- 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.
-
- I'm beginning to think that the TA person who told me this (that one
- of the trains was in use or on order in another city) has his head up
- his butt...
-
- Jim, did your friends happen to mention whether perhaps the R-110b was
- in use or on order elsewhere in the country?
