condo .Nobody does it better than USA CEOs of the last 45 years to bankrupt their companies with debt to big loaners..reality only business in the USA in the black are USA private banks and USA big insurance which hold 16 trillion in USA govt debt and 28 trillion in USA corporate debt..way to go for 98 % of USA population in debt bondage to big finance,high taxation and 40 years of Subsidizing USA top 3% wealthiest..Globalist debt capitalism started the first day January 21 1989 the End of Pres.Reagan white House. 1000% in crease in USA govt debt,600% increase in USA corporate debt,a 300% increase in foreign debt..

      the new red line cars are expected to be in service by spring 2020, but my guess is mbta will delay it as usual. so expect them sometime between april - august of next year.

      The subway cars are cool, anyone know the name of that subway car, and I like the idea the train will have wider doors, that what New york City will get with the New R211 fleet subway cars build by Kawasaki in Japan. R211 will also have wider doors and some will be open gangway.

      This train is made in mass... engineered in china, shell made in china but assembled in Massachusetts hence finished product is out of the Us. Btw mist train company is dead in the US thanks to automakers and airlines lobbying and considering the term trains and public transport a socialist.

      Then why would they buy these trains? Are they dumb or what? Oh mind you those trains were built in Springfield, Illinois are you going to blame Chinese technology now or American workers?

    • @artoismta
      @artoismta Před 4 lety +2

      Pepper Ever heard of the R44 or R46, just because a product looks good, doesn’t mean that it is good. The CRRC equipment may operate fine, or it may flop we don’t know.
      -
      The reason transit agencies like the CTA, MBTA, and LACMTA buy these trains is because CRRC is a government subsidized company, allowing them to seriously under cut their competition.
      -
      Look up the bidding system and how subways cars are purchased.

    I think China made a big mistake building these MBTA trains why can't the MBTA get a better design outlook we are riding trash cans it looks like the same design and why am I getting a bad feeling derailment but the red line is another giant mistake we need better designs much better looking and Never ride these from China Nasty looking and gross looking the whole project is a waste of time and money
