[QUOTE="Fenway, post: 963325, member: 30445"] CRRC Springfield is also assembling cars for the LA Metro and I am not aware of any issues with that contract and as far as I know, the CRRC plant in Chicago has not seen any major issues with the CTA contract. CRRC delivers cars to Boston........ 🆘 The MBTA has dodged what could have been catastrophic accidents like this fiasco in 1975 - THREE trains colliding boggles the mind. [ATTACH type="full"]28672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]28673[/ATTACH] There was a horrfic streetcar accident in 1916 that is all but forgotten [ATTACH type="full"]28674[/ATTACH] There is a culture at the T that has been passed on from the BERy, MTA and now MBTA for over a century and nobody is accountable. A lifelong friend was an operator on the Red Line for 35 years and he lamented the elimination of block signals for ATC 1.0 circa 1980. He missed the visual green, yellow and red signals and vividly remembers ATC giving him a go at the blind curve between Kendall and Central but he held back and there was indeed a train at Central - he simply said I just knew.
