Re: (erielack) All aboard Bingo

Do RDC's meet current FRA standards regarding automatic train stop?  I 
thought that was the reason that MetroNorth gave up its RDC's--too 
difficult, if not impossible, to retrofit them with ATS.  Also, don't 
forget that RDC's have 2 brakestands, 2 control stands, and an engine 
that's difficult to service.  Occasional use is fine, but daily use would 
require more servicing than a push-pull trainset.
