From: Dan_Bower%RPI-MTS.Mailnet@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA Rumor has it that with the Arlington/Warrington line returning to service, PAT will reactivate 3 1600 series cars for regular service on the hill. (For those of you who've never been to Pittsburgh, this is the line with 9%+ grades. Also, the 1600 series cars have air brakes as well as electric brakes. With an air compressor on board, they have pneumatic sanders. The <slightly> newer 1700 series cars are all electric, and depend on mere gravity to get the sand to the rails.) By the way, SL0D, how's life in the subway?
