[QUOTE="Stanger00, post: 16016398, member: 128629"] Ahh ok. That makes sense. We had some crews from back east setup up devices during our testing on a new tapered wheel cut and compared the data to our cylindrical wheel cut. Tapered wheel cut is industry standard from what I hear. We had bad tire noise and flanges wore down to 6 within 2 years and BART did this for 35-40 years! Crazy expensive! All of the equipment is still installed under the car. If it were on top that would mean harnesses, cranes, latching systems for tooling etc. CALOSHA would have a field day with our Motley Crue, haha. We already have issues with hooking cranes to the car with dropped tools and hardware. However, these systems are designed to remove a few canon plugs and 4-8 bolts and they drop out. No fooling around with component level troubleshooting on the car. We're getting new heavy rail cars from Bombardier at the moment and the systems are bigger but laid out better and easier to maintain and remove. However, Bombardier is slow and way behind schedule and we already have 600 major modifications to perform on the first 50-60 cars that are built. You know normal kinks for a major redesign.
