- St. Louis is using LRVs built by Siemens-Duewag in Sacramento, CA.
- They look nothing like the R-110a. I've talked to two friends who
- work for the TA in New York City (Ken Lin and Bill Hough) and they
- both said that that the R-110a is just a technology demonstrator and
- is very unlikely to be put into production in its current form.
