More bad news about CRRC quality control:
CRRC is a Chinese government based company, that can pump out 10,000 rail cars
at home. No real need for QC, if a car goes down there are 9,999 left. Here when you are dealing with and order of only 450 cars QC is important. Back in the day when I worked at RCA I had an Army officer as a bug up my *** checking QC, for some reason I don't think the MBTA is in the building at Springfield. What standards are in China are different in the USA.
I think at some point we will get what ever cars/shells and end up building/overhauling them ourselves.
As an aside how is the CTA 7000s contract going?
